Job description

Your role

As the Head of Finance at Turnkey, you will own and lead the finance function end‑to‑end, partnering closely with the COO, CEO, and executive team to ensure the company’s financial foundation scales with the business. You will be the senior financial leader responsible for building durable, audit‑ready systems while also acting as a strategic thought partner—translating complex financial realities into clear guidance for decision‑making.

This is a hands‑on builder role for a seasoned operator who is excited to design finance for a fast‑growing, usage‑based infrastructure company. You’ll balance rigor with speed, bringing structure where it matters most while enabling Turnkey to move quickly, invest confidently, and grow responsibly.

What you’ll do

• Own the end‑to‑end finance function at Turnkey, including accounting, FP&A, tax, audit, and compliance
• Build and formalize controllership processes appropriate for a venture‑backed company
• Oversee and optimize relationships with outsourced accounting, tax, audit, and advisory partners
• Manage and mentor existing finance talent, including a strong FP&A / strategic finance lead
• Own budgeting, forecasting, and operating models, translating financial data into business insights
• Maintain financial governance, controls, and audit readiness as the company scales
• Oversee Turnkey’s usage‑based billing and invoicing infrastructure, partnering with Product and Engineering
• Evaluate, implement, and improve finance systems and tooling (ERP, billing, reporting)
• Anticipate future needs related to compliance, tax, and financial risk — and proactively prepare for them

What we’re looking for

• Prior experience leading finance at a Series C or later‑stage startup or scaleup
• Strong background in controllership and operational finance (hands‑on or closely adjacent)
• Experience managing audits, tax strategy, and regulatory requirements
• Comfort operating in complex billing environments; usage‑based or consumption models strongly preferred
• Track record of building or modernizing finance processes and systems
• Ability to operate both strategically and tactically in a fast‑moving environment
• High judgment, attention to detail, and comfort navigating ambiguity

Style points

• Experience with usage‑based or consumption‑based billing models
• Exposure to crypto, fintech, infrastructure, or security‑focused businesses
• Experience scaling finance teams and mentoring senior finance talent
• Familiarity with modern finance tooling and automation

What we offer

• Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA/FSA, 401(k) — detailed benefits overview available as we progress in the process
• Paid parental leave
• Unlimited PTO
• $3,000/yr learning and development budget to attend industry conferences
• Multiple team offsites per year
• MacBook Pro laptop
• Lunch stipend
