Finance About Abacum Abacum is the leading Business Planning solution for finance teams to drive performance. By automating reporting, enabling collaboration, and simplifying planning and forecasting, we help finance teams shift from number crunching to driving strategic decisions. Founded in 2020 by two former CFOs, we’ve grown into a global team of 100+ people across 30+ nationalities. Headquartered in New York, we have offices in Toronto and Barcelona. We’re trusted by industry leaders such as Dish Networks, Strava, BetterUp, Kajabi, JG Wentworth, Abridge, Cortex, and hundreds more. We have raised over $100m, closing in June 2025 our $60M Series B, led by Scale Venture Partners, with the strong participation of Cathay Innovation, Y Combinator, Atomico, Creandum, and angel operators from Adyen, Zapier, and Twitch. Our mission is ambitious and we can’t do it alone - join Abacum as we build the future of Business Planning!
About the department
We are a finance company building for finance teams. That makes our own Finance function especially important. We do not run Finance as a back-office reporting layer. Finance is embedded in strategy and should set the benchmark for how a modern finance team operates.
About the role
We have two core pillars:
- Build a Finance function that becomes a benchmark for the market.
- Work closely with the founders on strategy, board/investor conversations, and future fundraising/financing workstreams.
This is a Lead role, but we are hands-on at every level. From entry-level to C-level, everyone owns projects, sets a high bar, and delivers.
Why this role matters
- Finance at Abacum sits at the core of company strategy.
- Our founders are former CFOs. Our customers are finance leaders. Our product is used by finance teams. The way we run Finance internally needs to be excellent.
- Our Finance function is lean, automated, AI-enabled, and built to operate at the frontier of innovation. We do not want a function that spends its time manually rebuilding reports or chasing numbers across disconnected systems.
What you’ll own
- Strategic finance and company performance: own the model, forecast, SaaS metrics, and business insights that shape how leadership understands what is working, what is not, and where we should focus.
- Fundraising, board, and investor work: own future fundraising, investor report data room, diligence, and financing scenarios.
- Scaling the Finance function: build a Finance function that is automated, AI-enabled, deeply connected across the tech stack, and the reference for the finance teams we sell to.
- Cash OPEX and financial discipline: own visibility on cash runway collections OPEX and department-level spend so leaders can make better decisions without slowing the company down (a business partner across the organization).
What we’re looking for
You set the bar high you are committed and you build a Finance function that becomes a market benchmark.
- 6 to 10 years of experience in strategic finance FP&A investment banking consulting BizOps or finance roles in high-growth companies ideally B2B SaaS.
- Strong financial modeling forecasting SaaS metrics KPI reporting and board/investor reporting experience.
- Strategic judgment You know what matters what is noise and how to turn numbers into decisions.
- High ownership and hands-on execution You want to build not only advise.
- Strong systems and AI mindset You do not accept manual work as the default.
