TL;DR As Director of FP&A, you'll own the numbers that run Harper: the plan, the forecast, the cash, and the story we tell our board and investors. Remote, high ownership, and close to every major decision we make. We are looking for someone who can build a great operating model, partner with department heads as a peer, and walk into a board meeting and explain what the numbers mean, not just what they are. You've built finance functions at venture- or PE-backed software companies, and you're ready to be the strategic finance partner at a company where your work shapes the outcome. If that sounds like you, read on.
The Director of FP&A is Harper's strategic finance lead—the person leadership turns to for a clear view of where the business is, where it's heading, and what it will take to get there. You'll own planning, forecasting, cash, and board reporting, and you'll be a hands-on partner on pricing, partner economics, fundraising, and strategic transactions.
This is a role for someone who is as comfortable in the operating model as in the room with the CEO and the board. You'll build the annual plan with each department head, keep a rolling forecast honest, and turn the data in Salesforce, Xero, Ramp, and Carta into a single source of truth for the metrics that matter—ARR, MRR, NRR, burn, and runway.
You'll also work with our accounting resources to make sure the books are accurate, on time, and audit-ready—without needing to run every journal entry yourself.
We move fast, wear many hats, and value people who flex to get things done. You won't inherit a finance playbook for most things; instead you'll help write it.
What success looks like: Leadership has a plan they trust, a forecast that holds up, and no surprises on cash or runway.
What success looks like: Every pricing and partner decision is backed by clear economics, and everyone at Harper uses the same numbers.
What success looks like: The board and investors get accurate, timely, and insightful reporting, and see finance as a strength of the company.
What success looks like: Harper is always diligence-ready, and capital events move quickly because the numbers are already in order.
What success looks like: Finance runs on a predictable rhythm, with controls that protect the company without slowing it down.
This role is intentionally different from many traditional finance positions. To ensure clarity and alignment, it is important to understand what this role is not:
Xero, Ramp, Salesforce, Carta, Google Workspace (Sheets), Slack, Zoom, Microsoft tools.
The Director of FP&A is how Harper turns ambition into a plan it can execute. This role gives leadership and the board a clear, trusted view of the business, grounds every major decision—pricing, partnerships, hiring, and capital—in sound economics, and makes sure we have the runway to get where we're going. As Harper scales through partnerships and enterprise growth, strong financial leadership is what lets us move fast with confidence.
