About the role

So far we've run finance out of spreadsheets, outsourced bookkeeping, and founder intuition.
You'll move between boardroom-level strategy and the operational plumbing in the same afternoon, and you'll bring the financial rigor that lets us make sharp, fast decisions as we scale.

Build the finance function from scratch: Stand up FP&A, accounting, treasury, and controls. Choose the tools, design the processes, and decide what to keep in-house vs. outsource - then run it.
Manage cash and runway: Own cash flow forecasting, burn, and runway. Give the founders an always-accurate picture of how much time and room we have to maneuver.
Run accounting, close, and controls: Own the monthly close, the books, and the relationship with outsourced accounting/tax partners - and build toward bringing the right pieces in-house as we grow.
Partner on the next raise: Build the board and investor materials, own the data room and diligence, and be a trusted partner to the founders through fundraising and strategic decisions.
Build the team: As the function grows, hire and mentor the finance and accounting team behind you.
Have 9+ years across strategic finance, FP&A, and/or accounting - including time at a high-growth startup - and have either been the senior-most finance person or a strong #2 ready to step up and own it.
Are data-literate - comfortable getting your own answers from the data (SQL or BI a strong plus) rather than waiting to be handed a report.
You bias toward action, communicate proactively, and own outcomes end-to-end.
Been a core finance partner through a fundraise (Seed → A → B).

Used Comfy or have real familiarity with AI creative tools.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have built things 0→1: a model, a planning process, or a finance function from a blank page, not just maintained someone else's.
Are an exceptional modeler who can move from a clean three-statement model to a back-of-envelope answer in a Slack thread without losing rigor.
