Company mission
To make an easy, open-source way for everyone in your company to ask questions and learn from data.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with strong analytical skills and an operational mindset — whether or not you come from a traditional finance background
- Your mind thinks in terms of spreadsheets; you know how to structure, analyze, and validate financial data with clarity and rigor. You can spot inconsistencies quickly, and enjoy getting to the right answer
- You have experience leading complex projects with multiple workstreams and deadlines
- You are adept at managing vendors, building strong relationships, and delivering feedback when needed
- You have strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail: you enjoy checking items off your checklist, and can seamlessly balance multiple threads of work
- You ideally have 2-5 years experience, preferably in a startup, consulting firm, or finance function
- Based in the US or Canada
- Low-ego attitude: no job should be too small or too large
- Nice-to-have: familiarity with accounting principles or coursework
- Nice-to-have: some knowledge of SQL and / or a scripting language to help automate things (e.g. python, javascript, VBA)
What the job involves
- Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is looking to add a quantitatively strong, systems-minded generalist to support our ongoing financial workflows
- This role will require wearing many hats: helping analyze and maintain clean financial data, overseeing our externally sourced bookkeepers, driving audit and tax initiatives, and building scalable systems to automate and streamline our financial workflows
- The role offers significant exposure to the financial management of a rapidly growing company and the opportunity to contribute to the scaling of our financial functions
- We are a small team, so you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in wherever needed
- Implementing systems that allow us to better manage our financial operations at scale
- Working with our external financial accountants, managing the month-end-close process
- Project-managing and liaising with our external financial auditors
- Performing ad-hoc data analyses in support of tax submissions and making sure things stay on-track
- Owning our expense processes and procedures
- Leading cross-functional projects to tackle operational problems as they arise
- Getting stuck in where needed
Our take
Metabase is leading a new trend in Business Intelligence tools. before it, there were big enterprise systems like SAP, and then self-service tools like Tableau and Looker. Now, cloud-based, open-source tools like Metabase are taking the stage.
Its open-source nature has helped Metabase reach 98 million downloads. Metabase makes money by offering a number of professional services like managed hosting, support, and assistance with implementing Metabase in a custom analytics or business intelligence setup.
The company is doubling down on its documentation and sales team to help onboard less experienced users and scale beyond its current user base of over 30,000 companies. The challenge for the startup will be capturing significant revenue while sticking to its open-source principles.
