ABOUT US:
Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.
Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building products that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.
Skip is a 24-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc’teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device, the MO/GO, develop a platform to launch future Movewear products and transform millions of lives in the coming years.
The Role
We are seeking a highly motivated, AI native finance builder to be Skip’s first dedicated finance hire. You will take our finance function from a Xero account and good intentions to a real operating system: accrual books, clean controls, a live financial model, and AI workflows and agents that handle the repetitive work so you can focus on the decisions that matter. If you do something twice, you automate it.
What you’ll do
Own cash flow management across complex supplier and customer payment terms, including invoicing, collections, and payables
Move our books from cash to accrual accounting and bring real rigor to capex, inventory, and fixed asset accounting
Set up warranty reserves, product liability accounting, and the insurance coverage a consumer hardware company needs
Migrate us off Xero onto AI native finance tools, and make it easy for the team to issue POs, track spend, and get approvals without chasing anyone
Build workflows, scripts, and agents that automate the close, reconciliations, reporting, and variance analysis, with an audit trail behind every number
Own working capital strategy: evaluate and secure the right mix of inventory and product financing, working capital lines, invoice factoring, SBA loans, and venture debt
Build and own our financial model, including burn, runway, unit economics, BOM costing, COGS, and scenario planning we can run live in a meeting
Lead Series A readiness: clean financials, board materials, investor updates, data room, and diligence support
Partner closely with manufacturing and operations on vendor terms, purchasing, and supply chain cash flow
What we’re looking for
4 to 8 years in accounting, FP&A, strategic finance, or controller roles, ideally including time at an early stage company
Strong accounting fundamentals; you’ve run or overseen a cash to accrual transition and know GAAP well enough to set policy, not just follow it
You build with AI every day. You’ve used Claude Code, Codex, or similar to ship real tools for a finance team, and you can show us
Comfortable with SQL, Python, and APIs; you’d rather wire two systems together than export a CSV
Experience with hardware, inventory, or manufacturing finance
Hands on experience with debt financing, whether working capital lines, venture debt, or asset based lending
Operator mindset: you bring the controls and rigor of a big company without the bureaucracy
Clear communicator who can walk an engineer through cash runway and an investor through unit economics
Nice to have
CPA or Big 4 background
Experience supporting a priced Series A or later round
Familiarity with AI native finance tools (Rillet, Ramp, Brex, Concourse, or similar), plus Carta and Rippling
