- Manage treasury operations: Oversee cash management, forecasting, and optimization across multiple accounts and entities.
- Establish internal controls: Design and maintain robust accounting policies, processes, and systems as we scale.
- Support strategic initiatives: Partner with leadership on fundraising, vendor negotiations, and financial modeling.
- Coordinate with external partners: Manage relationships with auditors, tax advisors, banks, and accounting software vendors.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5–7 years of relevant experience in accounting and treasury functions
- Early experience from a top tier accounting firm + startup experience (bonus points if you were the first accounting hire in the past)
- Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting (previous audit experience a nice to have)
- Experience in a high-growth startup, fintech, or SaaS company
- Hands-on experience with financial systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar)
- Comfort operating autonomously while also collaborating cross-functionally
- CPA or equivalent certification preferred but not required
- High attention to detail, analytical thinking, and strong communication skills
Why Join Butter:
- We’re building something people need, with a product that’s proven to save millions in revenue.
- We’re a low-ego, high-impact team who values curiosity, ownership, and candor.
- You’ll work closely with a visionary CEO and gain rare exposure to the inner workings of an early-stage startup scaling fast.
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits—including health, dental, 401(k), generous time off, and more.
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
