Our mission is to provide cutting-edge tools that streamline workflows, enhance transparency, and improve financial outcomes across the real estate ecosystem. At Rabbet, we value innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to improving the real estate finance industry.

The Role

We are looking for a detail-oriented Director of Finance and Operations to join our leadership team. This is a financially-focused role that sits at the heart of our business — responsible for owning core financial operations, driving strategic forecasting, and establishing the infrastructure to support our next phase of growth.

Reporting to the CEO, you’ll lead our accounting, budgeting, compliance, and financial reporting functions, while also supporting broader operational areas such as vendor management, payroll, and internal process optimization. Your work will ensure our books are buttoned up, our insights are sharp, and our team is empowered to execute effectively.

As a key member of our small but mighty team, you'll contribute to cross-functional initiatives beyond finance — from investor communications to scaling internal systems. Your ownership and precision will be critical in enabling the success of our company and its people.

What You'll Do:

Accounting & Compliance

• Manage the general ledger, monthly close, and reconciliations

• Oversee AP/AR and cash flow forecasting

• Ensure compliance with GAAP and relevant regulatory standards

Finance & Budgeting (FP&A)

• Own the company budget and forecast in partnership with leadership

• Build and maintain financial reporting and dashboards (monthly, quarterly, annual)

• Support board reporting, fundraising, and strategic planning

Tools & Vendors

• Evaluate and manage relationships with accounting software, payroll systems, and external CPAs/bookkeepers, implementing appropriate systems and processes as the company scales

Tax & State Filings

• Coordinate sales tax compliance and filings across multiple states

• Maintain registrations, annual reports, and other business obligations in various jurisdictions

Payroll & Benefits

• Manage end-to-end payroll processing and employee onboarding/offboarding

• Partner with HR vendors and systems as needed

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in accounting, finance, or operations — ideally in a software/SaaS startup or high-growth environment

• Proven ability to manage tactical work with precision and reliability

• Strong understanding of GAAP, multi-state tax compliance, and payroll

• Experience building internal financial processes and reporting frameworks

• Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and follow-through

• High integrity and a proactive, low-ego mindset

Why Join Rabbet?

• Be part of a company transforming the real estate finance industry

• Work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment with a passionate team

• Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid (one day in office company)

• Have a direct impact on scaling an industry-leading platform

Compensation, Benefits, and Perks

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and contribution

• Opportunity to participate in ownership of a growing startup through our employee stock option plan

• We care about your total wellness: we offer a 401(k) plan with a generous matching contribution as well as comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.

• We understand the importance of family and time to recharge: we provide parental leave benefits, ample PTO (that we encourage you to use), and remote flexibility.

• $1,000/year education stipend, to be used on courses, conferences, books, etc.

• Opportunities for growth towards technical and people leadership

• Entrepreneurial culture and a small, dynamic team
