  • You will be the expert in planning, reporting, and modeling financials to support strategic decision-making across the company.

Requirements

  • You have prepared a company for and successfully led it through a meaningful external audit - including working papers, technical accounting memos, and auditor management.

Benefits

  • Build, lead, and scale a high-performing finance and accounting function responsible for driving capital efficiency and long-term financial health.
  • Evaluate and execute equity, venture debt, and non-dilutive capital options, and support the CEO on any M&A activity, including diligence, valuation, modeling, and integration.
  • Own the finance tech stack - ERP, billing, expense, equity, BI - and the processes (procurement, contracting, order-to-cash) required to scale to a $50M+ ARR business.
