Summary

We're looking for a hands on finance professional who sits at the intersection of financial analysis, systems, and automation. Our finance team is lean, and there are a number of recurring processes today that still require manual exports, spreadsheet roll-forwards, reconciliations, and data preparation. We're looking for someone who can jump in, understand how the work gets done today, and help us build a faster, cleaner, and more repeatable way of doing it. This is a great fit for a strong Finance Analyst or Senior Analyst who knows their way around NetSuite and Excel, has solid FP&A and accounting fundamentals, and is genuinely excited about using tools like Claude and AI-assisted workflows to make finance work better. You'll work closely with our CFO and have meaningful exposure to the company's financial model, forecasting, close processes, reporting, and finance systems. What you'll work on Finance systems & automation Identify recurring manual finance processes and help automate or simplify them. Build more efficient workflows for getting data out of NetSuite and into Excel and other reporting tools. Improve recurring financial schedules and roll-forwards so they can be refreshed rather than rebuilt each month. Build and maintain supporting schedules for key balance sheet accounts, including areas such as deferred revenue, prepaids, accruals, fixed assets, debt, and equity. Help improve the monthly close data package and reduce manual work across the close process. Use Claude and other AI tools to accelerate analysis, automate workflows, troubleshoot formulas or scripts, and improve finance processes while maintaining appropriate financial controls and review. FP&A & financial analysis Support and maintain the company's financial model, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and key operating assumptions. Assist with forecasting, scenario analysis, cash planning, and budget-to-actual reporting. Help improve the underlying schedules and data feeding our financial model. Partner with the CFO on ad hoc financial analysis and business questions. Help translate financial and operating data into clear, useful insights. Accounting & reporting support Support recurring reconciliations and ensure schedules tie back to the general ledger. Help prepare standardized financial data for auditors, tax advisors, and other external partners. Improve documentation around recurring finance processes so workflows are repeatable and not dependent on one person. Help identify opportunities to strengthen the team's financial controls and operating cadence. What we're looking for Approximately 3+ years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, accounting, finance systems, or a combination of these areas. Strong hands-on experience with NetSuite, including reporting, saved searches, data extraction, and understanding how financial data flows through the ERP. Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with complex financial models and large data sets. Strong understanding of core financial statements and how the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement connect. Experience with budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, or monthly close processes. Experience improving or automating finance workflows that were previously manual. Comfortable using Claude or similar AI tools as part of your day-to-day work. Strong attention to detail and the financial judgment to validate and reconcile outputs rather than assuming the system or AI got it right. Comfortable operating independently in a small, lean team where you'll both identify problems and help solve them. Nice to have You don't need to check every box, but we'd be particularly interested in experience with: SQL, data warehouses, APIs, or other methods of connecting financial systems and data. Subscription or recurring-revenue businesses. Audit or tax support. Deferred revenue and revenue recognition. Carta or cap table administration. Brex, Tipalti, Rippling, or similar finance and operations tools. Building lightweight automations, scripts, or AI-enabled finance workflows. What success could look like During the initial engagement, we'd expect this person to quickly learn our financial systems and recurring processes, identify the biggest opportunities to eliminate manual work, and begin implementing improvements. That could include: Automating recurring NetSuite exports and reporting. Improving balance sheet schedules and monthly roll-forwards. Streamlining financial model updates. Building repeatable reporting and reconciliation workflows. Reducing the amount of manual preparation required for close, audit, and tax requests. Documenting new processes so the improvements stick.
