• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payment reconciliation across high-volume consumer transactions.
• Deploy AI agents to automate reconciliation, journal entries, and close workflows.

• Own tax compliance across federal, state, local, and international jurisdictions, including sales tax obligations across 9+ global destinations.
• Manage payroll operations end to end, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance as headcount scales.
• Build the internal controls, SOX-readiness, and compliance infrastructure required ahead of Series B.
• Use AI tooling to monitor compliance obligations and flag exposure across jurisdictions in real time.
• Conduct line-by-line reviews of budgets and actuals, identifying cost reduction opportunities across every function.
• Own vendor spend management, including contract review, renewal scrutiny, and spend consolidation.
• Partner with FP&A to ensure budgets reflect operational reality and variances are caught and explained immediately.
• Implement AI-driven anomaly detection across spend, flagging irregularities and unbudgeted expenses as they occur.
• Build real-time reporting that gives leadership a precise, current view of cash, burn, and runway.

• Understanding of complex revenue recognition spanning subscriptions, transaction fees, and multi-party payment flows.
• Deep command of GAAP and hands-on experience across close, audit, tax, and payroll.
• Proven track record of preparing a company for institutional audits and the financial scrutiny of late-stage fundraising.
• Meticulous by nature, with a track record of catching the errors others miss.
• A builder’s mindset towards AI, with demonstrated experience deploying AI agents and automation across close, reconciliation, and reporting workflows.
• Low ego, high ownership, and the communication skills to make complex financials clear to operators across the business.
• Experience in hospitality, luxury consumer, or live events is a strong plus.
