About the Role

We’re looking for a strategic finance partner to join our growing finance team. You will help across all functions - consolidations, KPI reporting and tracking, systems implementation, and ad hoc strategic projects. This is not a typical B2B SaaS business, and fal is not a typical environment: we’re a deliberately flat organization with very few titles or layers, moving extremely fast with data and processes still being built. The ideal person is interdisciplinary, resourceful, low-ego, and energized by ambiguity and a high-urgency pace.

What You'll Do

  • Planning: Support company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes
  • Models: Help maintain and extend our bottoms-up revenue model across GTM motions and products, track and report actuals vs variances, and surface insights
  • Systems: Assist with FP&A software implementation and additional finance systems (ERP, procurement)
  • Reporting: Partner with accounting and data on monthly revenue reporting, ensuring product- and customer-level breakdowns are accurate and usable
  • Visibility: Build dashboards giving leadership real-time visibility into key performance metrics vs plan and forecast
  • Make the data usable: Go into the data (e.g. BigQuery), spot what’s wrong, and drive it to a fix with the right people; we’re a lean team without a dedicated analyst, so this is core to the job
  • Automate: Use AI tools to automate recurring financial workflows

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience across strategic finance, private/growth equity or investment banking with 3+ years of finance operating experience at a high-growth technology company
  • Able to read and troubleshoot data and validate metrics independently. You don’t need to hand-write SQL, but you must read a table, find what’s wrong, and problem-solve it
  • Working knowledge of accounting concepts (billings, deferred revenue, AR, rev rec) and able to translate them for non-finance stakeholders
  • Strong financial-modeling skill; can distill complex data into clear, actionable insights
  • Strong cross-functional communication and influencing skills
  • Resourceful, low-ego, high-urgency, and genuinely excited to operate in a fast-changing AI startup with evolving processes

Qualifications

  • Experience in AI, cloud, or large-scale computing infrastructure
  • Experience implementing a modern FP&A tool
  • Track record of building/using AI tools to automate financial workflows

How We Work

fal is intentionally flat: there are very few titles, and almost everyone reports to a senior leader rather than a layer of managers. People here are excited about the AI space, take real ownership, move fast, and aren’t focused on titles or hierarchy. If a messy, high-autonomy, build-as-you-go environment sounds energizing rather than stressful, you’ll thrive.

Why Join

Work with senior leaders on strategic and high-priority problems at one of the fastest-growing companies in AI. High autonomy, real ownership as you earn it, and competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
