Finance Engineer

About Numeric

Every business relies on accounting. Yet most software in the space was built in the early 2000s — clunky, slow, and far behind the curve on AI. Today, accountants are facing a growing, unsolved data problem as a consequence of complexity, data, and system fragmentation — and they lack the tools to solve it. The problems are real, hard, and increasingly urgent. But they’re solvable.

Enter Numeric — the modern financial data platform for accounting and finance. Weaving together data, workflows, and AI-first solutions, we’re empowering accounting teams to achieve verifiable, detailed financial data faster and make business decisions with greater confidence.

We have strong product market fit and a growing base of customers who love our product — including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, and many more. We’re backed by top-tier investors including Menlo Ventures, IVP, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies.

The Role

We believe that the best finance professionals have always been the ones that deeply understand how data flows through their company’s business, and have the technical acumen to build systems to harness that flow of data to both report on what was and forecast what will be.

At Numeric, our mission is to build world class tools for that vision of finance and accounting.

Numeric’s internal finance engineer will shape processes across the finance lifecycle including procure-to-pay, quote-to-cash, month-end close and reporting, and forecasting & budgeting. Beyond internal finances, this role will be expected to provide feedback on the tools and systems that Numeric is building to transform the accounting space. You will partner closely with our founders and leaders across the company to not only operate the business, but provide feedback to build Numeric’s products.

This role is ideal for someone with a corporate accounting or FP&A background and/or experience building 0-to-1 within a finance team at an early-stage startup. You should want to manage the system and improve it to meet the evolving demands of our business.

This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role with direct impact on the trajectory of the company.

This is a 100% in-person role based in our San Francisco or New York City office.

What You’ll Do

• Build a world class finance function – through both Numeric’s products, and by building internal tools, our goal is to raise the ceiling of what “good” means for the office of the CFO

• Operate day-to-day – whether procure-to-pay, quote-to-cash, or month end close, we need to model what a best-in-class finance org looks like for our customers.

What You Bring

• Experience & Drive – 3-8 years in corporate accounting, FP&A, or finance at an early-stage startup with a hunger to take on high-impact work.

• Accounting expertise – You get energy from the craft of accounting, and a willingness to design finance and accounting processes from first principles.
