About Finch

Our mission is to make justice radically more accessible to every American household.

We combine expert operators with purpose-built AI to automate the admin work of consumer law and put clients first by handling intake, claim opening, medical records, police reports, lien management, demands, and everything in between.

Since launching in April 2025, we’ve raised a $20M Series A backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits and are running pre-litigation for over 125 of the highest-volume personal injury firms across the country.

What you'll do

As our first Accounting Leader, you'll be the steward of the numbers the company runs on: books that close fast and clean, revenue that's recognized the right way, and a finance foundation that investors, auditors and our own team can trust.

• Own accounting end-to-end, including the monthly close, the general ledger, and financial reporting across all Finch entities.

• Work hands-on as a player-coach: close the books, write the memos and build the reconciliations yourself while laying the foundation for a growing team.

• Own revenue recognition under ASC 606, and design how GAAP applies to an AI-native services business that sells outcomes rather than seats or hours (performance obligations, variable consideration, timing of recognition).

• Manage a new type multi-entity with an Managed Services Organization (MSO structure), including intercompany accounting, consolidations, and entity-level compliance.

• Drive Finch to an audit-ready state and own the audit end to end: build the controls, and documentation, and be the primary point of contact for our external auditors.

• Bring our accounting systems to the next level, leveraging AI and automation so a small team can do the work of a much larger one.

• Partner with Sales, Legal and Finance on contracting terms, billing, the revenue model and core investor reporting.

What will make you successful

You’ll likely thrive if you have

• 10+ years in accounting, including having built and led the accounting function at a high-growth startup or scale-up. CPA preferred.

• Deep background in revenue accounting: you've owned ASC 606 for a complex model and can point to the policies and memos you wrote.

• You can take GAAP revenue recognition and apply it to new business models, such as outcome-based, usage-based or services pricing, and defend your judgment.

• You've managed accounting across companies with multiple entities, including intercompany, consolidations and compliance.

• You've taken a company from messy books to audit-ready and run a financial statement audit end to end, as the main point of contact for the auditors.

• You still do the work hands-on: you close the books, reconcile, and write the technical memos yourself.

• You've built close and control processes and can point to the before and after (days to close, audit adjustments, findings).

• You use AI and automation in your accounting work today and have a view on where they help.

It’s a plus if you have

• Big 4 or national audit firm experience, ideally with technology or services clients.

• Experience preparing for a first audit or a SOC 1 / SOX-readiness program.

• Experience at an AI-native company, or at a company through both early stage and scale.

• Familiarity with revenue in legal services or other regulated industries.

• Experience with modern accounting stacks (e.g., NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire) and billing systems.

2. Interview: A structured exercise to understand your approach to scaling an end-to-end hiring engine.

3. Onsite: A visit to our NYC office to meet the team, explore the work together, and have lunch.
