About the role
What You'll Do
- Own the finance function. Accounting, controllership, FP&A, treasury, tax, audit prep. Day one, you're the most senior finance person in the building.
- Make the accounting call. We're currently outsourced. Decide whether to bring it in-house, when, and at what scope. Hire the team if so.
- Build the FP&A model. Headcount, burn, revenue forecast, scenario planning. The model that actually drives hiring decisions and investor conversations.
- Own usage-based revenue accuracy. Our pricing meters compute, sandbox-time, and other usage signals. The data flowing from product telemetry to invoices to revenue recognition has to be airtight. You'll partner with engineering on instrumentation and with sales on contract structure to make sure invoiced revenue matches recognized revenue matches reported revenue.
- Run the close. Monthly close, quarterly board package, annual audit. Get us to a defensible close cadence and keep us there.
- Own investor relations operationally. Cap table maintenance, 409A valuations, equity grant administration, data room management. Partner with Vasek on next-round materials.
- Negotiate enterprise contracts on the financial terms. Payment terms, MDF, custom commercial structures, prepaid credits, multi-year deals. You'll be the partner Sales calls when the deal needs creative structure.
- Build the bench as we scale. First a controller or senior accountant, eventually FP&A and finance ops layers underneath.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years in finance, with at least 3 years as the most senior finance person at a venture-backed B2B SaaS company. You've already done this job at our stage somewhere else.
- Direct experience with usage-based or consumption pricing. You've worked at a company where revenue is metered, not flat-rate. You know the gnarly parts: metering reconciliation, customer credits, prepaid commits, ramp deals, true-ups.
- Comfortable as the first finance hire. You're hands-on. You will personally close the books for at least the first quarter.
- Investor relations capability. You can walk into a partner meeting, speak to the model in detail, and answer the hard question without flinching. Prior fundraise experience required.
- CPA or equivalent technical foundation. You can defend ASC 606, you understand SaaS metrics math, and you don't need to outsource technical accounting questions to figure out what's right.
- Excited to work in person from San Francisco.
Nice-to-Have
- VC or investment banking background before going operator.
- Experience scaling a finance org through company hypergrowth. You know what scale looks like and what to build now to make it easier.
- Multi-entity experience (US + EU). We have offices in San Francisco and Prague.
- Familiarity with Stripe metering, custom invoicing systems, or consumption billing platforms (Metronome, Orb, etc.).
