## Responsibilities

### FP&A
- Own company-wide forecasting, budgeting, and scenario modeling, including cash runway, burn rate, headcount costs, and SaaS unit economics such as ARR, GRR, NRR, CAC payback, LTV, gross margin, and burn multiple.

- Handle ad hoc data requests from investors.
- Build models and materials for capital raises and investor diligence.

### Financial Operations and Systems
- Own the finance stack, including the general ledger, spend platform, billing, month-end close process, and integrations across Rippling, Ramp, and HubSpot.
- Build scalable systems and processes.
- Determine which functions remain outsourced and which move in-house, and build the team as needed.

### Cash and Runway Management
- Own runway targets and working-capital execution, including collections, billing terms, deferred revenue mechanics, and seasonal cash troughs.
- Identify risks and opportunities affecting runway or burn.
- Partner with the executive team on hiring, spending, and pricing decisions.

### Accounting and Compliance
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, including oversight of outsourced accounting execution.
- Determine and defend GAAP treatment through documented memos, including ASC 606 revenue recognition, deferred revenue, capitalized R&D, accruals, stock compensation, and ASC 842.
- Maintain compliance and audit readiness.

### Deal and Pricing Support

- Assess deal costs and value.

## Requirements
- Strong finance leadership experience with prior ownership and development of the finance function.
- Experience building or scaling finance teams within a SaaS company, ideally across multiple stages of growth.
- Direct ownership of board and investor reporting.
- Experience building financial systems and processes from an early-stage environment into scalable operations.
- Comfortable working hands-on in modeling, book closing, and financial analysis while operating in a lean, fast-moving company.
- Strong understanding of SaaS unit economics.
