Responsibilities

• Month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close. You manage it end-to-end, with accuracy and without drama
• Outsourced bookkeeping oversight. One FTE + external firm. You set the standards, review the work, and make sure nothing falls through
• Management reporting packages for leadership and the board. Clear, useful, on time
• Accounting policies, internal controls, and compliance. You own the integrity of the financial record
• Payroll processing in partnership with HR. Accurate and on schedule
• Treasury and cash management. Positioning, bank relationships, liquidity forecasting
• Annual budget, quarterly forecasts, long-range planning. You lead the process and make it useful — not a compliance exercise
• Financial models for scenario planning, headcount, and revenue projections. Built to be understood, not just to be impressive
• Department-level budget partnership. You track spend, surface insights, and give leaders the information they need to make good decisions
• Board and investor materials. Variance analysis, KPI dashboards, narratives that hold up to scrutiny
• SaaS financial metrics. ARR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, payback period. You own them, you can explain them, and you built the model from scratch
• AI credits and consumption-based revenue accounting. Cost allocation, margin analysis, the stuff that doesn't fit neatly into a standard SaaS framework
• Revenue recognition in line with ASC 606. Built right, not bolted on
• Unit economics. You track them as we scale, and you help the business understand what they mean
• Finance tech stack ownership. Accounting software, billing, reporting tools. You improve what's there and replace what isn't working
• Process improvements. You find the inefficiencies and fix them
• Audit, tax, and regulatory support. When the time comes, you're ready
• Sales tax compliance. Nexus monitoring and filings across jurisdictions

Skills

• 10+ years in finance, spanning controller and/or FP&A work. You've done both, not just one
• Startup experience. You've built processes from scratch in a fast-moving company. You know what that actually requires
• Strong SaaS metrics command. You can build and explain them from scratch — not just pull them from a dashboard someone else built
• Hands-on operator. You're comfortable doing the work yourself, not just directing others. That's a requirement, not a preference
• Outsourced accounting experience. You know how to work with an external bookkeeping firm and make that relationship work
• Financial modeling fluency. Budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, scenario planning. You do this in your sleep
• Accounting software proficiency. QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar. Excel and Google Sheets at a high level
• Clear communicator. You can translate complex financial information for non-finance audiences without dumbing it down
• CPA or MBA
• Prior experience as a Controller
• Familiarity with AI credits, usage-based billing, or consumption-based revenue models
• Experience supporting a finance function through a corporate transaction or integration
• Familiarity with ASC 606 revenue recognition in a SaaS context
• Prior experience as a solo or near-solo finance leader at a company under 50 people

Benefits

• A real seat at the table. Direct access to the CFO and leadership team. Your work shapes decisions.
• Outsized impact. In a lean team, there's nowhere to hide — and nowhere to plateau.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Flexibility in how and where you work. Remote-friendly with the autonomy that implies.
