About the role

We are looking for a finance generalist who can be the financial backbone of a high-growth AI company. You will own both the accounting close process and FP&A work, operating across functions that larger organizations typically staff separately.

What You'll Do

Accounting & Financial Operations

  • Own the full monthly and quarterly close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements

  • Ensure audit-readiness and maintain good financial hygiene

  • Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable

  • Oversee cash and treasury operations, including cash positioning and forecasting

  • Build and maintain scalable accounting systems and processes as the company grows

  • Familiarity with AI tools, research-heavy industries, and AI hardware accounting is a plus

FP&A & Strategic Finance

  • Build and maintain financial models (including long-term model) to support planning, budgeting, and decision-making

  • Own the annual plan and rolling forecasts across the business

  • Model compute and GPU economics - understanding the unit economics of AI infrastructure is core to this role

  • Prepare financial analyses and board/investor materials

What We're Looking For

  • 3–5 years of finance experience at a high-growth technology company with significant hardware and R&D costs, ideally in a role that spans both accounting and FP&A

  • Strong accounting foundation. You can close the books, pass an audit, and explain a balance sheet without a cheat sheet

  • Fluency in financial modeling and planning

  • Background in investment banking or strategic finance is a plus, but only if paired with hands-on accounting experience

  • Experience working with compute-heavy or GPU-intensive businesses, or a demonstrated ability to quickly get up to speed on the economics of AI infrastructure

  • Comfort operating in both the weeds (month-end close) and at altitude (board-level financial narratives)

  • High ownership mentality - this is a role for someone who moves without being asked and flags issues before they become problems

Why Humans&

  • Work directly on problems at the frontier of AI with a founding team that has shipped products used by billions of people

  • Be the first finance hire - own the function and shape how it grows
