  • Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and rolling projections
  • Perform variance analysis and clearly explain financial performance

  • Support cash flow planning, runway analysis, and spend optimization
  • Act as a finance partner to leadership as the business scales

  • High attention to detail, strong ownership mindset, and bias for action
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and moving fast
