Canals - VP, Finance
Requirements
• 8+ years of experience in early-stage startup environments (pre-Series B or into Series B strongly preferred). • Must have worked closely with a founder CEO. • Strong financial modeling skills. You should be able to build and defend a sophisticated operating model without relying on others. • Experience overseeing accounting, taxes, and books — even if execution is outsourced. • Comfort operating as a lean finance function (e.g., VP + one additional team member or external support). • Experience partnering with revenue organizations (sales comp, forecasting, invoicing, collections). • Ability to present financial results clearly to executive leadership and board-level audiences. • High ownership mindset. You don’t wait to be told what to fix. • Comfort with ambiguity, scrappiness, and imperfect information. • Strong judgment — you know which risks require rigor and which don’t. • Experience in SaaS is preferred. Familiarity with SaaS metrics (e.g., retention, gross margin, Rule of 40) is a plus but not mandatory if you’re sharp and adaptable. • Experience with M&A is a nice-to-have, not required. • Comfort exploring how AI and automation can improve finance and accounting efficiency.
Responsibilities
• Own the company’s financial model end-to-end. • Build, maintain, and evolve a clear forward-looking model that enables scenario planning, hiring projections, profitability analysis, and capital allocation decisions. • Oversee accounting, taxes, and books and records. • Partner with external firms where appropriate, but maintain accountability for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. • Lead FP&A and strategic planning. • Translate financial data into insight. Identify trends, risks, and opportunities. Bring clear recommendations — not just numbers. • Partner closely with go-to-market leadership. • Support sales compensation planning, revenue forecasting, invoicing processes, collections, and customer-facing financial workflows. • Own financial reporting and board preparation. • Prepare quarterly financials and present results clearly and confidently to leadership and the board. • Improve operational finance systems and processes. • Ensure we’re using the right tools and workflows for a fast-growing SaaS company. Leverage automation and AI where appropriate to operate lean without sacrificing rigor. • Manage working capital and cash discipline. • Monitor burn, profitability, collections, and vendor payments with precision. • Bring sound judgment in scrappy environments. • Know when something materially matters — and when it doesn’t.
