The Role

We are seeking a strategic, hands-on VP, Finance to join our leadership team at a pivotal stage of growth. As a venture-backed Series B company, we are scaling rapidly — expanding our team, refining our go-to-market engine, and building operational foundations for long-term success.

The VP, Finance will serve as both a strategic thought partner to the CEO and executive team, as well as architect of a world-class finance organization. This is an ideal role for a finance leader looking to build a scalable finance function and grow into a CFO-level position as the business scales.

What You'll Do
Executive Leadership & Strategic Partnership
  • Shape company strategy through a financial lens alongside the CEO and executive team

  • Drive data-informed decision-making across Product, Engineering, GTM, People, and Operations teams

  • Translate complex financial data into clear insights guiding investment, headcount, pricing, and resource allocation

  • Own financial readouts to board and investors

Financial Planning & Capital Strategy
  • Lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning

  • Develop financial models supporting growth initiatives, M&A evaluation, and capital allocation

  • Partner with CEO on fundraising strategy and investor diligence

  • Monitor key financial metrics (ARR, CAC, LTV, burn, Magic Number, Credit Burndown) for sustainable scaling

  • Manage treasury function, banking relationships, and working capital optimization

Build & Scale the Finance Organization
  • Recruit and develop a top-tier finance and accounting team

  • Design organizational structure that scales with company growth and complexity

  • Develop future finance leaders and foster culture of continuous learning

Finance Systems, Processes & Infrastructure
  • Design and implement scalable financial systems, reporting tools, and processes for Series B+ environments

  • Drive automation and operational efficiencies across billing, revenue recognition, reporting, and planning

  • Build data governance and integrate finance systems with company-wide infrastructure

  • Establish internal controls and compliance frameworks for Series C, international expansion, and IPO readiness

Accounting, Risk & Governance
  • Oversee all accounting operations: general ledger, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, and close processes

  • Ensure accurate, timely financial reporting in accordance with GAAP

  • Develop enterprise risk management framework and governance structures

  • Manage audit processes and external accounting relationships

What We're Looking For
  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, with significant time in venture-backed, high-growth startups (Series A–C preferred)

  • Proven track record of building and scaling high-performing finance and accounting teams with career development pathways

  • Deep expertise in financial planning, forecasting, and growth modeling in scaling companies

  • Strong understanding of AI credits-based and recurring revenue business models and unit economics

  • Experience partnering with executive teams, presenting to boards and investors

  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement scalable financial systems, processes, and infrastructure

  • Strong accounting foundation with expertise in revenue recognition, internal controls, and financial operations

  • Highly analytical with ability to simplify complexity, influence cross-functional teams, and communicate to non-financial audiences

  • Hands-on, low-ego leader comfortable operating strategically and tactically with genuine interest in developing others

As a Plus
  • Experience leading finance through Series C or later-stage fundraising

  • Banking relationship management and treasury function experience

  • Exposure to IPO readiness, SEC reporting, or international finance operations

  • Familiarity with modern fintech solutions, data analytics platforms, and RPA/automation in finance

  • CPA and/or MBA highly preferred
