Job description
From White Circle’s job post, as they wrote it.
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 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.
Read the full description
* We’ve recently raised our Series A funding round, taking our total funding to $70M. Our investors include 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 model
We’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
Compensation & benefits
* Competitive compensation package, including equity
* Flexible time off
* Health insurance
* Mental health support, including coverage for therapy when you need it
* 401(k) retirement plan
* Learning and development support for courses, conferences, and opportunities to grow your skills
* All the hardware, subscriptions, tools, and services you need
* Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps, Saint-Tropez, and Marbella
How we hire
1. Intro call (25 min)
2. Take-home test assignment
3. Final call with CEO & Head of Ops (45 min)
