Responsibilities
- Own the long-range plan, annual operating plan, and rolling forecasts; align spend with growth priorities and capital efficiency
- Run a disciplined operating cadence (weekly/monthly business reviews) with KPIs including ARR/NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, LTV/CAC, magic number, cash runway, and hiring vs. plan

- Oversee multi-entity consolidations, state/local tax, and global expansion mechanics (entity setup, transfer pricing)
- Own the finance stack: implement and integrate core systems for accounting, billing, customer/CRM data, and analytics so information moves cleanly from deal to invoice to revenue to forecast
- Establish data governance (system-of-records, KPI lineage, access controls) to ensure single-source-of-truth reporting
- Co-own pricing & packaging with Product/GTM; set deal guardrails, discount frameworks, and approvals to protect margin

- Maintain a standardized package covering financial statements, SOC 2/ISO attestations, BCP/DR, data residency, sub-processor lists, insurance, and penetration-test summaries
- Drive contract standards aligned with FI expectations: security/privacy annexes, audit rights, SLAs, breach/BCP obligations, subcontractor controls, termination assistance, and right-to-assess
- Partner with Security / Legal to maintain SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, GLBA/FFIEC-aligned policies, incident-response economics, and vendor-security questionnaire readiness
- Oversee the budget and finance controls that support compliance posture without sacrificing velocity
- Own financial oversight of BCP/DR testing, RTO/RPO commitments, supplier redundancy, and tabletop exercises
- Maintain insurance portfolio (E&O, cyber, D&O, general liability) with limits aligned to contractual requirements
- Implement a pragmatic internal-controls framework (approval matrices, vendor onboarding, revenue policies, access/SOD, change management)
- Stand up Audit/Finance Committee cadence and pre-SOX discipline to prepare for later-stage scale
- Build and mentor a high-performing team across Accounting, FP&A, and Finance Ops; attract and develop talent ahead of need
- Optionally steward People/HR ops in partnership with the People leader (comp/benefits/ESPP, headcount plan governance) as the company scales
