About the Role

The Company is seeking a Startup Controller and Fractional CFO to lead and grow its fractional finance advisory service. The role involves advising founders on budgeting, forecasting, cash runway, spending, and fundraising readiness, translating financial data into actionable decisions. The successful candidate will turn manual processes into repeatable systems and help design an AI-powered finance agent that delivers CFO-level insights to startup founders.

Candidates should have at least two years of corporate finance experience, such as in accounting advisory, mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, or an equivalent field. Strong financial modeling skills, including cash flow forecasting and dashboard development, are required, along with practical experience building AI agents, automations, or internal tools used regularly.
