What this actually is

Most finance roles are either accounting or FP&A. This one is both — and that’s the point. edisyl needs someone who gets genuinely curious about the details of a close, cares whether the numbers are right at the transaction level, and also wakes up thinking about the shape of the business. Controller skills to make sure the past is right; FP&A skills to make sure we are looking at the right items for the future.

CFO partnership. One person.

You’ll own the day‑to‑day financial operations — close, reporting, controls, payroll, treasury — and you’ll be a core strategic partner on budgeting, forecasting, and the unit economics that tell us whether we are building something that scales. You’ll work directly with the CFO and leadership team, and you’ll have a small team (one internal accounting FTE and an outsourced bookkeeping firm) that you’ll manage.

This is a startup. The infrastructure isn’t fully built. The processes aren’t fully documented. The metrics aren’t all being tracked yet. If that sounds like a problem, this isn’t the right role. If it sounds like an exciting opportunity, keep reading.

• Month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close. You manage it end‑to‑end, with accuracy and without drama.
• Outsourced bookkeeping oversight. One FTE + external firm. You set the standards, review the work, and make sure nothing falls through.
• Management reporting packages for leadership and the board. Clear, useful, on time.
• Accounting policies, internal controls, and compliance. You own the integrity of the financial record.
• Payroll processing in partnership with HR. Accurate and on schedule.
• Treasury and cash management. Positioning, bank relationships, liquidity forecasting.

• Annual budget, quarterly forecasts, long‑range planning. You lead the process and make it useful — not a compliance exercise.
• Financial models for scenario planning, headcount, and revenue projections. Built to be understood, not just to be impressive.
• Department‑level budget partnership. You track spend, surface insights, and give leaders the information they need to make good decisions.
• Board and investor materials. Variance analysis, KPI dashboards, narratives that hold up to scrutiny.

• SaaS financial metrics. ARR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, payback period. You own them, you can explain them, and you built the model from scratch.
• AI credits and consumption‑based revenue accounting. Cost allocation, margin analysis, the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into a standard SaaS framework.
• Revenue recognition in line with ASC 606. Built right, not bolted on.
• Unit economics. You track them as we scale, and you help the business understand what they mean.

• Finance tech stack ownership. Accounting software, billing, reporting tools. You improve what’s there and replace what isn’t working.
• Process improvements. You find the inefficiencies and fix them.
• Audit, tax, and regulatory support. When the time comes, you’re ready.
• Sales tax compliance. Nexus monitoring and filings across jurisdictions.

• 10+ years in finance, spanning controller and/or FP&A work. You’ve done both, not just one.
• Startup experience. You’ve built processes from scratch in a fast‑moving company. You know what that actually requires.
• Strong SaaS metrics command. You can build and explain them from scratch — not just pull them from a dashboard someone else built.
• Hands‑on operator. You’re comfortable doing the work yourself, not just directing others. That’s a requirement, not a preference.
• Outsourced accounting experience. You know how to work with an external bookkeeping firm and make that relationship work.
• Financial modeling fluency. Budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, scenario planning. You do this in your sleep.
• Accounting software proficiency. Quick Books, Net Suite, or similar. Excel and Google Sheets at a high level.
• Clear communicator. You can translate complex financial information for non‑finance audiences without dumbing it down.
