MAD CAPITAL IS HIRING!

Mad Capital is a Boulder Colorado-based company established to accelerate the regenerative and organic revolution in agriculture! Mad Capital is working to impact 10M acres of regenerative and organic farmland by providing farmers with strategic financial products and resources.

• Why it matters - Through our reliance on industrial and extractive agricultural practices, we’ve systematically degraded ecosystems and created many of the largest challenges humanity has ever faced, from declining soil fertility, and dwindling rural wealth, to biodiversity loss, and climate change—and we’re running out of time to fix it.
• Why regenerative agriculture - Regenerative organic agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that focuses on maximizing the health of soil, people, and ecosystems. It takes a living systems approach, working with nature, rather than against it, and it actually isn’t new. Forward-thinking farmers have been using many of these practices for decades, but they need support if we’re really serious about turning this thing around.
• Why Mad Capital - The idea of Mad Capital started in 2018 with the team developing, launching, and deploying a first-of-its-kind regenerative and organic agriculture investment fund. Today we’re a nimble, well-capitalized team composed of exceptional individuals and dreamers supported by the broader Mad Agriculture family, our network of partners, advisors, mentors, investors, friends, and a growing community of like-minded folks working to build better agricultural systems around the world.

JOIN US!

We don’t have time to mess around! To curb the current use—and reverse the legacy—of industrial and extractive agricultural practices, we need to direct billions of dollars into the regenerative organic space as soon as possible. We need ambitious, creative, and empathetic people like you to get this done. With this need in mind, we have an amazing opportunity for an experienced CFO to join the revolution in agriculture!

As a key member and leader of Mad Capital’s Finance team, you will be responsible for daily accounting operations, including the accounting, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and reporting, as well as providing support to company leadership on strategic financial decisions and otherwise monitoring the financial health of the organization.

What This Means

• Work with purpose - This is an opportunity to make a deep impact and meaningfully contribute to the growth of a thriving organization in the business of helping regenerative organic farmers. For most of us, work is one of the largest time commitments we will ever make. In joining Mad Capital, you’ll find a team of smart and caring professionals invested in building something bigger than themselves.
• Generous compensation - You work hard and will be compensated for it. The salary range for this role starts is $120k to $150k per year, plus generous stock options. Mad Capital determines a candidate's compensation package throughout the interview process based on experience, expertise, and other factors and the final compensation package will be discussed with you during the interview process.
• Company ownership - You will share in the company’s success. All full-time compensation plans include an ownership stake in the company in the form of stock options.
• Stress-free benefits - We don’t want you worrying about your health or the well-being of your family. We offer fully-paid health insurance, a 401(k), and 12 weeks of fully-paid parental leave.
• Required time off - Employees are expected to take all bank holidays off and are required to take at least 1 week of mandatory vacation per quarter. We’re very flexible, but we’ve found that a minimum requirement helps ensure folks take much-deserved time for themselves.
• Development support - Mad Capital is deeply committed to the personal and professional development of all team members. We support this work with mentorships, community introductions, brown bags, tuition assistance and a flexible work schedule so you can fit it all in.
• New friends - Here at Mad Capital we’re building a team composed of people we like and want to spend time with. People from different paths who think about the world a little differently and challenge others to do the same. We’re constantly planning company trips, get-togethers, and learning opportunities.

Primary Activities

• Follow the numbers - You will build out our internal financial systems, managing and monitoring all accounts, ledgers, and reporting systems ensuring compliance with GAAP and other applicable standards and regulatory requirements. You will have oversight of three core aspects of Mad Capital; i) company financial management ii) farmer portfolio management, and iii) debt provider management.
• Lending systems - You will confirm loan tracking and billing tools are operating as intended and providing the necessary detail to inform internal and external monitoring and reporting. You will develop and implement the necessary systems to manage capital provider engagement compliance, flow of funds, and other lending-specific tools.
• Mind the details - You will be a critical piece of our internal quality assurance system. You will take point on developing and implementing internal controls and safeguards for the receipt of revenue, costs, and both team and organizational budgets and actual expenditures. You will also develop and enforce internal controls to maximize the protection of company assets, policies, procedures, and workflows.
• Help us get better - We’re a fast-growing organization and it’s critical that we’re laying a solid foundation. We’ll look to you to develop and implement consistent accounting policies, practices, and procedures across the business, upholding federal, state, and local legal standards by remaining knowledgeable about existing, new, and future legislation.

• Financial Law - You have a deep, working knowledge of finance law and regulatory standards, including GAAP. Ensuring compliance with these frameworks is a key metric of success for this role.
