Role Description
We're looking for a VP of Finance to take Burq's finance and operations to the next level. We have a foundation in place — the systems, partners, and core operations that keep the business running. What we need now is a leader who can scale it into a strategic engine for the company: sharper planning, real financial rigor, and the operational muscle to support our next phase of growth.
This is not a role for someone who just manages the books. You'll be a true partner to the founders — owning how we plan, how we allocate capital, how we price and grow revenue, and how we run the company operationally. You're equally comfortable building the first model in a spreadsheet yourself and presenting it to the board: a builder, not just a manager. You'll bring a strong operational pulse across finance, revenue, and G&A, and you'll help us grow the entire business. High ownership, high leverage, direct line to every decision that matters.
What You'll Do
-
Financial Strategy & Planning
-
Own budgeting, forecasting, and a rolling financial model grounded in actual results
-
Deliver real-time visibility into burn, runway, and cash
-
Install capital-allocation discipline: clear ROI on every team, initiative, and investment
-
Produce board-grade financial reporting, analysis, and hygiene
-
Revenue Strategy & Operations
-
Own and shape our revenue strategy end to end — pricing, packaging, and monetization
-
Build the upsell and expansion motion
-
Model the unit economics and metrics that define a marketplace — take rate, contribution margin per delivery, gross margin, CAC:LTV, net revenue retention, and burn multiple
-
Partner with Go-to-Market on deal-level pricing for complex enterprise opportunities, and stand up revenue forecasting and operating rigor
-
Accounting, Financial Operations, & Capital Strategy
-
Scale our accounting operations — close, controls, and systems — into a reliable, in-house-caliber function
-
Establish financial controls, policies, and audit readiness
-
Lead financial preparation - model, data room, narrative, and diligence
-
Own investor and board relationships, reporting, and materials alongside the co-founders
-
Own the cap table, scenario and dilution modeling, and capital planning
-
Operations, People & Legal
-
Provide operational leadership across G&A — own or partner closely on People/HR and Legal as we scale
-
Build the systems, processes, and team that let the company grow efficiently
-
Serve as a strategic thought partner to the founders on company-wide operational decisions
Qualifications
-
10+ years across finance and operations with senior leadership experience — VP of Finance, Head of Finance & Operations, or CFO-track at a high-growth startup
-
A hands-on player-coach — you build the model, the forecast, and the board deck yourself before you have a team to delegate to, and you're comfortable in the details of the ledger
-
Has led or been central to growth fundraising — modeling, diligence, and investor/board management
-
Command of marketplace / usage-based accounting — gross-vs-net revenue treatment, revenue recognition, high-volume transaction reconciliation, and contractor/provider payouts
-
Built and scaled an FP&A function and matured finance operations into a rigorous, reliable engine
-
Strong command of unit economics and the metrics that define a marketplace — take rate, contribution margin, CAC:LTV, net revenue retention, burn multiple — plus revenue strategy (pricing, packaging, expansion)
-
Operational breadth — comfortable owning or partnering across HR, Legal, and broader G&A
-
Deep accounting fluency (CPA or equivalent experience a plus), with a track record of clean, timely closes and sound controls
-
A genuine strategic partner to founders who turns numbers into company-building decisions
-
Bonus: experience in logistics, delivery, supply chain, or another operations-heavy marketplace
Location
This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in the United States and Canada, with a few in-person offsites throughout the year.
Benefits
-
Competitive salary, stock options, and performance-based bonuses
-
Fully remote
-
Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance
