Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bastion builds regulated financial infrastructure for modern businesses. We are hiring a VP of Finance to build scalable finance systems, processes, and infrastructure, overseeing everything from month-end close to regulatory filings and financial models.
Responsibilities
- Immerse yourself in Bastion's financial infrastructure
- Review all active regulatory reporting obligations—understand what gets filed, when, with which regulators, and who currently prepares each submission
- Meet with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to understand the regulatory landscape that drives your reporting obligations and how the regulatory environment is expected to evolve
- Partner with the team to understand their domains, where handoffs happen, and where accounting and treasury workflows need tighter integration
- Review the current FP&A cadence: how budgets are built, how actuals are tracked against plan, what visibility leadership and department heads have into their spending, and where the gaps are
- Run the month-end close process and drive improvements: reduce cycle time, improve accuracy, eliminate manual workarounds, and establish a close calendar that the team can execute reliably every month
- Take ownership of all regulatory reporting: ensure every filing is accurate, complete, and submitted on time. Build the review and sign-off process so that regulatory submissions don't depend on a single person's institutional knowledge
- Build the FP&A rhythm the business needs: monthly budget-vs-actual reporting, department cost allocation, variance analysis, and the financial visibility that department leads and leadership currently lack
- Own the annual planning process: build the financial model, facilitate department-level budgeting, and produce the plan that connects revenue targets to headcount to burn rate to runway
- Prepare the finance function for increasing regulatory complexity: as the company's regulatory footprint expands, ensure that reporting capabilities, controls, and processes scale ahead of the requirements rather than scrambling to catch up
- Develop your team: assess capabilities, identify gaps, make hiring recommendations, and build the finance organization that the company will need over the next 12-18 months
