Job description

About Finch

We believe every American household deserves access to counsel in life’s biggest moments. At Finch, we’re building the infrastructure to make justice radically more accessible. Our modern approach to consumer law automates the admin work and puts clients first, starting with personal injury. In just over a year, we've grown 10x, raised a $20M Series A, and become the pre-litigation partner of choice for top personal injury firms across the country. We believe the best outcomes happen when expert operators and purpose‑built AI work together – which is why we handle every step of pre‑lit, from intake and claim opening to medical records, lien management, and demands, with humans leading every case. We’re backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of generational companies like DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits. We’re rebuilding how the law serves everyday Americans from first principles, and we’re hiring exceptional operators to help us scale it nationwide.

Note from Alex

Hi! I’m Alex, Chief of Staff @ Finch. Part of my role since I joined Finch has been maintaining our financial infrastructure and adding complexities. As we continue to grow quickly and prep for major scale, we’re excited to bring on our first Finance hire. We’re post-Series A now, which means debt strategy, credit decisions, and real forecasting aren’t optional side quests. Within your first 90 days, you’ll own invoicing, banking, and cash/investment decisions. You’ll run a full forecasting cycle alongside our CEO, and you’ll become the person in the room who challenges how we spend/invest, not just the person who reports on it afterward. You’ll report into our CEO, and build the function from the ground up, at a company that moves uncomfortably fast. If that sounds exciting rather than exhausting, we’d love to meet you.

This Role

Finch is post-Series A, and the finance decisions in front of us (debt strategy, credit facilities, real forecasting) are no longer things a founder can handle on the side. You’ll be the first functional Finance leader at the company, working directly with our founders to build the financial infrastructure a company at this stage actually needs. The people relying on your work are the founders, the board, and every team whose plans depend on knowing how to reasonably invest in our growth.
