About 2,000 practices already run on us, and there are more than 100,000 independent practices in the U.S. still to win. We're a profitable, sales-led vertical SaaS company approaching $20M in annual revenue, mostly on monthly subscriptions billed through Stripe. Our teams work out of the Seattle area and our engineering hub in India. The Role We're hiring a Director of Finance to build our finance function and make it stable enough to carry our next stage of growth.

This is a startup role on a lean team, and it's hands-on. You'll set the direction and do the work yourself, from reconciling Stripe payouts to walking the CEO through the monthly numbers. You'll start with outsourced partners and add headcount only when the business needs it. You'll do well here if you've built a finance function at a vertical SaaS company before, you're biased toward action, and you move projects from idea to done without waiting for a perfect plan.
