• Support leadership with operational input on cash management decisions (e.g., timing, structuring, FX, and cash placement).
• Maintain monthly financial reporting by updating inputs in existing trackers and models, validating internal consistency, and proactively identifying errors or exceptions.
• Maintain clean, reliable internal finance trackers and source-of-truth datasets, enabling regular internal views on cash, collections, and expenses by department and category.
• Reconcile internal finance views with accounting outputs and investigate discrepancies.
• Act as the primary point of contact with our external accounting firm, ensuring timely access to accurate data, tracking deliverables, and aligning accounting outputs with internal finance views.
• Own operational tax execution (e.g. sales tax, VAT, certificates, exemptions), ensuring correct tax treatment on invoices in coordination with external accountants.
• Support entity-related topics as the company scales (e.g. entity creation, inter-company cost allocation mechanics, tax optimization).
• Own the day-to-day operation of finance tools (billing, expenses, payroll, accounting interfaces).
• Support selection and implementation of new finance tools as needed.
• Continuously identify process gaps, inefficiencies, or risks, and document, automate, and improve finance processes and tooling to build a scalable, reliable finance operating system over time.
• Partner with RevOps, People, and Legal on finance-related workflows and data dependencies.

Requirements
