Summary

About the Role We're looking for a detail-obsessed finance operations analyst to own the day-to-day accuracy of our cash, books, and billing systems, while also feeding clean, reliable inputs into our forecast model and executive dashboard. You'll work closely with our finance lead and external bookkeeping firm, and you'll be the person who can look at a bank feed, a billing system, and a CRM export and tell us, with certainty, whether the numbers are real. What You'll Own Bank & Revenue Reconciliation: Reconcile bank accounts monthly; match billing-system records (Chargebee) to actual bank deposits; trace individual payments across bank wires, card-processor batches, and business banking to confirm reported revenue is real cash-in-hand. Surface unrecorded transactions and reconciliation breaks for the monthly books close. Accounts Receivable & Collections: Maintain the AR aging report by bucket; rank accounts by size/collectibility; produce a weekly "Accounts to Watch" collections-risk list; support overdue-invoice outreach. Accounts Payable: Audit vendor bills for accuracy and due dates; mark bills paid; manage recurring vendor payables and billing continuity. Billing-System Administration: Keep our billing platform in sync with actual receipts and bank feeds: mark invoices paid, apply incoming payments to the correct (oldest-first) invoice. Churn & Customer-Health Reporting: Own a recurring meeting reconciling CRM customer-health data against billing-system status to produce a clean read on account health and billing continuity. Forecast Model & Cash-Burn Workbook: Maintain revenue-opportunity inputs to the company's cash-burn/runway forecast model; contribute to the "assumptions checklist" (open opportunities, expected revenue/payment timing, churn by account, upcoming costs). Executive Financial Dashboard: Populate and maintain a one-tab leadership dashboard: burn + 6-month forecast, break-even point, MRR waterfall and churn, collections by account, renewal/churn-risk flags, headcount/payroll snapshot. Ad-Hoc Analysis & Investor Prep: Support revenue classification (core vs. non-core) for investor materials, commission analysis, and twice-weekly cash/burn/AR/AP review calls. Required Skills & Tools Hands-on experience with subscription billing platforms (e.g., Chargebee), cloud accounting software (e.g., Xero or QuickBooks Online), and CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot) Comfort navigating business banking portals and card-processor dashboards to trace payments Advanced Excel/Google Sheets: pivot tables, lookups, and building or maintaining financial models Demonstrated bank reconciliation and/or month-end close experience Basic financial modeling exposure: cash-burn, runway, or revenue forecasting Comfortable working in fast-moving, imperfect startup data under real cash-flow pressure Strong written English for async reporting and live meeting participation Nice to Have Experience with SaaS metrics (MRR, churn %, ARR waterfall) Prior experience preparing investor-facing or board-level financial materials Experience supporting a US-based startup remotely Schedule 40 hrs/week, flexible timezone. Two recurring live meetings/week fall during US Eastern business hours (a cash/burn/AR/AP review call and a churn/customer-health sync) and applicants should confirm they can attend those specific windows even if the rest of the work is async.
