• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable activities through the internal finance team.
• Maintain finance policies, procedures, and internal controls appropriate to the organization's size and stage.
• Support leadership with strategic and special projects, providing financial analysis and recommendations as required.
• Operate as a proactive finance partner to leadership, balancing financial discipline with the flexibility required in a high-growth environment.
• Build a finance function that operates efficiently, cost-effectively, and with minimal day-to-day oversight.

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant finance experience, with strong experience in FP&A, financial planning, and financial modeling.
• Proven experience working in startups, growth-stage companies, or venture-backed environments where ownership and adaptability are essential.
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, cash management, liquidity planning, and financial performance analysis.
• Experience managing external accounting, tax, audit, and other financial service providers.
• Ability to operate independently in a lean organization with limited structure and significant responsibility.
• Strong analytical and financial modeling capabilities, with the ability to turn complex financial information into practical business recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence partnering with senior leadership and external stakeholders.
• High ownership mentality, strong attention to detail, and a bias toward action and problem-solving.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution across day-to-day finance operations.
• Experience with treasury management is a plus.
• Experience in crypto, digital assets, or blockchain is a plus.
• Experience with legal entity restructuring, board reporting, investor reporting, or international organizations is advantageous.

Benefits

• Highly competitive base salary of $185,000–$220,000 USD.
• Flexible and remote work environment.
• 25 days of annual holiday plus bank holidays.
• Opportunity to work at the cutting edge of technology.
