  • Lead all accounting operations, including GL, AR/AP, payroll, revenue recognition, and equity accounting
  • Own and streamline the month-end close process for accuracy, speed, and audit readiness

  • Drive ASC 606 compliance, including AI-influenced pricing models and bundled offerings
  • Manage relationships with auditors, tax advisors, and external vendors
  • Implement and optimize finance tech stack (e.g., NetSuite, Bill, TriNet, Carta), with an eye toward automating the mundane and AI enablement
  • Support international expansion, intercompany transactions, and multi-currency consolidation
  • Partner with FP&A and Data teams to align revenue, margin, and spend tracking to operational metrics
  • Hire and mentor a lean team, scaling as the company grows

  • Transparent culture: With bi-weekly business updates, an open-door policy with the executive team, a fireside chat series with our board and other stakeholders, we make sure that everyone on the team has access to what’s going on throughout the company
  • Social & supportive environment: We work hard to ensure that Finite State is a fun, comfortable place to work no matter your background.
