Director of Finance

Location: Remote (U.S.)
Reports To: CEO
Team: Senior Leadership Team

Rhythm is a fast-growing SaaS company serving member-based organizations and associations. Our platform helps them manage events, memberships, and payments in one unified system. We’re scaling quickly, and our success so far has been driven by a team that combines deep industry experience with an obsessive focus on execution, collaboration, and customer success.
Now, we’re ready to bring that same level of excellence to our finance function.

We’re hiring our first dedicated Director of Finance — a builder, operator, and strategic partner who will own the company’s financial engine from top to bottom. This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s an opportunity to establish the systems, models, and rhythms (pun intended) that will power the next stage of our growth.
You’ll have full ownership of the finance function — from bookkeeping, AR/AP, and reporting, to forecasting, modeling, budgeting, and cash management. You’ll be the connective tissue between operations, product, and leadership — translating business decisions into numbers, scenarios, and actionable insights.
This role sits on the senior leadership team, partners directly with the CEO, and has board-level visibility. Over time, this position can evolve into a VP of Finance or CFO role as the company scales.

• Financial Modeling & FP&A – Maintain, improve, and expand our core financial model to reflect the realities of a complex SaaS business. Build decision frameworks that help leadership understand tradeoffs, risks, and upside.
• Budgeting & Forecasting – Lead annual and quarterly budgeting processes, collaborating with functional leaders to plan, manage, and adjust spending in real time.
• Accounting Operations – Oversee bookkeeping, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Ensure timely and accurate reporting.
• Payment Revenue Tracking – Manage relationships with our payment processing partners, reconcile monthly reports, and forecast payments-based revenue with precision.
• Board & Investor Reporting – Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reports, cash forecasts, and performance analyses for board meetings.
• Cash Flow & Capital Planning – Monitor cash position, anticipate runway needs, and provide proactive recommendations to leadership.
• HR & Payroll Oversight – Oversee HR administration, benefits, and payroll in partnership with our operations team.
• Strategic Insight – Provide financial guidance on key strategic decisions — pricing, hiring plans, contract structures, and capital allocation.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in Finance, FP&A, or Accounting within a SaaS or recurring-revenue business.
• Proven ability to build and maintain complex Excel or Google Sheets financial models.
• Experience managing AR/AP, payroll, and general ledger processes.
• Strong analytical and quantitative mindset — you think in numbers and use data to tell the story.
• Excellent communication skills; able to translate financial insight into clear, actionable recommendations.
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership style — willing to dive in but also capable of guiding others.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where systems are still being built.

• Direct access and partnership with the CEO and board of directors.
• The chance to build the finance function from the ground up and shape the financial systems of a scaling SaaS company.
• A remote-first, flexible culture built on trust, accountability, and performance.
• Real opportunity to grow into a VP of Finance or CFO role as the company scales.
• Competitive compensation and benefits
