A high growth SaaS organization preparing for its next stage of scale is seeking a finance leader who combines strategic foresight with strong operational discipline. This is not a controller role - it is a true strategic finance partner to the CEO and board. The role will own forecasting, planning, investor readiness, and financial decision support, while ensuring core accounting, reporting, and controls remain well managed through a global team.
What You’ll Do
Partner directly with the CEO on strategic planning, forecasting, and board level reporting
Build financial models to support growth, investments, and scenario planning as the business scales (10 to 30 to 50M ARR)
Anticipate key questions from leadership and proactively surface insights, risks, and opportunities
Support future fundraising efforts, including modeling, diligence preparation, and investor communication
Oversee accounting, controllership, and FP&A activities across U.S. and India based teams (4–5 total)
Define, monitor, and improve key SaaS metrics — including G&A, GTM, R&D benchmarks, burn, runway, and unit economics
Drive operational rigor and data driven decision making across the organization
What You Bring
8+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally including investment banking, management consulting, or strategic finance
Experience within a startup or scale-up environment
Strong command of SaaS metrics, ARR forecasting, and board/investor reporting
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
Bonus: CPA or accounting/controller background
Clear written communication skills and comfort in a structured writing culture
