About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the financial model and forecast; turn revenue trajectory into a plan the company runs against and a model the board trusts
  • Run board and investor reporting: monthly metrics, quarterly board materials, and the financial narrative behind both
  • Own unit economics and pricing analysis (ARPU, gross margin, payback, economics of new lines like benefits brokerage and in-house payroll rails)
  • Partner on capital allocation: where the Series B goes, how to think about burn and runway, and the return on big bets like replacing the money-movement vendor
  • Build the finance function: hire and lead the controller and ops side; own relationships with wealth, banking, accounting partners, and auditors
  • Be the financial backbone of the next fundraise

Requirements

  • 5+ years in finance, including ownership of FP&A and board reporting at a high-growth startup
  • Deep FP&A and strategic finance ability; can build a model from scratch and defend all assumptions to a board
  • Fluent in SaaS metrics, and ideally fintech or payments economics (float, money movement, multi-product ARPU)
  • Partnered directly with a founder or CEO to make decisions and build
  • Hands-on now, team-builder later; no task is beneath leadership at this stage

Nice to Have

  • Experience in payroll, payments, insurance, or another regulated money-moving business
  • Helped run a priced fundraise

Benefits

  • 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents
  • 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one
