What the job involves

• Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is a small, high-leverage group that builds the systems keeping the company running smoothly behind the scenes
• We cover a wide range of areas — finance and accounting, sales operations, legal operations, compliance, and account management — but we treat them all as flavors of operations
• Whatever the task, we take a systems-driven approach — design it, build it, and run it (ideally, automatically). Our goal is to free the rest of the company to focus on building great software
• We’re looking to add a strong generalist who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and enjoys bringing order to complexity
• You’ll work across functions, manage external partners, and help us build and run the systems that keep Metabase operating efficiently as we grow
• This particular role will focus on our financial operations — managing the month-end close with external accountants, supporting tax and audit processes, and improving the systems that keep our books and billing accurate
• You’ll have meaningful exposure to the financial management of a growing company and plenty of opportunities to design better, smarter ways of doing things as we scale
• Own and operate the day-to-day processes that keep our financial operations running smoothly
• Manage the month-end close process with our external accountants
• Support annual financial audits and coordinate deliverables with our auditors
• Prepare data and track progress for tax filings across multiple jurisdictions
• Maintain financial data hygiene
• Own our payments and expense management systems
• Lead cross-functional projects to solve operational problems as they arise
• Identify opportunities to streamline or automate recurring workflows
• Jump in to help with other operational areas when needed — we’re a small team, and we all pitch in
