Executive Assistant to CFO

**Role:** Executive Assistant to CFO
**Company:** Our client
**Type:** Full-time remote
**Reports to:** Dakota Damiani, CFO
**Start:** ASAP

### Overview
Comfrt is hiring an Executive Assistant to support Dakota Damiani, the company's CFO. This person will run the day-to-day executive support for Dakota — calendar, inbox, meeting coordination, follow-ups, and confidential information — and must also have a finance background. Comfrt already has EAs supporting other leaders. This seat is specifically for the CFO and should feel comfortable in a finance environment, not only in a general admin one.

The hire needs to be a strong EA first. A finance-only profile with no executive assistant experience is not a fit. "Finance background" means demonstrated experience in or alongside finance (for example bookkeeping, accounting, FP&A, finance operations, or supporting a finance leader), not merely having worked at a financial-services company.

### What you'll do
- Own Dakota's calendar, scheduling, and meeting coordination across PST hours, including internal finance reviews and cross-functional meetings
- Manage inbox triage, draft or route correspondence, and keep follow-ups from slipping
- Prepare meeting agendas, briefing notes, and follow-up trackers so decisions and action items are captured and closed
- Coordinate with Comfrt's finance team and other stakeholders so requests, documents, and deadlines stay organized
- Help gather, organize, and format materials Dakota needs for reviews, reporting cycles, and leadership meetings
- Track recurring finance-calendar items (close timelines, reviews, filings, and check-ins) and flag risks or missing inputs early
- Handle confidential financial, people, and company information with discretion
- Keep work organized in the team's tools (Slack, email, and project tracking such as Asana) and build simple systems where they are missing
- Handle travel, expenses, and administrative logistics as needed
- Be a proactive partner: surface what needs attention, protect focus time, and keep work moving without waiting to be asked

### Must-haves
- Proven executive assistant experience supporting a senior leader (ideally C-level, a finance leader, or a similarly senior operator)
- A finance background — experience in finance, accounting, bookkeeping, FP&A, finance operations, or closely supporting finance work and terminology
- Excellent written and spoken English, with a professional, concise communication style
- Exceptional organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
- Discretion and judgment with confidential information
- Comfort working remotely and asynchronously, with reliable overlap in PST hours
- Confidence using Google Workspace or Microsoft Office, Slack, and a task or project tool (Asana or similar)
- A proactive, calm style in a fast-moving environment

### Nice-to-haves
- Prior experience supporting a CFO, VP of Finance, Controller, or finance leadership team
- Experience at a DTC, e-commerce, or high-growth consumer brand
- Comfort with spreadsheets, expense tools, and basic finance reporting packs
- Experience building light SOPs or trackers for an executive or finance team

### Success looks like
- Dakota has a reliable EA who keeps her calendar, inbox, and follow-ups under control from week one
- Finance-related meetings and deadlines are prepared for and tracked without last-minute scrambles
- The EA can hold a conversation in a finance context and work cleanly with the existing finance team
- Sensitive information is handled carefully, and stakeholders get timely, professional follow-through
