Fal AI Strategic Finance partner supports financial planning, forecasting, KPI reporting, and systems implementation in a fast-paced AI startup. The role involves data troubleshooting, financial modeling, and cross-functional collaboration.
Responsibilities
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.
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
