## About the role

**TLDR: **We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Lead to own day-to-day accounting and finance operations: from reviewing expenses, invoices, and receipts to financial reporting, forecasting, and cash & burn tracking.

### About us

[White Circle](https://whitecircle.ai) is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

- We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others

- We process over one hundred million API calls every month

- We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary modelWe’re a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built – you’re the one we need.

### You will:

- Own day-to-day finance and accounting operations across different entities, with a focus on the US entity and US GAAP accounting

- Own the monthly financial close and ensure our reporting and financial data are accurate and up to date

- Work with external accountants, tax advisors, auditors, and other finance providers where needed

- Build and maintain financial reporting that gives a clear view of revenue, expenses, cash, burn, runway, and overall financial health

- Own budgeting and forecasting processes, including estimating revenue, expenses, headcount, cash needs, and runway

- Build and maintain financial models to support hiring, spending, pricing, fundraising, and other strategic decisions

- Help design and improve accounting and finance processes as we scale

- Prepare financial information and analyses for investors, fundraising processes, board materials, and due diligence

- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive finance workflows and improve the quality and speed of financial reporting

### You’ll fit right in if you:

- You have hands-on experience with US GAAP accounting (must-have)

- You have strong accounting fundamentals and are comfortable owning the financial close and financial reporting process

- You can work independently and take ownership of the finance function without needing a large team around you

- You have experience with accounting or finance in a multi-entity or group company setup**A big plus:**

- CPA qualification

- Experience with international accounting

- Experience with financial forecasting, budgeting, cash flow planning, and burn/runway tracking

- Build lightweight dashboards and internal tools when needed to make financial analysis more accessible

- Comfortable building financial models from scratch and using them to answer real business questions

- Experience setting up finance and accounting processes from scratch

### Why White Circle

- Meaningful equity package

- Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from

- All the hardware, tools, and services you need

- Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs

- Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez
