# Finance Lead

White Circle

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 https://whitecircle.ai 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.
• We’ve raised $11M from 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

WHY WHITE CIRCLE
• Meaningful equity package
• Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from
• All the hardware, tools, and services you need
• Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs
• Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez

HOW WE HIRE
1. Intro call (25 min)
2. Take-home test task
3. Final call with CEO (45 min)
