Flex is an early-stage, remote-first FinTech startup that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2023 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! We enable our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing in 2023. Will you be a part of the team?

What You’ll Do:

  • Manage our accounting daily activities and finance operations and develop plans for driving efficiency and automation
  • Own the financial close process and all associated activity to deliver accurate and timely results reporting to management, shareholders, regulators, and the Board of Directors.
  • Develop the team’s capabilities across the range of sub-functions: general ledger, tax,, payroll, accounts payable, financial reporting, audit, and others
  • Ensure consistent implementation of corporate accounting principles and procedures in full compliance with US GAAP.
  • Accountable for our annual audit (big 4), as well as creation of tax strategy and compliance
  • Develop, implement, and maintain the internal systems and financial controls consistent with their policies and regulatory guidelines, ensuring compliance with all tax and corporate requirements and filings.
  • Understand and document reporting needs, collaborate on operational issues, develop creative solutions, and provide business guidance and insight through financial reporting.
  • Lead process improvement and automation across all areas of accounting and finance.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A Bachelor's Degree, or equivalent degree in Business, Finance, Accounting or relevant field
  • 10+ years of finance experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership capacity
  • Experience in scaling companies, including projects such as ERP implementation, tax strategy, cap table management, etc
  • Desire for a fast-paced, hands on, entrepreneurial environment
  • Exceptional project management and communication skills

The national pay range for this role is $200,000-$240,000 in base salary. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience aligned with Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.

Life at Flex:
