Corporate Finance

Role Summary

We are seeking a sharp, execution-oriented Senior Finance Analyst in San Francisco, CA to own close, reporting, and modeling for our corporate finance function. This early role on the corporate finance team will play a pivotal role in building the FP&A foundation that supports a high-growth, consumption-based company.

This role will own the month-end close process, produce monthly and quarterly board reporting, run BvA and flux analysis for executive reviews, and play a key role in supporting our consolidated 3 statement modeling.

This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role for a finance professional who wants to operate at the center of a company’s financial story. You will work directly with finance leadership, Accounting, and cross-functional partners.

This role is ideal for a candidate who has 2-4 years of experience in investment banking, private equity / venture capital, public accounting, or corporate FP&A at a high-growth technology company. You should be expert-level in Excel and Google Sheets, comfortable building and maintaining complex financial models, and energized by the prospect of building something from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

Own the Monthly Close and Reporting Cadence

• Drive the monthly close process end-to-end, partnering closely with Accounting and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver timely, accurate, and decision-useful outputs

• Own monthly and quarterly reporting to the CFO and Board, translating financial results into clear narratives, key insights, and actionable takeaways.

• Lead variance analysis and management reporting, identifying the “why” behind results and helping drive performance discussions with the CFO and department leaders.

Maintain Our Financial Models and Reporting Infrastructure

• Support updates to the consolidated three-statement model, cash forecast, and long-range financial plan, ensuring leadership has a reliable view of runway, investment capacity, and growth trajectory.

• Partner with the People team to deliver accurate workforce reporting, headcount tracking, and hiring plan visibility.

• Support the implementation and ongoing administration of Pigment as our planning platform, helping build the systems foundation for a public-company-ready finance function.

Operate Effectively in a High-Growth, Pre-IPO Environment

• Bring structure and rigor to a finance function that is being built from the ground up.

• Identify gaps in process, reporting, systems, or data integrity, and drive practical, high-ROI improvements that make the finance organization faster and more reliable.

• Operate with a high degree of ownership and judgment in an environment where historical data is imperfect and processes are still evolving.

• Own ad hoc analysis for the CFO, finance leadership, and cross-functional partners.

What You’ll Bring
