VP of Finance
About The Position
As VP of Finance, you will lead finance for Moon and also oversee finance for a sister operating company with 80+ employees. This role involves bringing startup and VC discipline to a business scaling toward a major platform launch. You have come up through high-growth technology companies, raised money from VCs, designed equity compensation plans, and worked directly with investors. The expectation is that AI and agents will handle the repetitive work of this function, and you will build finance with this approach from the start. You will report to the CEO, with a Controller reporting to you, owning everything from monthly close discipline and FP&A to the financial model, investor materials, and the reporting that the President/CEO uses to run the companies.
Requirements
- 10+ years in finance with senior roles at VC-backed technology startups; has been through raises firsthand.
- Has designed equity compensation plans and worked directly with investors and boards.
- Has built or led an FP&A function; strong modeling and analysis craft.
- Expert in modern finance and ops tooling (e.g., Ramp, Rippling, Navan) and AI agents in real workflows.
- Working command of both QuickBooks and NetSuite - able to run one and lead a migration to the other.
Nice To Haves
- Experience negotiating with banks, payment processors, or financing partners a strong plus.
- Experience with R&D-heavy or project-based workforce economics.
- Has operated under or achieved SOC 2 / ISO 27001 a strong plus.
Responsibilities
- Own financial operations across both companies: close, budgets, cash, intercompany and platform billing, and the board pack.
- Build and run the FP&A function: forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, scenario models, and the operating metrics behind headcount and investment decisions.
- Produce monthly financial reports by company, with evaluation and analysis - what the numbers say, why, and what we should do about it.
- Deliver the reports and visibility the President/CEO needs to run the companies, and build investor presentations and decks.
- Support the software modules commercially: work with banks, payment processors, and financing companies to structure and operate the payments and financing programs the platform offers.
- Build financial unit economics for a large R&D and project-based workforce: R&D cost treatment, per-module and per-user economics, pricing support.
- Design equity and incentive structures with the People team: bonus plan mechanics, equity or profits-interest programs, executive comp.
- Create and maintain a documented SOP Run Book of company finance operations - the function runs on written process, not memory.
- Serve as de facto lead on legal agreements and legal needs across the companies, coordinating outside counsel.
- Work with external auditors to complete audits of company financials.
- Prepare the company for institutional scrutiny: diligence readiness and audit-ready practices supporting SOC 2.
- Own the finance side of SOC 2 and ISO 27001: financial and access controls, vendor risk management, and audit evidence - partnering with IT and People to certify ahead of launch.
- Deploy AI agents and automation across the finance stack.
