About the Role

We are hiring a Finance Manager to own the financial engine of the business: the three-statement process, cash flow, forecasting, and the compliance calendar that keeps a global company in good standing. This is a hands-on role with broad scope. You will close the books and build the models, manage all tax filings, oversee billing and collections, manage AP, AR and the audit.

Partner daily with colleagues and vendors outside the United States.

It suits someone who has already carried this weight at a smaller company and wants to keep the breadth while taking on more ownership — not a specialist looking to go deeper in one lane.

What You’ll Do

• Own the three-statement process end to end — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement — including the linkages, roll-forwards, and reconciliations that hold them together.
• Drive the monthly and quarterly close: journal entries, accruals, deferred revenue, prepaid schedules, fixed assets, intercompany eliminations, and balance sheet account reconciliations.
• Produce the monthly reporting package for leadership and the board, with variance analysis against budget and forecast and a clear narrative on what moved and why.
• Maintain and improve the chart of accounts, close checklist, and supporting documentation so the process is repeatable, faster each cycle, and audit-ready by default.

• Own the direct cash flow forecast — 13-week rolling and longer-range — and report on liquidity, runway, and variances to leadership.
• Manage working capital: DSO, DPO, deferred revenue timing, merchant reserves and settlement flows, and the levers that move each one.
• Oversee treasury operations, including banking, account structure, payment approvals and controls, and cash positioning.
• Monitor debt covenants and lender or investor reporting obligations, and flag risks early rather than at the deadline.

• Build and maintain the integrated operating model, and use it to run the annual budget, quarterly reforecasts, and long-range planning. This will be in collaboration with the VP of Finance.
• Model the drivers that actually matter to this business: subscription and hardware revenue, payments volume and attach rate, churn and retention, gross margin, headcount, and unit economics.
• Build scenario and sensitivity analyses for pricing changes, new market entry, hiring plans, capital decisions, and downside cases.
• Support ad hoc analysis for leadership, the board, lenders, and diligence processes — including pulling clean, defensible numbers under a short deadline.

• Own sales and use tax end to end: nexus monitoring and registrations, taxability determinations across states and product lines, notices, and audits.
• Manage the federal income tax return process in partnership with outside tax advisors — coordinating the provision, the schedules and work papers, book-to-tax adjustments, estimated payments, and extensions.
• Coordinate state income and franchise tax filings, annual reports, and business registrations across the jurisdictions where we operate.
• Support international tax and indirect…
