  • Design and lead Finance and Accounting’s annual and quarterly planning, operating cadences, and reporting cycles.
  • Partner with the CFO to manage the Finance and Accounting leadership team’s operating cadence , ensuring time is spent effectively on top priorities.
  • Finance Operations & Special Projects

  • Lead initiatives to reduce the number of days to close the books, driving speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
  • Partner with Accounting, FP&A, and Billing Operations to streamline processes and implement best practices.
  • Drive special projects on behalf of the CFO, from cost optimization, finance org design to systems upgrades.
  • Support public company readiness initiatives, including reporting, controls, and process enhancements.
  • Champion a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
  • Systems, Process, & AI Enablement

  • Drive process improvements and automation initiatives that enhance accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.
  • Partner with Finance leadership to ensure we have the systems and processes needed to successfully scale .
  • Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of AI tools and automation that drive efficiency and free up Finance team members for higher-value work.
  • Act as a change leader, ensuring successful rollout, adoption, and measurable impact of new tools and workflows.
  • Executive Partnership

  • Serve as a thought partner to the CFO in setting strategic priorities and operational plans.
  • Coordinate and prepare financial communications for the CFO, including executive briefings, board materials, and investor updates.
  • Serve as a trusted right hand to the CFO , aligning on Finance priorities and ensuring follow-through.
  • Represent the CFO and Finance team in meetings, capturing outcomes, driving accountability, and escalating blockers.
  • Maintain a pulse on team dynamics, surfacing risks and opportunities with clear recommendations.
  • Act as the connective tissue between Finance strategy, execution, and communication.
  • Serve as the cross-functional liaison between Finance and other departments (e.g., Legal, People, IT etc).
  • What You’ll Bring -

  • 12+ years of experience in Finance, Strategy, Operations, or Chief of Staff roles.
  • Track record of improving Finance operational excellence, including faster close processes, scalable systems, and operational rigor.
  • Exceptional program and project management skills, with demonstrated ability to drive accountability and results.
  • Strong understanding of finance team operating models, team structures and planning processes.
  • Experience with public company readiness or operating in a US public company environment (IPO experience a plus).
  • Strong communication skills — able to represent the CFO effectively and distill complexity into clarity.
  • Executive presence combined with a willingness to get into the details.
  • Strong analytical ability — you use data to identify opportunities, measure progress, and influence decisions.
  • Thrives in ambiguity and excels at creating structure and focus.
  • Curious about AI and automation tools and eager to apply them to improve Finance operations.
  • Bias towards action and ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on problem-solving.
