Job description
Graphite Financial is a growing boutique finance, accounting, tax, and strategy firm (www.graphitefinancial.com) built to help startup and high-growth companies scale efficiently and sustainably. Graphite Financial is redefining the “finance department” for early-stage companies and VC-backed startups. We deliver high-caliber accounting and finance leadership and support to entrepreneurs and management teams building scalable, high-growth companies. Our clients are actively managing cash burn, measuring performance, reporting to investors, making capital allocation decisions, and preparing for fundraising. All of that takes expertise and time that founders don’t have and can’t afford to hire for. Graphite bridges the gap with flexible, fixed-fee support packages that provide fractional leadership and operational support from CFOs, Controllers, FP&A Managers, and Tax leaders.
We are looking for a FP&A Senior Manager to join our growing FP&A team. Ideal candidates have experience leading teams in financial analysis and reporting, budgeting and forecasting, and data analysis and presentation. If you are analytical, inquisitive, and enjoy diving into financial data, you’re in the right place. We believe data is meaningless if it doesn’t tell a larger story. Candidates should be skilled in presenting financial results clearly with high-impact visualizations and other presentation tools. This is a client-facing role and candidates should be confident leading client discussions independently, delivering and interpreting financial results, and providing fundraising support. Candidates with early-stage startup experience in finance, or FP&A roles are preferred, as are candidates with client-service experience and CPG or SaaS industry experience.
