Job description

Head Of Finance

At Ethyca, we're engineering trust for humanity. We believe that by building Fides, the operating system for Data Privacy & AI Governance we can solve the world's most critical and challenging problems of trust and safety in data and AI driven enterprise on behalf of every person. We partner with the most important institutions in the world to transform the safety, trust and integrity of their data and technology systems. Our software has been used to power the safety and privacy of millions of users globally.

The Role

Ethyca is hiring a Head of Finance to build the financial foundation required to scale the company past $100M ARR. This role replaces our external finance partner and brings all core accounting, forecasting, controls, and investor reporting in-house. This is a hands-on leadership role : you will own every aspect of Ethyca's financial operations - from bookkeeping and monthly close to FP&A, and board reporting - while shaping the financial strategy that enables Ethyca's next stage of growth. You will work directly with the CEO and Operations to create rigorous financial discipline, ensure we operate with accuracy and transparency, and provide the insight needed to make fast, confident decisions in a high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

The Head of Finance at Ethyca operates with the precision and leadership of an early-stage CFO. You will :

Financial Operations & Accounting

  • Own all bookkeeping, payroll accounting, A / P, A / R, journal entries, and reconciliations.
  • Take complete ownership of all aspects of financial operations within the first quarter.
  • Maintain clean balance sheets and P&Ls, reviewed monthly with the CEO.

Forecasting & Strategic Finance

  • Own and strengthen Ethyca's long-term financial model, including ARR, CARR, cashflow, headcount, and expense projections.
  • Build a rolling 12-month forecast and implement a disciplined FP&A cadence across the business.
  • Conduct scenario planning to guide hiring, GTM strategy, pricing, and product investment decisions.
  • Investor & Board Reporting

  • Deliver quarterly investor updates, board reporting packages, and KPI dashboards without external support.
  • Partner with the CEO on fundraising strategy, due diligence materials, and financial storytelling.
  • Controls, Compliance & Infrastructure

  • Implement scalable financial systems across QuickBooks, Rippling, Ramp, and BILL.
  • Establish internal controls, revenue and expense policies, and audit-ready documentation.
  • Ensure GAAP-compliant accounting and high-trust governance across all financial practices.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Operations leaders to ensure financial alignment with company strategy.
  • Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-finance executives.
  • Support company-wide planning related to hiring, cost structure, EU expansion, and AI-driven operational efficiency.
  • You May Be A Good Fit If...

  • You have significant experience owning finance end-to-end at an early-stage or growth-stage technology company.
  • You've independently led accounting, forecasting, and financial strategy without external providers.
  • You're fluent in GAAP, accrual accounting, FP&A, monthly close cycles, and SaaS metrics.
  • You've built or significantly improved financial models used for board-level decisions.
  • You have exceptional attention to detail and treat financial accuracy as core infrastructure.
  • You're comfortable operating as a team of one initially and scaling systems before scaling headcount.
  • You have strong executive presence and the ability to communicate financial insights clearly.
  • You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and can build structure from zero.
  • You demonstrate trust, integrity, optimism, and a commitment to excellence - core Ethyca values.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • 100% medical and dental insurance for you and your dependent(s)
  • Remote-first work and flexible time off
  • Sponsored company lunches and events
  • Parental leave and 401(k) plan
  • Our benefits aim to promote health and wellbeing across all areas of Ethycans' lives. We continuously refine our offerings based on the needs of our team.

    Life At Ethyca

    We want every Ethycan to achieve their best outcomes, that's why we celebrate individuals' strengths, skills, and interests, from your first interview to your longterm growth, rather than rely on traditional career ladders. Ethyca is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and remote workers across the US. In keeping with Ethyca's values and culture, we believe employees "share the work" as one team, and in-person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. Therefore we encourage Product Managers to work from our offices to foster excellence in innovation and outcomes for our clients. Preference will be given to candidates who are able to come into the office, located in midtown Manhattan, at least 2 days a week.

    We're a Data Privacy and AI Governance company building a missing piece of the Internet's infrastructure : the operating system for governance that empowers users and businesses to manage data respectfully. Every day, Ethycans tackle one of the world's most challenging problems - how to make data and AI driven technology safer for humanity - and thinking about the future of human rights as society increasingly moves online. If this sounds intriguing and you're excited to shape that future with us, we'd want to speak with you.

    Ethyca is committed to promoting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We believe that all Ethycans share the responsibility of upholding our commitment to these values and encourage candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences to join us in solving the world's hardest problems. Ethyca does not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics. Please see the United States Department of Labor's EEO poster, EEO poster supplement and Pay Transparency Notice for additional information.

    Compensation Range : $190,000 $225,000 / year (depending on experience)
