Job description
About vidIQ
vidIQ is the leading AI-powered platform helping millions of creators grow their audiences and businesses on YouTube. Finance sits at the center of how we make decisions - and were looking for the person who will own it end to end.
The Role
This is a rare, high-ownership combined seat: youll be both the technical backbone of our accounting and controls function and the analytical partner to the CEO and leadership team. Youll own everything from month-end close, audit, and compliance through forecasting, board reporting, and strategic analysis.
Youll work on a modern, automation-forward finance stack, with an accounting analyst handling day-to-day preparation and reconciliation - so your time goes to judgment, review, and insight, not manual data entry. If you want to own a whole finance function, put your name on the numbers, and directly shape company decisions, this is that seat.
What Youll Own
Accounting, Controls & Compliance
Own the monthly close: final-level review and sign-off on financial statements, revenue and deferred-revenue recognition, journal entries, and reconciliations (US GAAP)
Own the annual financial-statement audit end to end - manage the external audit relationship, coordinate requests, and represent the company through fieldwork and management representations
Own lender/debt-covenant reporting and certification and other recurring external financial deliverables
Own equity administration and stock-option issuances (cap table / Carta), including board-approval packages and the annual 409A valuation renewal
Own tax-compliance coordination - sales/use tax, 1099/3921 filings, and the external tax-firm relationship
Maintain and strengthen internal controls, segregation of duties, and financial policies
Cash, Treasury & Payments
Own the cash-flow forecast model and weekly cash monitoring; prioritize and authorize payments during the month
Own AP invoice approval, expense-reimbursement review, payroll review, banking administration, and the corporate card program
FP&A, Analytics & Strategy
Own the company budget/forecast and the monthly and quarterly reforecast
Own board-deck financials and KPI reporting; partner with the CEO on strategic, investor, and diligence materials
Build and maintain SaaS/subscription analytics - MRR/ARR, retention and cohort behavior, expansion, churn, and unit economics - and translate them into decisions
Partner cross-functionally (Engineering on infrastructure/COGS, People Ops on headcount planning, GTM on growth) to protect margin and drive efficiency
Leadership
Guide an offshore accounting analyst and use automation to scale the function without adding headcount
Serve as the senior finance point of contact for the CEO, board, auditors, lender, and investors
