Finance Manager

We’re looking for a hands‑on finance leader to own the company’s core financial planning and analysis (FP&A), support accounting judgment calls, and run key finance operations including reconciliations, cash management, and fund flow execution for private capital raises (debt). This role is ideal for someone who can move seamlessly between high‑level strategic analysis and detailed, accurate financial work. What you’ll do FP&A and financial modeling Own the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and monthly performance reporting (actuals vs. plan, variance analysis, KPI tracking). Build and maintain robust financial models (3‑statement, scenario/sensitivity, unit economics, cash runway, and growth planning). Develop decision‑support analyses for leadership: pricing, hiring plans, capital structure, project ROI, and “what‑if” planning. Create clear, executive‑ready materials (narratives, charts, dashboards) that translate finance into business decisions. Accounting support and close partnership Partner closely with accounting (internal or external) to opine on accounting decisions and ensure financial reporting is accurate and supportable. Demonstrate strong command of the 3 statements and how accounting choices flow through P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Support month‑end processes by ensuring finance outputs align with accounting actuals and underlying source data. Reconciliations and finance operations Run and/or oversee key reconciliations (cash, AR/AP‑related, balance sheet schedules, debt schedules, and other critical accounts). Improve finance processes, templates, and controls to increase speed, accuracy, and auditability. Maintain organized documentation and a repeatable cadence for recurring financial deliverables. Cash flow and treasury management Own short‑ and medium‑term cash forecasting and working capital analysis. Monitor cash balances, timing of inflows/outflows, and ensure appropriate liquidity planning. Track debt schedules, interest expense, covenant calculations (as applicable), and related reporting requirements. Fund flows for private capital fundraising (debt) Manage end‑to‑end fund flows for fundraising activity: tracking commitments, coordinating drawdowns/closings, funding movements, and maintaining investor/lender support schedules. Partner with legal, banking partners, and leadership to ensure timely, accurate movement of funds and supporting documentation. Build and maintain reporting that supports capital providers and internal stakeholders (e.g., proceeds use, cash waterfall, debt reporting). What we’re looking for (required) Strong financial modeling skills, including 3‑statement modeling and cash flow forecasting. Strong FP&A foundation: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and KPI reporting. Excellent Excel skills (advanced formulas, structured modeling, error checking, clean outputs; comfort building models from scratch). Strong grasp of accounting fundamentals and the implications of accounting decisions on financial statements. Proven ability to run reconciliations with accuracy and strong attention to detail. Exceptional organization: reliable workflows, documentation discipline, and deadline management. Strong communication: can explain financial concepts clearly to non‑finance stakeholders and write crisp narratives. Preferred qualifications Experience supporting debt financing, capital raises, lender reporting, or fund/transaction flows. Experience improving finance processes and controls in a fast‑moving environment. Familiarity with GAAP/IFRS concepts relevant to the business (revenue recognition, capitalization vs. expense, accruals, etc.). Experience with financial systems (ERP/accounting software) and BI/reporting tools (nice to have). #J-18808-Ljbffr
