Role
Who you are
- 7–10+ years of progressive finance experience, including meaningful time as a Controller or in a similarly senior accounting/finance role, and you're ready to take the next step into a strategic, cross-functional leadership seat
- Strong SaaS industry background, with fluency in ARR, CARR, MRR, GRR, and NRR, and a solid understanding of how these metrics connect to unit economics and business strategy
- Direct experience building and owning financial projection and cash-runway models
- Experience preparing for and presenting to a board of directors, and ideally direct experience working with lenders and/or shareholders/investors
- A genuine willingness to be hands-on with day-to-day transactional work in the near term, balanced with the judgment to operate strategically
- Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy and ambiguity in a startup/scale-up environment, with strong prioritization skills across a broad mandate
- CPA (or equivalent) designation preferred, not required
- Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex financial and operational information for a range of audiences, from the board to first-line managers
What the job involves
- Statflo is hiring its first Director of Finance — a senior, hands-on leader who will own finance for the company as we scale
- You'll be the most senior (and, initially, only) member of the finance function, acting as a strategic partner to the CEO, board, lenders, and shareholders, while also supporting key operational functions including RevOps and Salesforce administration
- We plan to hire a Controller within the next twelve months to own day-to-day data entry and transactional accounting, but that hire hasn't happened yet — so this role requires a genuine willingness to roll up your sleeves and get into the details until that support is in place
- This is a rare opportunity to build a finance and ops function largely from the ground up, shape it in your own image, and grow into a broader leadership role as the company scales
- Strategic Finance:
- Serve as Statflo's senior finance voice with the board, management team, lenders, and shareholders — preparing board materials, financial updates, and ad hoc analyses that inform key decisions
- Own the company's financial projection model and cash-runway model, keeping them current, accurate, and stress-tested against multiple scenarios
- Lead financial planning & analysis (FP&A): budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and monthly/quarterly reporting for the leadership team and board
- Manage relationships with lenders and support debt covenant compliance and reporting
- Support fundraising, financing, and other strategic transactions as needed, including data room management and due diligence
- Track and report on core SaaS metrics — ARR, CARR, MRR, gross revenue retention (GRR), and net revenue retention (NRR) — and translate them into insights that shape pricing, packaging, and go-to-market decisions
- Own cap table management and equity administration
- Hands-On Finance:
- Support the monthly close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting
- Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing/collections
- Ensure accurate, timely, and compliant financial statements and tax filings (working with external accountants as needed)
- Operations:
- Support Revenue Operations (RevOps): sales forecasting (as part of the projection model), quote-to-cash processes, and commission/comp plan administration
- Administer and continuously improve Salesforce (or partner closely with an admin/consultant) to ensure the CRM supports accurate reporting and clean data across sales, marketing, and customer success
- Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and insurance, and support legal/compliance matters in coordination with outside counsel
- Identify and implement systems and process improvements across finance and ops as the company scales
- Team Building:
- Define the hiring plan for a Controller and other future finance hires; lead the search, hire, and onboard that person
- Build the processes, systems, and controls that will let the finance/ops function scale smoothly as the team grows
Application process
- Initial Phone screen with our Recruiter
- Conversation with CRO and a member of the board
- Conversations with Head of Finance
Our take
Reaching out to customers directly in the form of mass-sent letters, e-mails, and phone calls is a common practice for businesses. However, customers now value personalized engagement much more than mass marketing, preferring to converse with businesses directly on their chosen communication platform.
Statflo has developed a one-to-one messaging and customer engagement platform for businesses, facilitating personalized messaging based on customer data through preferred platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. The platform is also fully compliant for customer outreach and can be integrated within existing systems such as Salesforce, Adobe, and MS Dynamics through SDKs and APIs.
Whilst competitors provide customer engagement solutions in the form of personalized chatbots, Statflo stands out with its heavy emphasis on personal data compliance whilst still providing a personalized approach. Furthermore, Statflo's ability to let customers choose which platform to receive personalized messages on allows the messaging service to outperform existing e-mail solutions.
