About The Position

SuperSummary is looking for an experienced, hands-on Head of Finance to become the financial backbone of our business. Reporting to the CEO and partnering with our VP of Operations, you will drive the financial planning, analysis, and business partnership that shape how we invest, grow, and operate — while owning the accounting function that keeps it all accurate. This role is FP&A- and partnership-first but full-spectrum. You’ll build the annual budget and rolling forecasts, run scenario modeling as a monthly rhythm, own subscription KPI reporting (MRR, ARR, churn, LTV, CAC), and serve as the financial voice in leadership and operating decisions — and you’ll also own the accounting function end-to-end: monthly close, revenue recognition under ASC 606, ChargeBee and Stripe billing operations, and managing our bookkeeper. You’ll help evaluate, automate, and modernize our financial tools and workflows, including AI-assisted reconciliation and reporting. The ideal candidate has built or run the finance function at a SaaS or subscription business and is equally comfortable building a rolling forecast or presenting variance analysis to the CEO as they are closing the books. You understand the nuances of consumer subscription economics — revenue recognition, deferred revenue, chargebacks, and the metrics that matter. You’re looking for a seat at the table, not just a seat behind a spreadsheet. This is a part-time position for 10-20 hours per week.

Requirements

8+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, with meaningful time at a SaaS or subscription-based business
Hands-on FP&A depth: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial modeling are your core toolkit — you build driver-based models and rolling forecasts from scratch, not just tweak templates
A track record of turning numbers into decisions: scenario modeling, leadership reporting, and partnering with non-finance leaders on operating and investment choices
Fluency in SaaS/subscription metrics — MRR/ARR, churn, LTV, CAC, payback, and net dollar retention — and the consumer subscription economics behind them
Controller-level accounting foundation: you’ve owned or closely overseen monthly close and revenue recognition (ASC 606 or IFRS 15), so you can run the accounting function, not just analyze its output
Proficiency with subscription billing platforms (ChargeBee, Stripe, Recurly, or similar) and accounting software (QuickBooks)
Experience with consumer or self-serve subscription models (high-volume, low-ACV)
Experience working at a startup or high-growth company under $25M in revenue, where you wore multiple hats and operated as a generalist
Strong English communication skills — you can present financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders and hold your own in leadership meetings
A collaborative, confident communicator who thrives in a fully remote environment — you seek out cross-functional partnership rather than waiting for requests to come to you

Nice To Haves

CPA, CMA, or equivalent professional certification
direct experience with ChargeBee
comfort leveraging AI tools for financial analysis

Track and report on SaaS-specific metrics: MRR/ARR, churn, LTV, CAC, payback period, and net dollar retention
Prepare leadership financial reporting and dashboards that tell a clear story
Run scenario modeling as a monthly rhythm — including reverse-engineered analyses like “what would we have to believe to hit [a profit target]” — so leadership can make investment and cost decisions with the right context, not just when a big question comes up
Embed with the leadership team — attend weekly and monthly meetings, serve as the financial voice in operational decisions
Partner closely with the VP of Operations on an ongoing basis — providing financial context that shapes operating decisions and translating operational reality back into forecasts, models, and resource plans
Partner directly with department heads (content, product, marketing) on quarterly budget reviews, spend tracking, and resource allocation
Provide ad-hoc financial analysis to support cross-functional decisions
Coach non-finance stakeholders to understand and use financial data effectively
Support strategic initiatives and long-range planning across the business
Own the monthly close process end-to-end, ensuring accurate and timely financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
Manage revenue recognition under ASC 606 / IFRS 15, including deferred revenue, chargebacks, cancellations, and prior-period adjustments
Oversee billing platform operations (ChargeBee and Stripe), becoming the in-house expert on how subscription data flows into the general ledger
Manage our bookkeeper to ensure accurate day-to-day bookkeeping, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general ledger activity
Maintain audit-readiness and coordinate with external tax advisors on annual compliance
Build and document internal controls appropriate for our size and stage
Evaluate and recommend improvements to financial tools and workflows (ERP, billing, reporting)
Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, including AI-assisted reconciliation and reporting
Create runbooks and documentation for repeatable finance processes to build institutional knowledge
