VP Finance
About the role
We are hiring a VP of Finance to build scalable finance systems, processes, and infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll own the numbers end to end, from month-end close to regulatory filings to the financial models that inform how the company allocates capital and prices its products.
Responsibilities
- Get into the details and start owning the numbers
- Immerse yourself in Bastion's financial infrastructure
- Understand regulatory reporting obligations and how the regulatory environment evolves
- Partner with the team to understand their domains and where accounting and treasury workflows need tighter integration
- Review the current FP&A cadence and identify gaps
- Own the close, the controls, and the reporting rhythm
- Scale the function and drive strategic financial impact
Requirements
The ideal candidate comes from a controller or senior accounting background with meaningful exposure to strategic finance. Experience in highly regulated industries (financial services in particular) is a strong bonus.
Qualifications
- Lived inside the details of accounting and financial reporting
- Comfortable reviewing journal entries, building customer-level P&Ls and pricing models
- Presented financial analysis to the board
Skills
Technical accounting depth, controls discipline, and the judgment to operate in a regulated environment.
Benefits
Bastion operates under a NYDFS trust charter, which means the finance function carries specific regulatory reporting obligations. However, what matters most is the foundation: technical accounting depth, controls discipline, and the judgment to operate in a regulated environment. The specific regulatory requirements are learnable for someone with the right base.
Pay
$200K - $275K
Schedule
Flexible, with a preference for the role being based in NYC.
