Responsibilities

Assess the needs of the organization and build:

A strong finance team from the ground up that can support the entire organization, starting with a Controller

Scalable financial infrastructure and processes that enables an organization to stay lean while still being both precise and accurate in its financial reporting

Rigorous controls that balance competing values that live naturally in healthy tension at the high-trust environment of a start-up: clear, bright-line rules that are administratively scalable as well as a high degree of autonomy enabling nimble decision-making by people of different levels, all without increasing bureaucracy

Build a high performing accounting organization:

Manage internal and / or external accounting resources for efficient and speedy month-end closes

Consistently maintain audit-ready books and controls to ensure smooth annual external audits

Manage Reserv's bank accounts and custodial accounts necessary for effective, compliant, and tax-advantaged cash management

Set, achieve, and manage ambitious service-levels / internal KPIs for serving the organization's finance needs:

Quick month-end book closes, which have implications for shorter receivables cycles

Timely, daily or near-daily reimbursement approvals for employees

Vendor bills approved in a timely and responsible way

Work closely with cash-consuming functions (e.g., payroll, recruiting, or cross-functional market-entry projects, among others) to stay aligned on cash needs and ensure adequate cash levels at all times

Develop and monitor key financial KPIs that are early and live indicators of Reserv's health, e.g., free cash flow, contribution margins, cash runway. Collaborate with functional and cross-functional leaders to build directionally accurate forecasting of the company's financials

Formal and informal regular reporting and updates to executive team, cross-functional leaders, and other finance adjacent leaders:

Actionable communication: clearly communicate Finance's forecasting and current understanding around key financial metric and facilitating other leaders' understanding of the implications for their operations and forward planning

Constant communication: aligning early and often with the right expectation setting around confidence levels in Finance's findings.
