The Financial Systems team sits at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, and IT, owning the technology backbone that powers our close, billing, revenue recognition, and spend management processes — including Net Suite, Salesforce, Metronome, Ramp, and Flo Qast.

The Head of Financial Systems leads the strategy, architecture, and operations of our core financial technology stack. This role translates business requirements into scalable systems solutions while ensuring data integrity, controls, and compliance across the ecosystem — with particular focus on the revenue recognition workflow spanning Salesforce, Metronome, and Net Suite. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set direction, manage a team, and stay close enough to the systems to guide design decisions and troubleshoot when it matters.

• Own the roadmap and architecture for our financial systems stack, including Net Suite ERP, Salesforce, Metronome, Ramp, Tipalti, Celigo and Flo Qast
• Serve as the systems owner for quote-to-cash and revenue recognition, ensuring clean data flow and reconciliation between Salesforce, Metronome, and Net Suite
• Lead system implementations, upgrades, and integrations, partnering with Accounting, FP&A, Revenue Operations, Procurement and IT to translate business needs into scalable solutions
• Ensure strong internal controls and audit-readiness across all financial systems, with particular attention to revenue recognition under ASC 606
• Build and manage a team of systems analysts/administrators, and manage vendor relationships across the stack

• 10+ years of progressive experience in financial systems or ERP leadership, including 4+ years in a senior management capacity
• Hands-on experience with Net Suite ERP required; experience with Salesforce, Metronome, Ramp, and/or Flo Qast strongly preferred
• Experience with usage-based billing and revenue recognition complexity (ASC 606) is a significant plus
• Proven track record leading system implementations or integrations across a multi-system finance stack, with strong cross-functional and people-leadership skills
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related field; CPA, MBA, or relevant certifications a plus
