Job description
About the role

- Manage one direct report (Bookkeeper) and oversee all accounting functions including AP, AR, and payroll.
- Migrate and maintain reporting data from Salesforce, ensuring historical accuracy as the company scales.
- Control spend via Ramp, enforce policy compliance, and identify cost‑saving trends.
- Analyze P&L for efficiency gains, challenge assumptions, and recommend pricing adjustments.
- Partner with the CEO to build robust financial models in Google Sheets for budgeting and forecasting.
Required profile
- Proven leader comfortable managing a Bookkeeper while diving into detailed spreadsheets.
- Strong research mindset: investigate high‑line items and propose multiple remediation options.
- Focus on ROI – view finance as a profit driver rather than a cost center.

- Expert‑level Google Sheets (complex formulas, data visualization, dynamic reporting).
- Experience with Salesforce reporting and data extraction.
