Financial Analyst

About the Role

GrayMatter Robotics is a well-capitalized Physical AI company headquartered in Los Angeles, building Factory SuperIntelligence (FSI) through systems that learn, adapt, and develop genuine process intelligence across every part they touch. Our robots take on the tedious, hazardous, and ergonomically demanding work that has kept manufacturing dependent on a shrinking skilled workforce, delivering superhuman performance. We deliver our system through a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model that converts capital expenditure into an operating subscription, making Physical AI accessible to the manufacturers who need it most.

The Head of Finance owns the financial model and strategic planning behind our growth, and this role ensures the ground-level discipline underneath: staying close to every department's spend, tracking specific spend pools, and keeping the numbers clean and current so the model stays trustworthy.

Responsibilities

• Track specific spend pools against budget, and flag variances to the Head of Finance as soon as they show up.
• Feed accurate, up-to-date department spend data into the company's core financial model.
• Reconcile actual department spend against budget and forecast on a recurring basis.
• Follow up with department leads on outstanding invoices, purchase orders, and budget questions.
• Maintain organized, accurate spend records across departments in GMR's financial systems.
• Prepare recurring summaries of department spend trends for the Head of Finance.
• Support the Head of Finance with ad hoc analysis and reporting requests as they come up.
• Use AI tools to automate recurring spend tracking and reporting tasks, creating more time for the follow-up that actually requires a human.
• Identify opportunities to streamline how spend is tracked and reported across departments.
