Job Summary :

  • Lead the selection and implementation of enterprise-grade financial software (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, or QuickBooks Advanced) and internal reporting frameworks.
  • Collaborate directly with leadership to analyze P&L performance, forecast earnings, support pricing strategy, and steer capital allocation.
  • Handle cross-border finance coordination , including transfer pricing policy, intercompany accounting, and multi-currency consolidation with the UK head office.
  • Serve as the lead liaison for external auditors, banks, investors, and M&A due diligence partners.
  • Deliver real-time financial dashboards, monthly board-ready financial packages, and executive-level insights.
  • Advise on company structuring, funding options, tax optimization strategies, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Qualifications and Experience :

  • 10+ years of progressive finance experience , with 5+ years in a senior leadership capacity at a multinational company , digital agency, or high-growth professional services firm.
  • CPA (Certified Public Accountant) required. MBA in Finance, CFA designation, or Big Four background is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience establishing finance operations in the U.S. for a foreign entity or startup entering a regulated market.
  • Deep expertise in U.S. GAAP, ASC 606 revenue recognition, Sarbanes-Oxley principles , and compliance with multi-state tax and labor regulations.
  • Proven success in building financial teams , implementing enterprise accounting systems, and optimizing cash burn and unit economics.
  • Advanced skills in financial modeling, scenario planning, and KPI analysis with Excel, Power BI, or Tableau .
  • Experience managing international banking , currency risk exposure, and intercompany reconciliation.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with experience advising executive leadership and boards.
  • Strong business acumen, risk management capabilities, and a track record of supporting strategic growth and fundraising initiatives .
  • Must be based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco . U.S. work authorization is required.
  • Application Process :

    If you're a finance leader who thrives in complexity, builds systems that scale, and brings rigor to every line item, we want to hear from you. Apply by filling out the form on the right.

    Submit a detailed resume and a cover letter outlining your experience establishing financial operations, leading compliance in the U.S., and supporting high-growth business environments. Finalists will be invited to complete a financial strategy case study and panel interview with our executive team.
