About the Position:

Bluefish is looking for a Head of Finance / Director of Finance to help scale our finance function as we grow through our next stage of expansion. This person will own FP&A and strategic finance while also overseeing core accounting and controllership functions to ensure the company has strong financial discipline, clean reporting, and scalable processes.

This is a high-impact role for someone who can operate as both a strategic partner to the business and a hands-on leader who can drive accuracy, controls, and rigor across the finance and accounting function.

What You’ll Do

Finance leadership + business partnership (FP&A)

  • Own the company’s budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes (monthly/quarterly/annual)
  • Build and maintain the core SaaS financial model and operating metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, CAC, LTV, payback, churn)
  • Partner with GTM leadership and Revenue Operations to forecast bookings, pipeline health, and capacity planning
  • Partner with Product/Engineering on headcount planning, spend forecasting, and ROI analysis
  • Drive monthly variance analysis and executive-level narrative on performance and key drivers
  • Own executive dashboards and Board reporting materials

Accounting oversight + controllership responsibilities

  • Oversee the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and quality
  • Manage internal accounting resources and external accounting firms
  • Maintain strong financial controls, approvals, and audit-ready processes as the company scales
  • Ensure compliance and correct treatment for: Revenue recognition (ASC 606) Deferred revenue and billing operations Accruals and prepaid expenses Compensation expense and equity accounting coordination Expense classification and department-level reporting
  • Manage key accounting workflows including: Accounts payable and vendor management Payroll coordination and reconciliations Bank and balance sheet reconciliations General ledger integrity and chart of accounts evolution
  • Own preparation and support for annual audits, tax filings, and other compliance needs (in partnership with external providers)
  • Implement and improve core systems and workflows (NetSuite/QBO, Rillet, Ramp, etc.)

Finance operations + scaling

  • Build scalable processes for spend management, cash management, procurement, and budgeting discipline across the org
  • Improve tools and reporting systems to support real-time visibility into performance
  • Support hiring and development of the finance team over time

Strategic initiatives

  • Lead fundraising support including investor reporting and diligence requests
  • Partner on pricing, packaging, and unit economics improvement initiatives
  • Evaluate strategic opportunities including vendor negotiations and operational efficiency initiatives

What We’re Looking For

  • 8–12+ years of experience across finance, FP&A, and accounting; startup experience is required
  • Prior experience supporting board reporting processes
  • Direct experience with investor diligence, data room preparation, and financial modeling for institutional investors
  • Track record of scaling a finance organization from post-Series B maturity to the next stage of growth, including building out team, systems, and process rigor as headcount and complexity increase
  • Experience owning or overseeing accounting close cycles and controllership responsibilities
  • Strong understanding of SaaS financials and metrics; familiarity with ASC 606
  • Proven ability to build and improve finance processes and internal controls
  • Strong analytical and modeling skills, with the ability to translate data into business decisions
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with high ownership
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; experience with finance systems and tooling

Nice to Have

  • Experience implementing or scaling accounting and finance tooling
  • People management experience or desire to build/manage a team
  • Experience supporting international operations, including foreign subsidiaries, cross-border tax considerations, and intercompany transactions (e.g., transfer pricing, cost allocations)

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
