Director of Finance and Business Operations

Finario is a fast-growing, profitable SaaS company providing intelligent capital planning and portfolio strategy solutions to leading industrial enterprises worldwide. A few numbers worth knowing:

• Revenue is strong and accelerating.  Real sustainable growth, not a story built on burn rate

• Purpose-built product:  Finario is one of the first platforms built specifically for enterprise Capex.  True specialist focus in one category

• Trusted by billion-dollar enterprises: Notable clients include Amway, Bausch Lomb, and Sephora; all run their capital planning on Finario 

• Investing in innovation: Finario has built its own purpose-built AI (Finario Predict) for capital project forecasting and benchmarking, so you'd be joining a product team that's actively pushing the category forward, not maintaining a legacy tool

• High-stakes work: this is core infrastructure for finance and ops leaders, not a nice-to-have.  Our platform directly shapes how enterprises decide where to put hundreds of millions of dollars in capital investment 

About the role

This is a right-hand operator role for the founder of Finario.  You'll be the only person running commercial finance, accounting, office operations  and special projects- handling the day-to-day of the business so the founder can stay focused on customers, product, and growth.

If you've been the sole finance and operations person at a small services or technology company before and genuinely enjoyed the breadth and ownership, this is the role you've been looking for. If you want to build a finance department, manage a team of analysts, or work on capital raises and VC reporting, this isn't the role for you, and that's fine.  

What you'll actually do

Day-to-day, hands-on:

• Produce monthly financial reporting for the founder

• Run the books in QuickBooks Online yourself including  A/P, A/R, journal entries, monthly close

• Trigger and reconcile payroll (we use a PEO)

• Manage cash, expenses, and vendor payments

• Handle sales tax compliance and coordinate with our outside CPA on tax filings

• Keep the office and business operations running smoothly

Periodically, with judgement:

• Help structure pricing and contract terms on enterprise customer software deals

• Lead vendor sourcing and renegotiation projects- insurance, software, services, banking

• Take on whatever special projects come up: system selections, process improvements, ad hoc analysis

Required Qualifications

• Someone who's been the only finance/operations person at a smaller company and loved it

• 4 years in in hands-on accounting 

• Experience using  QuickBooks Online (you use it yourself rather than delegate it) 

• Good commercial judgment - you've seen vendor contracts, pricing models, and customer agreements before

• Experience and detail-oriented but pragmatic about the 80/20 in a growing company

• Comfortable being the only person in your function, this is an high value IC position, not looking for someone to manage a team

• Bachelor's Degree

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience in enterprise technology firms;  B2B SaaS even better

What’s in it for you

• Direct, high-visibility partnership with Finario's founder- this isn't a role buried three layers into an org chart, it's a seat where your work on how the business runs gets seen and acted on 

• Competitive total rewards package 

• The little things matter: Fully funded parking (or hop the train, we're right across the street), fully stocked kitchen, stunning modern office space
