About this role

We’re looking for an early-career Financial Operations Associate to help us build and scale the financial backbone of our business. This role sits at the intersection of Finance and Operations - with responsibility for payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and the analytics that inform critical business decisions.

You’ll own execution on day-to-day processes while also shaping how our financial operations evolve as we scale. This is an opportunity for someone with strong analytical chops and a bias toward action who’s ready to grow into a strategic operator. Someone who wants to become a COO/ CFO someday.

What You’ll Do

- Build the Finance Machine

Run payroll processes end-to-end, including contractor and FTE payments.
- Work with tools like Deel to simplify and streamline payroll for both domestic and international teams.
- Manage and improve AP/AR processes for a B2C/ B2B environment.
- Identify inefficiencies and implement better systems to ensure timely payments and collections.

- Provide Strategic Direction to Growth, Operations, and Engineering

Partner with executives on building out financial operations functions.
- Contribute to financial planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling.
- Bring a business-minded lens to financial data — ensuring decisions tie back to growth and sustainability.

- Drive Financial Analytics & Reporting

Analyze data on cost of labor, COGS, and other key financial drivers.
- Provide insights that inform operational and strategic decision-making.
- Partner with executives to prepare board and investor information

What We’re Looking For

- 3–7 years of professional experience in financial operations, accounting, or related roles.
- You’re incredibly structured and organized, you love MECE frameworks
- You like executing and getting your hands dirty (instead of spending 3 weeks “ideating”)
- Strong analytical and data skills; comfortable working with financial models and reporting.
- Demonstrated ability to execute quickly and accurately while improving processes.
- Business acumen and interest in scaling startups.
- Strong stakeholder management
- Bonus: familiarity with workforce/payroll tools (Rippling, Workday, Deel, etc).
- Bonus: experience with AP/AR, payroll, and contractor/FTE management.
- Bonus: experience with financial planning or FP&A.

Why Join Us

- Be part of a small, high-impact team where your work directly shapes the company’s growth.
- Gain exposure to both operational execution and strategic finance.
- Work alongside executives and founders, with mentorship and growth opportunities into senior finance/ops roles.
