Graphite Financial is a growing boutique finance, accounting, tax, and strategy firm (www.graphitefinancial.com) built to help startup and high-growth companies scale efficiently and sustainably. Graphite Financial is redefining the “finance department” for early-stage companies and VC-backed startups. We deliver high-caliber accounting and finance leadership and support to entrepreneurs and management teams building scalable, high-growth companies. Our clients are actively managing cash burn, measuring performance, reporting to investors, making capital allocation decisions, and preparing for fundraising.

Graphite bridges the gap with flexible, fixed-fee support packages that provide fractional leadership and operational support from CFOs, Controllers, FP&A Managers, and Tax leaders.

Candidates with early stage startup experience in accounting, finance, or FP&A roles are preferred, as are candidates with client-service experience and SaaS or CPG industry experience.
Some of What You’ll Do:
- Develop assumptions-driven financial models that empower clients to forecast company performance, assess headcount and resource needs, manage runway, and plan for fundraising
- Prepare and present comprehensive monthly financial reports to multiple clients, including all financial statements, trend reporting, budget vs. actual reporting, and key metrics
- Build financial dashboards that use visualization to communicate results and tell a “story”
- Perform ad-hoc analysis for clients on pricing strategy, margin sensitivity, cash burn scenarios, etc.

Our roots give us a unique vantage point that extends well beyond vanilla finance and accounting matters. In other words, we’re more than just bookkeepers, though we’re great at that too.
