Reporting directly to the CFO, you will help run day-to-day finance operations and support strategic initiatives that drive our growth.

·       Ad-hoc Projects: From fundraising support to audits to tooling—pitch in wherever needed.

What We're Looking For

·       3–6 years of experience in finance, accounting, or operations—ideally in a startup, SaaS, or high-growth environment.

·       Strong foundational knowledge of GAAP and accounting principles.

·       Experience with QuickBooks, Excel/Google Sheets, HRIS platforms and preferably financial modeling tools.

·       Demonstrated ability to independently manage tasks from end to end, spot gaps, and propose solutions.

·       Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in ambiguity.

·       Strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.
