Strategy & Finance Lead

Abode Money is the first financial manager for homeowners. We save homeowners money on property taxes, insurance, mortgage and more, every year. Our vision is to be the first to create an ongoing relationship with 80M+ homeowners.

Homeowners spend $2T+ a year on their homes with almost no help. We're the first and only company that can lower property taxes in all 50 states, and there's no better way into the homeowner relationship than the bill everyone hates.

Most consumer fintechs are building slightly better versions of products that already exist. We're using AI to turn work that has always been a service into software, and there has never been a better moment to do it.

We've raised $23M from Permanent, Drive, Sequoia, Core VC and 81 Collection.

We're hiring a Strategy & Finance Lead to work directly with the CEO. Your job is to take the hardest open strategic or financial question on the list and come back with a model, a recommendation, or a business.

You'll stand up new lines of business like a nationwide insurance brokerage, own CFO+ work like the budget and KPIs, and sit in board and investor conversations. The people who do this well go on to start something or run a function somewhere serious.

• Answer the Hardest Questions: Take the hardest unowned question on the list, model it out, and come back with a recommendation and a plan.

• Stand Up New Initiatives: Launch new lines of business from zero, run them until they're real, and hand them to a permanent owner.

• Own Finance Operations: Manage our outsourced controller, build the budget, and track actuals against projections.

• Manage Legal and Regulatory: Work with counsel on contracts, licensing, county and state relationships, and partner compliance diligence.

• Work Directly with the CEO: Operate as an extension of the CEO on whatever matters most that week, including board and investor material.

• In Austin or willing to relocate. We work in person 5 days a week.

• 8+ years of experience, with time in consulting, banking, or a similar analytical seat, plus operating experience at a startup

• Build and own a model, a budget, and a KPI pack yourself, using AI to move faster

• Reach for the data before the opinion and get to a defensible answer fast

• Are comfortable in legal and regulatory detail and know when to push

• Want to be a founder or run something of your own

We hire people who want to own their work outright.

• Take ownership. You get more autonomy here than almost anywhere else. Own the outcome, make the calls, and see it through.

• Move fast. Speed is our only advantage, so we ship first and refine after. Sometimes that means fixing things in the open, and we're fine with that.

• Dive deep. Go to the source. Pull the data, read the county code, call the assessor. The details are where we win.

• Be intellectually curious. Learn new domains fast and keep asking why. Now is the time to work smarter, and AI is how we do it.

• Go all in. We work hard and put in long hours because the window in front of us won't stay open forever. We're looking for people who want to do the same.
