This role involves managing financial operations, overseeing month-end processes, liaising with accountants and auditors, and improving operational workflows. It requires strong organizational skills and numerical problem-solving abilities.
Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is looking to add a systems-minded generalist to help us run and scale our financial operations. This isn’t a traditional “finance” role: it’s about project-managing our external accountants and auditors, keeping financial processes running smoothly, and building systems that make our operations more efficient. If you enjoy bringing order to complexity, learning new concepts, and wearing many hats, this role could be a great fit.
The role offers significant exposure to the financial management of a rapidly growing company and the opportunity to contribute to the scaling of our financial functions. We are a small team, so you should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in wherever needed.
Responsibilities
- Owning day-to-day financial operations, ensuring our processes run smoothly and accurately
- Overseeing the month-end-close process with our external accountants
- Project-managing and liaising with our external financial auditors
- Performing ad-hoc data analyses in support of tax submissions and making sure things stay on-track
- Own expense management and financial data hygiene
- Leading cross-functional projects to tackle operational problems as they arise
- Identifying opportunities to improve and automate financial workflows as we scale
- Getting stuck in where needed to solve business problems as they arise
About you
- You have strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail: you enjoy checking items off your checklist, and can seamlessly balance multiple threads of work
- You are comfortable getting to clarity by working through numerical problems. You can spot inconsistencies quickly, and enjoy getting to the right answer
- You are adept at managing vendors, building strong relationships, and delivering feedback when needed
- You like solving ambiguous problems and creating order from chaos
- You’ve gone beyond entry-level tasks and are looking for a role where you can grow by tackling new problems and taking initiative
- Based in the US or Canada
- Low-ego attitude: no job should be too small or too large
- Nice-to-have: some familiarity with accounting principles or coursework.
- Nice-to-have: some knowledge of SQL and / or a scripting language to help automate things (e.g. python, javascript, VBA)
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We're relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
