SENIOR MANAGER, FINANCE

About vidIQ vidIQ is the leading AI-powered platform helping millions of creators grow their audiences and businesses on YouTube. Finance sits at the center of how we make decisions — and we're looking for the person who will own it end to end. The Role This is a rare, high-ownership combined seat: you'll be both the technical backbone of our accounting and controls function and the analytical partner to the CEO and leadership team. You'll own everything from month-end close, audit, and compliance through forecasting, board reporting, and strategic analysis. You'll work on a modern, automation-forward finance stack, with an accounting analyst handling day-to-day preparation and reconciliation — so your time goes to judgment, review, and insight, not manual data entry. If you want to own a whole finance function, put your name on the numbers, and directly shape company decisions, this is that seat. What You'll Own Accounting, Controls & Compliance • Own the monthly close: final-level review and sign-off on financial statements, revenue and deferred-revenue recognition, journal entries, and reconciliations (US GAAP) • Own the annual financial-statement audit end to end — manage the external audit relationship, coordinate requests, and represent the company through fieldwork and management representations • Own lender/debt-covenant reporting and certification and other recurring external financial deliverables • Own equity administration and stock-option issuances (cap table / Carta), including board-approval packages and the annual 409A valuation renewal • Own tax-compliance coordination — sales/use tax, 1099/3921 filings, and the external tax-firm relationship • Maintain and strengthen internal controls, segregation of duties, and financial policies Cash, Treasury & Payments • Own the cash-flow forecast model and weekly cash monitoring; prioritize and authorize payments during the month • Own AP invoice approval, expense-reimbursement review, payroll review, banking administration, and the corporate card program FP&A, Analytics & Strategy • Own the company budget/forecast and the monthly and quarterly reforecast • Own board-deck financials and KPI reporting; partner with the CEO on strategic, investor, and diligence materials • Build and maintain SaaS/subscription analytics — MRR/ARR, retention and cohort behavior, expansion, churn, and unit economics — and translate them into decisions • Partner cross-functionally (Engineering on infrastructure/COGS, People Ops on headcount planning, GTM on growth) to protect margin and drive efficiency Leadership • Guide an offshore accounting analyst and use automation to scale the function without adding headcount • Serve as the senior finance point of contact for the CEO, board, auditors, lender, and investors
