3. Strategic Finance Support: Develop financial models, KPI dashboards, and board-level reporting packages.
4. Fundraising & IPO Readiness: Lead financial due diligence for funding rounds and establish infrastructure for public company readiness (audit-quality reporting, SOX-aligned controls, 409A processes).
5. Tax & Compliance: Manage all U.S. federal and multi-state tax filings; primary contact for auditors and tax advisors.
Must-Have Qualifications

Proven experience building or scaling finance operations from the ground up.
Deep technical expertise in U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 for SaaS revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and 409A valuations.
Fundraising experience supporting Series B or later, including building complex financial models and leading due diligence processes.
Hands-on month-end close experience and ability to establish timely, accurate reporting processes.
ERP experience, preferably NetSuite, and strong operational systems skills.
