About Loman
Loman is building the AI operating system for restaurants.
Our voice AI platform answers calls, takes orders, books reservations, handles guest questions, and integrates directly with restaurant POS and reservation systems.
Restaurants use Loman to capture revenue they were losing, give staff their focus back, and deliver a better guest experience at scale.
We are backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly across independent restaurants, multi-location operators, and major restaurant brands.
Voice is our wedge. The mission is to become the AI-powered guest system of record for the restaurant industry.
The Role
We are hiring our first senior finance leader to build the financial operating system that will take Loman through its next stage of growth.
You will own finance end to end: forecasting, budgeting, accounting oversight, cash management, board reporting, fundraising support, financial systems, controls, and strategic decision support.
This is not a role for someone who wants to manage an established finance department. You will inherit outside partners and existing processes, but you will be responsible for turning them into an investor-grade finance function.
You will be equally comfortable building a board model, reviewing the monthly close, analyzing gross margin by customer segment, negotiating a major vendor contract, and telling the CEO where the plan is wrong.
The right person is a strategic finance leader and a hands‑on operator. You build the model, not just review it.
What You’ll Own
Financial Planning and Strategy
Own the company’s financial model, annual plan, rolling forecast, and long-range planning
Maintain real‑time visibility into revenue, expenses, cash, burn, runway, and hiring capacity
Build scenario models that help leadership make faster decisions about growth, pricing, hiring, and capital allocation
Establish clear operating targets and hold teams accountable to budgets and financial outcomes
Develop a strong point of view on the financial tradeoffs behind company strategy
SaaS Metrics and Unit Economics
Create a single source of truth for ARR, MRR, retention, expansion, churn, CAC, payback, gross margin, and burn efficiency
Analyze unit economics by customer segment, restaurant type, acquisition channel, product, and location count
Build visibility into telephony, AI infrastructure, payment, onboarding, support, and integration costs
Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to improve pricing, packaging, margins, and capital efficiency
Translate financial and operating data into clear recommendations for the leadership team
Accounting and Financial Operations
Own the quality and timeliness of the monthly close
Oversee accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, tax, insurance, and outside finance partners
Build scalable controls, approval processes, purchasing policies, and expense management systems
Ensure revenue recognition, commissions, deferred revenue, and customer contracts are handled accurately
Prepare the company for audits, diligence, and increasing reporting complexity
Know when to bring work in‑house and when outside specialists are the better answer
Fundraising, Board, and Investor Reporting
Lead the financial preparation for future fundraising processes
Own the data room, financial diligence, investor requests, scenario analysis, and supporting materials
Prepare board reporting and help turn operating results into a clear financial narrative
Maintain accurate investor reporting and support the CEO in investor and board communications
Manage the cap table, option planning, 409A process, and equity administration with legal and external partners
Business Partnership
Act as a direct strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team
Bring financial rigor to hiring, compensation, pricing, enterprise deals, vendor negotiations, and new initiatives
Help functional leaders understand their numbers and make better resource‑allocation decisions
Identify financial and operational risks before they become company problems
Build a culture where teams understand the economic impact of their decisions
Systems and Team
Design the finance technology stack and automate repetitive finance workflows
Improve data quality across finance, CRM, billing, payroll, banking, and operating systems
Build dashboards that give leadership clear, current visibility into company performance

What We’re Looking For
8+ years of progressive experience across strategic finance, FP&A, accounting, investment banking, private equity, or related roles
Meaningful experience inside a venture‑backed B2B SaaS or technology company
Experience building or significantly upgrading a finance function at a Seed through Series B company

Experience preparing board materials and communicating with investors
Ability to turn messy operational data into clear financial insight
