VP of Finance

What You'll do

Financial Planning & Strategy

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the COO and CEO — bringing a financial lens to company-level decisions on market positioning, competitive strategy, pricing, geographic expansion, and capital allocation
• Co-own the company’s long-range strategic plan alongside executive leadership, shaping not just the financial expression of strategy but the strategy itself
• Identify the financial and operational levers that drive sustainable growth, and advocate for resource allocation decisions that reflect Teleport’s most important strategic bets
• Own the annual planning and quarterly forecasting cycles, delivering accurate, driver-based financial models across revenue, cost, and headcount
• Lead scenario analysis and sensitivity modeling to pressure-test strategic options and support key investment decisions
• Translate financial data into clear, actionable insights for the COO, CEO, and Board of Directors by connecting day-to-day performance to long-term strategic goals

Accounting & Controls

• Oversee all accounting operations including monthly close, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and financial statement preparation
• Maintain and strengthen internal controls, ensuring compliance with US GAAP and audit readiness
• Manage relationships with external auditors and tax advisors

Board & Investor Reporting

• Prepare board-level financial packages, investor updates, and management reporting with clarity and precision
• Support fundraising, debt financing, and M&A diligence processes as needed
• Develop the financial narrative for investors and analysts, underpinned by robust SaaS metrics

Business Partnering

• Partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and People leaders to drive financial accountability across the business
• Own financial metrics and provide regular performance analyses
• Support revenue operations, pricing strategy, and go-to-market financial planning

Team & Systems Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing finance team including FP&A, accounting, and revenue operations
• Drive the selection, implementation, and optimization of financial systems and tools (ERP, FP&A platforms, billing infrastructure)
• Build scalable, automated financial processes that support rapid growth and eventual public-company readiness
• Champion and model the use of AI and modern technology tools — actively embedding automation, AI-assisted analysis, and intelligent workflows into finance operations to move faster, reduce manual work, and raise the quality of output
• Set the standard for technology fluency on the finance team: encourage experimentation with tools like Claude and other AI systems for modeling, reporting, and documentation, and create space for the team to share what works

What We're Looking For

• 18+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, with significant time as VP of Finance, CFO, or equivalent senior finance executive
• Proven record of success at a high-growth B2B Cybersecurity, SaaS or infrastructure technology company; open-source or developer-tools experience is a meaningful plus
• Strong command of GAAP accounting, SaaS financial metrics, financial controls, and audit processes
• Demonstrated experience supporting a company through key inflection points — Series C+, late-stage private, or IPO preparation
• Outstanding communication skills — able to present complex financial matters to executive teams, boards, and investors with confidence and clarity
• Proven ability to build and lead high-performing, geographically distributed finance teams
• Hands-on experience evaluating, selecting, and scaling financial systems (NetSuite, Workday, Adaptive Insights, or comparable platforms)
• Collaborative, data-driven decision-maker who thrives in a fast-moving, distributed environment

Nice to have

• CPA, CFA, or MBA from a leading program
• Experience taking a company through late stage private funding stages and IPO
