Finance Manager (New York City Metropolitan Area)

Company Description

Profitian is a boutique full-service financial firm dedicated to providing startups with a complete internal finance function through an insourced model, avoiding the need for full-time overhead.

With a global presence in Tel Aviv and New York, we offer personalized relationships and long-term partnerships to help businesses scale effectively and build permanent finance teams.
