Full Job Description
The Role

We're looking for a hands-on finance professional to help build and scale our Finance function - a rare chance to shape how Finance works at Stan from the ground up, not just execute an existing playbook. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you'll get a front-row seat to how a fast-growing AI startup runs, with real ownership over key parts of our day-to-day finance operations as you help build stronger reporting, planning, systems and financial insights as the company grows.

This is a broad, high-visibility role for someone who enjoys both getting into the details and improving how things work. You'll work across accounting operations, FP&A, systems, automation and strategic analysis, with real ownership from day one.

Tasks

  • Month-End Close: Own the monthly close process and deliver accurate, timely financial reporting for the board and investors
  • Technical Accounting: Revenue recognition, consolidated reporting, and external audit ownership, with real accounting-policy judgment.
  • Billing & Collections: Own billing, invoicing, AR/collections, and support AP and payments, building stronger controls as you go.
  • Automation & Intelligent Workflows: Evaluate, implement and continuously improve our Finance systems (billing, sales tax, spend management, reporting infrastructure), bringing a curious, AI-forward mindset to automating recurring processes and surfacing insights faster.
  • Compliance: Support sales tax, compliance, SRED process and other recurring finance requirements.
  • Planning & Forecasting: Support the annual operating plan, forecasting, and cash-flow/runway visibility.
  • Business Partnering: Build and maintain budget-vs-actual and recurring KPI/management reporting, partnering directly with department leaders.
  • Strategic Finance: Identify cost-saving opportunities and build the business cases behind major investments and capital-allocation decisions.


Requirements

Must-Have

  • Relevant Experience: 4-7 years of progressive finance experience, with a CPA designation.
  • Technical Foundation: A strong grounding in accounting and financial analysis, including month-end close and balance sheet management
  • Comfortable with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
  • Startup Grit: Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where processes may still need to be built. You take an outcome and drive it through rather than waiting for instructions.
  • Communication: Exceptional ability to work directly with non-finance stakeholders and explain the "why" behind the numbers.

Nice-to-Have

  • Systems Orientation: Genuine interest in improving processes through technology, automation and AI, and experimenting with new tools to translate them into practical workflow improvements.
  • Prior experience at a SaaS or technology company with an understanding of SaaS metrics
  • Public Accounting Background: Experience at a Big 4 or public accounting firm.


Benefits

  • Opportunity to sell world-class, patented AI technology.
  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission structure.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and specialist benefits.
  • Company Macbook.
  • Free parking and shuttle service to the office.
  • Extra PTO during occasional US holidays.
  • Company events, in-office restaurant, and building-wide perks.
  • Unlimited ping pong and espresso!
