Thanx - Finance Manager

• "With great power comes great responsibility." Uncle Ben • While Thanx has been around for over a decade, and this credibility serves us well in the slow-moving restaurant industry, we seek to operate at the speed of an enterprise-grade, AI-native company. Our expectations of Thanxers: • You are building, not asking. You treat AI as a team member, not a search engine. With every individual contributor now armed with a fleet of agents, everyone is a manager of sorts, and everyone's output should represent what a team of experts could achieve, not just one time-constrained person. • You are building, not asking. • Your brain is always in the loop. You know these tools are likely to be confidently wrong, but you are the expert. You build a habit of correcting mistakes and unsupported assumptions and redirecting agents consistently, to save tokens and time but most importantly before something errant reaches a customer or a colleague. • Your brain is always in the loop. • You create for others, not just for yourself. Scaling AI productivity means crafting systems, tooling and output that move the needle for others, not just your own productivity. To do this well, all your work product should be designed to play nicely with other functions. • You create for others, not just for yourself. • Additionally, for Finance: • Automate repetitive finance processes. Identify opportunities to automate manual workflows across month-end close, billing, reconciliations, accounts receivable, expense management, and financial reporting, so Finance can support a growing business without proportionately increasing headcount. • Automate repetitive finance processes. • Build smarter financial reporting and analysis. Use AI to accelerate financial analysis, variance explanations, forecasting, and management reporting, translating financial data into actionable insights. • Build smarter financial reporting and analysis. • Maintain strong financial controls. Balance innovation with accuracy, data security, appropriate human review, and sound accounting practices. AI should enhance financial judgment, not replace accountability. • Maintain strong financial controls. • Your performance on each of these expectations will be considered as part of all performance reviews. • We don't believe in rigid requirements, but success in this role typically involves: • 3 to 5 years of progressive accounting or finance experience, ideally a combination of public accounting and hands-on operating experience at a high-growth company. • A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
