The posting

TLDR: We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Lead to own day-to-day accounting and finance operations: from reviewing expenses, invoices, and receipts to financial reporting, forecasting, and cash & burn tracking.

ABOUT US

White Circle https://whitecircle.ai is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

- We’ve recently raised our Series A funding round, taking our total funding to $70M. Our investors include top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others

- We process over one hundred million API calls every month

- We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model

We’re a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built – you’re the one we need.

YOU WILL

- Own day-to-day finance and accounting operations across different entities, with a focus on the US entity and US GAAP accounting

- Own the monthly financial close and ensure our reporting and financial data are accurate and up to date

- Work with external accountants, tax advisors, auditors, and other finance providers where needed

- Build and maintain financial reporting that gives a clear view of revenue, expenses, cash, burn, runway, and overall financial health

- Own budgeting and forecasting processes, including estimating revenue, expenses, headcount, cash needs, and runway

- Build and maintain financial models to support hiring, spending, pricing, fundraising, and other strategic decisions

- Help design and improve accounting and finance processes as we scale

- Prepare financial information and analyses for investors, fundraising processes, board materials, and due diligence

- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive finance workflows and improve the quality and speed of financial reporting

YOU’LL FIT RIGHT IN IF YOU

- You have hands-on experience with US GAAP accounting (must-have)

- You have strong accounting fundamentals and are comfortable owning the financial close and financial reporting process

- You can work independently and take ownership of the finance function without needing a large team around you

- You have experience with accounting or finance in a multi-entity or group company setup

A BIG PLUS

- CPA qualification

- Experience with international accounting

- Experience with financial forecasting, budgeting, cash flow planning, and burn/runway tracking

- Build lightweight dashboards and internal tools when needed to make financial analysis more accessible

- Comfortable building financial models from scratch and using them to answer real business questions

- Experience setting up finance and accounting processes from scratch

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Competitive compensation package, including equity

- Flexible time off

- Health insurance

- Mental health support, including coverage for therapy when you need it

- 401(k) retirement plan

- Learning and development support for courses, conferences, and opportunities to grow your skills

- All the hardware, subscriptions, tools, and services you need

- Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps, Saint-Tropez, and Marbella

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
