- Support scenario modeling for hiring, pricing, and growth investments
- Translate strategy into financial trade-offs
2. Board & Investor Reporting
- Prepare board materials (financials, KPIs, variance analysis, cash runway)
- Present financial performance clearly and confidently
- Serve as a trusted thought partner to CEO and investors
- Support fundraising and investor diligence
3. Accounting Oversight & Close
- Manage outsourced accounting team
- Ensure timely and accurate monthly close
- Review financial statements and ensure GAAP compliance
- Own cash management and working capital oversight
- Strengthen internal controls as we scale
4. Operational Finance & Back Office
- Build scalable finance processes
- Oversee vendor management and expense controls
- Partner cross-functionally with GTM and product on pricing, unit economics, and margins
- Improve financial visibility across the business
5. Strategic Partner to the CEO
- Help prioritize investments and resource allocation
- Provide real-time financial insight for key decisions
- Act as a steady, analytical counterweight in a fast-moving environment
Requirements:

- Come from an FP&A / strategic finance background
- Have experience managing outsourced accounting or small finance teams
- Are comfortable owning board-level reporting
- Understand SaaS and/or fintech metrics deeply
- Are hands-on and comfortable building from scratch
- Can toggle between Excel detail and strategic narrative
