Job description

We are looking for a high-performing Director of Finance. You will be the primary architect of our financial engine and a key strategic partner to the leadership team. You aren’t just here to manage the books; you’re here to translate our ambitious vision into a rigorous financial model that drives decision‑making. You will own everything from high-level preparation and board reporting to the foundational plumbing of our daily accounting operations. We’re looking for a builder who thrives in ambiguity, loves a clean spreadsheet, and can explain the "why" behind the numbers to every stakeholder in the company.

Tasks

• Financial Modeling & Strategy: Build and maintain our long‑range operating model, including integrated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow projections.
• Fundraising & Board Relations: Lead the preparation for future funding rounds and own the monthly/quarterly financial reporting for our Board of Directors.
• Revenue Operations & Billing: Oversee the end‑to‑end billing process, ensuring accurate invoicing, managing subscription lifecycles, and resolving any billing disputes or discrepancies.
• AR & Collections: Own Accounts Receivable (AR) by monitoring aging reports, proactively following up on overdue accounts, and optimizing our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) to maximize liquidity.
• Full‑Cycle Reconciliation: Manage the monthly close process, including bank and credit card reconciliations, to ensure our books are accurate, audit‑ready, and reflect the true state of the business.
• Cash Flow Management: Monitor with extreme precision, providing early warnings and strategic recommendations for capital allocation.
• Operational Infrastructure: Implement and manage our tech stack (ERP, payroll, spend management, cap table) to automate manual processes as we scale.
• Budgeting & Departmental Partnership: Collaborate with Department Heads to set budgets, track variances, and optimize ROI on headcount and spend.
• Compliance & Risk: Manage tax filings, annual audits, insurance renewals, and regulatory compliance.

Requirements

• Relevant Experience: 5+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally with a mix of "Big 4" accounting/IB and a leadership role at a high‑growth VC‑backed startup.
• Modeling Mastery: Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills—you should be able to build complex, dynamic models that are both robust and easy for others to navigate.
• Strategic Intuition: The ability to look past the data to identify business trends, risks, and opportunities for operational efficiency.
• Startup Grit: A "no task is too small" mentality. You’re comfortable jumping between a board deck and an un‑categorized transaction in accounting software.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to distill complex financial concepts into actionable insights for non‑finance teammates.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics; a CPA or MBA is a significant plus but not a dealbreaker for the right experience.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive health, dental, and specialist benefits.
• Company Macbook.
• Free parking and shuttle service to the office.
• Extra PTO during occasional US holidays.
• Company events, in‑office restaurant, and building‑wide perks.
• Unlimited ping pong and espresso!
