Head of Finance

Wispr Flow · San Francisco, CA · 2 wk ago
On-siteFinance$200k–$350k/yrFull-time

The Head of Finance at Wispr Flow is responsible for building the financial engine that powers the company's rapid growth.

What this role owns:

  • Strategic planning, forecasting and budgeting

  • Build and own the financial model that drives every major decision: revenue forecasting, hiring plans, runway scenarios, GTM efficiency, and unit economics

  • Establish the operating discipline required to scale through Series B, C, D → IPO

  • Partner with the exec team on budget allocation, aggressive growth investment and strategic bets

  • Capital Strategy and Fundraising

  • Revenue & monetization strategy

  • Shape the financial architecture for a business evolving from strong PLG foundations into enterprise sales, working with the team on pricing, contract structures, and deal economics

  • Own revenue recognition and ensure the company's revenue practices are clean, defensible, and scale-ready

  • Accounting, controls and compliance

  • Stand up audit-ready financials by 2027, building internal controls, documentation, and reporting infrastructure from scratch

  • Manage external accountants and oversee bookkeeping, reconciliations, and monthly/quarterly close

  • Tax strategy including filings, R&D credits, and international tax obligations as we expand

Qualifications:

  • You've done this before. You built the finance function at a company that went from Series A/B through rapid scale, you know what breaks at each stage and how to build ahead of it.

  • You want to build from scratch, not maintain something someone else started.

  • You operate at the speed of the business, not the speed of finance.

  • You can build a board-ready model in a week, pressure-test a pricing change over lunch, and have a point of view on a $10M decision with imperfect information.

  • You don't confuse rigor with slowness.

  • You're a strategic partner, not a service function.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Compensation Range: $200K - $350K
