Strategic Finance

fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.

As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.

About the role

We’re looking for a strategic finance partner to join our growing finance team. You will help across all functions - consolidations, KPI reporting and tracking, systems implementation, and ad hoc strategic projects. This is not a typical B2B SaaS business, and fal is not a typical environment: we’re a deliberately flat organization with very few titles or layers, moving extremely fast with data and processes still being built. The ideal person is interdisciplinary, resourceful, low-ego, and energized by ambiguity and a high-urgency pace.

What you’ll do

Planning: Support company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes

Models: Help maintain and extend our bottoms-up revenue model across GTM motions and products, track and report actuals vs variances, and surface insights

Systems: Assist with FP&A software implementation and additional finance systems (ERP, procurement)

Reporting: Partner with accounting and data on monthly revenue reporting, ensuring product- and customer-level breakdowns are accurate and usable

Visibility: Build dashboards giving leadership real-time visibility into key performance metrics vs plan and forecast

Make the data usable: Go into the data (e.g. BigQuery), spot what’s wrong, and drive it to a fix with the right people; we’re a lean team without a dedicated analyst, so this is core to the job

Automate: Use AI tools to automate recurring financial workflows

Qualifications/Nice to haves:

4-6 years of experience across investment banking, private equity or strategic finance at a fast-growing startup

Able to read and troubleshoot data and validate metrics independently. You don’t need to hand-write SQL, but you must read a table, find what’s wrong, and problem-solve it

Working knowledge of accounting concepts (billings, deferred revenue, AR, rev rec) and able to translate them for non-finance stakeholders

Strong financial-modeling skill; can distill complex data into clear, actionable insights

Strong cross-functional communication and influencing skills

Resourceful, low-ego, high-urgency, and genuinely excited to operate in a fast-changing AI startup with evolving processes

Experience in AI, cloud, or large-scale computing infrastructure

Experience implementing a modern FP&A tool

Track record of building/using AI tools to automate financial workflows
