Job description

About Flagright:


Flagright is an AI operating system for financial crime compliance used globally by Fortune 500 companies, large banks, fintechs, and fast growing startups. Flagright enables real-time risk detection, automated investigations, and intelligent decisioning, helping compliance teams operate at their full potential in the fight against financial crime.


We operate as a lean, high-performance team with high individual ownership and direct access to leadership.


Role overview:


The Head of Finance will take ownership for Flagright's financial operations globally, spanning our offices in the US, UK, India, and Singapore. This is a hands-on, operational role for an individual with strong finance expertise who thrives in high-growth environments and is excited to take on significant responsibilities while building and optimizing processes to support rapid scaling.


People who thrive at Flagright:


  • Have been knocked down before and gotten back up
  • Are resourceful—they figure things out with whatever tools are available
  • Have strong opinions and can defend them
  • Are hungry to learn & contribute
  • Want to work with no-BS people

People who struggle here:


  • Need extensive hand-holding
  • View high expectations as “unreasonable”
  • Expect strict 9 to 6 boundaries
  • Can't handle ambiguity or rejection
  • Prefer consistent routine over fast-changing priorities

Key responsibilities:


  • Prepare and manage investor updates, Board meetings, and monthly consolidated management accounts spanning 4 entities across US / UK / India / Singapore
  • Lead financial planning and analysis (FP&A), including budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Develop and maintain detailed financial models to support strategic decision-making and operational planning
  • Oversee accounts payable and enforce accounts receivable processes to maintain smooth cash flow operations
  • Collaborate with external accountants and tax experts to optimize accounting and tax strategies, ensuring compliance and efficiency
  • Implement inter-company pricing measures, including managing transfer pricing documentation and compliance
  • Oversee external auditors for a yearly audit across 4 global entities
  • Contribute to pricing and deal desk operations

Who we are looking for:


  • 5+ years of professional experience, with a solid background in Finance in a high-growth environment
  • Must have hands-on FP&A or Strategic Finance experience, including budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, variance analysis, and leadership reporting, gained in roles such as FP&A Analyst, FP&A Manager, Head of FP&A, or Strategic Finance Lead
  • Must have prior experience in a SaaS start-up environment (Series A to C)
  • Hands-on experience with fundraising and/or acquisition processes required
  • Experience operating across multiple entities, jurisdictions, currencies, and time zones, with an understanding of cross-border finance and multi-entity accounting, as well as HR, legal, tax, and compliance considerations
  • Strong working knowledge of SaaS business models, including ARR, retention, gross margin, CAC/payback, burn, runway, cash forecasting, and investor-facing operating metrics
  • Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on: able to advise leadership while also diving into models, contracts, payroll issues, vendor workflows, and operational details when needed
  • Proven people-management experience, ideally managing distributed or offshore teams, with high standards for ownership, responsiveness, and execution - note that the team reporting to this role is based in the Philippines

What we offer:


  • Leadership position with direct impact on how Flagright runs and grows globally
  • High-bar environment focused on execution, learning, and continuous improvement
  • Equity from day 1 at a Y Combinator startup
  • Work alongside a highly competent, top-tier team, including professionals from Y Combinator, ex AWS, and Palantir
  • Enjoy a low-bureaucracy environment, minimal meetings, and an asynchronous communications culture
