Head of Finance, Freshpaint

• 8+ years of progressive finance experience, including leadership roles at high-growth B2B SaaS startups or scale-ups (ideally Series A–C)
• Hands-on accounting ownership: you've run the monthly close and owned the balance sheet and income statement, ideally through a controller role or Big 4 audit experience
• Experience taking a company through an audit
• Strong command of SaaS metrics, subscription economics, financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning
• Experience partnering with GTM leaders on commercial economics, comp design, and pricing
• Proven experience partnering directly with CEOs and executive teams
• Ability to simplify complex financial concepts and influence non-finance stakeholders
• High ownership and sound judgment. Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and making decisions with imperfect information in a fully remote, fast-moving environment

Desirable

• We're looking for a hands-on, strategic finance leader to serve as Freshpaint's Head of Finance
• You've owned accounting, not just FP&A: you've run the monthly close, owned the P&L, balance sheet, cashflow and ideally taken a company through an audit
• You also bring the SaaS FP&A chops and commercial instincts to be a true partner to leadership
• You don't wait to be told what the business needs: you define the path, make clear recommendations on where to invest and when to pull back, and drive execution with conviction
• You're a doer who builds lean, scalable systems, thrives on turning ambiguity into structure, and is hungry to grow your visibility with our board and investors
• As Freshpaint's Head of Finance, you'll own the finance function that powers our next stage of growth
• Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll run day-to-day finance operations, from the books and monthly close to designing how we plan, budget, forecast, and measure the business
• We've moved from a marketing-led to a sales-led GTM motion, so you'll play a central role in how we invest in growth, pressure-test our commercial economics, and manage runway
• Over time, you'll build a strong presence with our board and investors as we prepare for what's next
• This is a highly visible, hands-on role for a finance operator who wants to shape how a company runs, not just report on it
• Financial operations & accounting:
• Own the monthly close, P&L, balance sheet, cashflow, and ensure accurate, timely financial statements
• Maintain strong controls and audit readiness across accounting, revenue recognition, tax, and treasury
• Manage our day-to-day finance team and external accounting partner, keeping the finance org lean and high-leverage
• Design and operationalize our financial operating model: processes, systems, reporting cadences, and budget ownership across teams
• Strategic planning & FP&A:
• Own annual planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasts, with clear budget owners, org ratios, and spend guardrails
• Build and maintain scalable, driver-based financial models that support scenario planning, hiring plans, and long-term strategy
• Drive operational discipline around spend, cash flow, and runway management
• Partner with GTM leadership on comp plans, capacity planning, pricing guardrails, and unit economics, challenging the commercial economics as we scale a sales-led motion
• Executive partnership & board:
• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and exec team, giving data-driven recommendations on investments, trade-offs, and pacing of growth
• Deliver clear, decision-ready reporting on the core SaaS metrics that leadership relies on
• Grow into ownership of board and investor reporting, and support fundraising preparation and potential strategic processes when the time comes
