The role is for a Finance Analyst in New York City to support financial planning, analysis, and reporting, working closely with the CEO.
Requirements
- 0–3 years in finance (startup/fintech, banking, or Big 4 with startup exposure)
- Extremely strong in Excel/Google Sheets; comfortable building models from scratch
- SQL or similar data skills are a plus (you can pull and clean your own data)
- You care about accuracy, deadlines, and clean, audit-ready work
- You think like an operator: bias to action, comfortable with ambiguity, happy to build from zero
- Excellent written and verbal communication; you can explain numbers to non-finance founders
- You want to be in-person in NYC and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO
Other
- Thera is building the financial OS for modern SMBs, one system for payroll, payments, treasury, spend, accounting, and docs. We’re a small team backed by YC, shipping fast and actually enjoying it.
- This role is for a curious, numbers-obsessed analyst who wants to sit next to the CEO and help run the company.
- We help modern SMBs and startups run their finances end to end: payroll, payments, treasury, spend management, accounting, and more in a single system. Customers use us daily to move real money and run their businesses.
- Location: New York City (in-person, 5 days/week)
- Employment type: Full time
- Department: Finance & Accounting
- Compensation: Estimated base $65K–$80K + 0.01%–0.25% equity (depending on experience)
- You’ll be the analytical backbone of finance and a direct partner to the CEO.
- Own monthly close support: reconciliations, flux analysis, variance reports
- Build and maintain cash forecasts and liquidity plans (daily/weekly/monthly)
- Model unit economics and run cohort analysis across products and segments
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning with department heads
- Prepare investor and board reporting packs (metrics, KPIs, commentary)
- Build financial dashboards and self-serve reporting for leadership
- Help design simple, scalable finance processes as we grow
- You’ll work directly with the CEO and founders, and your work will directly shape hiring, product, pricing, and capital decisions.
- You want a purely compliance/audit role with little business partnering
- You prefer slow, heavily process-driven environments over early-stage startups
- You’re not willing to be in-person in NYC
- You work directly with the CEO and help shape how finance scales as we grow
- Your analysis directly influences product, pricing, hiring, and capital decisions
- You’ll help build a finance function that feels like a competitive advantage
- Backed by YC, 10X Founders, Zillionize, and Amino Capital
- Team hotpot lunches are a real thing. You’ll be expected to have strong opinions on broth and finances.
