Job description

About Statflo

Statflo is the business texting platform that helps front-line teams at telecom, financial services, and retail companies have personalized, compliant, one-to-one conversations with customers at scale. Our mission is simple:

Make every rep your best rep.

Today, Statflo powers more than 30 million conversations a year for enterprise clients, backed by built-in compliance safeguards (TCPA, CTIA, CASL, SOC 2) and deep integrations into our customers' existing systems. We're a remote-first company of 40+ people headquartered in downtown Toronto, and we operate by four principles: Be Accountable, Be Results-Driven, Be Curious, and Be Kaizen (continuous improvement, every day). We hire smart, capable people and trust them to do their best work.

Compensation: $130- $150k

Location: Toronto (Hybrid)

What is the Opportunity?

Statflo is hiring its first Director of Finance — a senior, hands‑on leader who will own finance for the company as we scale. You'll be the most senior (and, initially, only) member of the finance function, acting as a strategic partner to the CEO, board, lenders, and shareholders, while also supporting key operational functions including RevOps and Salesforce administration.

We plan to hire a Controller within the next twelve months to own day‑to‑day data entry and transactional accounting, but that hire hasn't happened yet — so this role requires a genuine willingness to roll up your sleeves and get into the details until that support is in place. This is a rare opportunity to build a finance and ops function largely from the ground up, shape it in your own image, and grow into a broader leadership role as the company scales.

You Will Be Able To

Strategic Finance

• Serve as Statflo's senior finance voice with the board, management team, lenders, and shareholders — preparing board materials, financial updates, and ad hoc analyses that inform key decisions
• Own the company's financial projection model and cash-runway model, keeping them current, accurate, and stress-tested against multiple scenarios
• Lead financial planning & analysis (FP&A): budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and monthly/quarterly reporting for the leadership team and board
• Manage relationships with lenders and support debt covenant compliance and reporting
• Support fundraising, financing, and other strategic transactions as needed, including data room management and due diligence
• Track and report on core SaaS metrics — ARR, CARR, MRR, gross revenue retention (GRR), and net revenue retention (NRR) — and translate them into insights that shape pricing, packaging, and go-to-market decisions
• Own cap table management and equity administration

Hands-On Finance

• Support the monthly close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing/collections
• Ensure accurate, timely, and compliant financial statements and tax filings (working with external accountants as needed)

Operations

• Support Revenue Operations (RevOps): sales forecasting (as part of the projection model), quote-to-cash processes, and commission/comp plan administration
• Administer and continuously improve Salesforce (or partner closely with an admin/consultant) to ensure the CRM supports accurate reporting and clean data across sales, marketing, and customer success
• Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and insurance, and support legal/compliance matters in coordination with outside counsel
• Identify and implement systems and process improvements across finance and ops as the company scales

Team Building

• Define the hiring plan for a Controller and other future finance hires; lead the search, hire, and onboard that person
• Build the processes, systems, and controls that will let the finance/ops function scale smoothly as the team grows

What you need to Succeed?

• 7–10+ years of progressive finance experience, including meaningful time as a Controller or in a similarly senior accounting/finance role, and you're ready to take the next step into a strategic, cross‑functional leadership seat
• Strong SaaS industry background, with fluency in ARR, CARR, MRR, GRR, and NRR, and a solid understanding of how these metrics connect to unit economics and business strategy
• Direct experience building and owning financial projection and cash‑runway models
• Experience preparing for and presenting to a board of directors, and ideally direct experience working with lenders and/or shareholders/investors
• A genuine willingness to be hands‑on with day‑to‑day transactional work in the near term, balanced with the judgment to operate strategically
• Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy and ambiguity in a startup/scale‑up environment, with strong prioritization skills across a broad mandate
• CPA (or equivalent) designation preferred, not required
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex financial and operational information for a range of audiences, from the board to first‑line managers

Why Join Us?
