The Company

Finario is a fast growing Software-as-a-Service technology company providing a suite of intelligent capital planning & portfolio strategy solutions to leading industrial enterprises worldwide.

The Role

This is a right-hand operator role for the founder of Finario.  You'll be the only person running commercial finance, accounting, office operations  and special projects — handling the day-to-day of the business so the founder can stay focused on customers, product, and growth.

If you've been the sole finance and operations person at a small services or technology company before and genuinely enjoyed the breadth and ownership, this is the role you've been looking for. If you want to build a finance department, manage a team of analysts, or work on capital raises and VC reporting, this isn't the role for you — and that's fine. 

What You'll Actually Do

Day-to-day, hands-on:
  • Run the books in QuickBooks Online yourself — A/P, A/R, journal entries, monthly close

  • Trigger and reconcile payroll (we use a PEO)

  • Manage cash, expenses, and vendor payments

  • Handle sales tax compliance and coordinate with our outside CPA on tax filings

  • Keep the office and business operations running smoothly

  • Produce monthly financial reporting for the founder

Periodically, with judgement:
  • Help structure pricing and contract terms on enterprise customer software deals

  • Lead vendor sourcing and renegotiation projects — insurance, software, services, banking

  • Take on whatever special projects come up: system selections, process improvements, ad hoc analysis

Who We're Looking For

  • Someone who's been the only finance/operations person at a smaller company and loved it

  • Hands-on accounting comfort — you actually use QuickBooks Online yourself rather than delegate it

  • Good commercial judgment — you've seen vendor contracts, pricing models, and customer agreements before

  • Detail-oriented but pragmatic about the 80/20 in a growing company

  • Comfortable being the only person in your function — not looking to manage a team

Compensation

  • Competitive Salary, Healthcare, 401(k)

Location

  • Metro Center, Stamford - immediately adjacent to Metro-North
