About The Position

Burq is seeking a VP of Finance to elevate its finance and operations. The company has established systems and operations and now requires a leader to scale them into a strategic engine for growth, focusing on sharper planning, financial rigor, and operational support. This role involves partnering with founders on planning, capital allocation, revenue growth, and operational management. The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder comfortable with both detailed financial modeling and board-level presentations, possessing strong operational oversight across finance, revenue, and G&A to drive business growth.

Requirements

10+ years across finance and operations with senior leadership experience — VP of Finance, Head of Finance & Operations, or CFO-track at a high-growth startup.
A hands-on player-coach — you build the model, the forecast, and the board deck yourself before you have a team to delegate to, and you're comfortable in the details of the ledger.
Has led or been central to growth fundraising — modeling, diligence, and investor/board management.
Command of marketplace / usage-based accounting — gross-vs-net revenue treatment, revenue recognition, high-volume transaction reconciliation, and contractor/provider payouts.
Built and scaled an FP&A function and matured finance operations into a rigorous, reliable engine.
Strong command of unit economics and the metrics that define a marketplace — take rate, contribution margin, CAC:LTV, net revenue retention, burn multiple — plus revenue strategy (pricing, packaging, expansion).
Operational breadth — comfortable owning or partnering across HR, Legal, and broader G&A.
Deep accounting fluency (CPA or equivalent experience a plus), with a track record of clean, timely closes and sound controls.
A genuine strategic partner to founders who turns numbers into company-building decisions.
