Corporate Finance
The Work:
In this Corporate Finance role, you’ll own our core planning and budgeting processes, drive monthly reporting and analysis for our leadership team and Board, and partner cross-functionally on billing operations and financial tooling as needed. You’ll bring structure to the chaos and help unlock financial clarity across Check.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of financial rigor and operational execution, and is excited to grow their scope as we scale.
In this role, you will:
Own the annual planning, budgeting, and forecasting process, working across teams to align on goals, headcount, and spend.
Lead monthly budget vs. actuals (BvA) reviews, track performance vs. plan, and support reforecasting with clear analysis and communication.
Maintain and improve financial models, including OpEx, headcount, and cash flow projections.
Identify and implement process improvements across finance workflows, improving inputs, tools, and reporting where needed.
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to support and streamline billing operations.
Prepare materials for Board meetings and provide performance updates to investors.
Support equity and debt fundraising processes as we continue to scale.
Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have:
5+ years of experience in corporate finance, FP&A, or strategic finance at a startup or tech company.
Strong modeling and forecasting skills; you’re comfortable owning Excel/Sheets models and building tools for others to use.
An effective communicator—you translate financial insights into action for stakeholders across the company.
Detail-oriented and systems-minded, you enjoy improving the processes and tools that power finance.
Experience in high-growth or venture-backed startups, particularly with cross-functional budgeting or billing operations (preferred).
Familiarity with financial systems like Sage Intacct, Cube, or other planning and ERP tools.
We build best when we come together on level ground.
Travel and Office Policy
The Check team is distributed across the US, and we have offices in New York City and San Francisco. While we embrace remote work, we believe time together in person is where we do our best work. We offer ample opportunities and encourage employees to attend team offsites, events, and hackathons a couple of times a year! We expect all employees to attend our annual 3-day company retreat in the fall.
For our in-office and hybrid employees, our offices are open all week. We provide meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the team hosts regular happy hours, game nights, etc.
What we offer:
For full-time employees, Check offers company-sponsored medical, dental, vision, short-term/long-term disability, and basic life insurance coverage, effective on their first day of work. We also provide stock options, flexible PTO and sick leave, 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, flexible return-to-work, 9 annual holidays, a 401k retirement plan, and a $100 monthly stipend for home internet and mobile phone expenses.
The actual annual salary for this role depends on each candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location of work. Most new hires are placed near the midpoint of this range to ensure fairness with our existing team’s compensation.
The expected range in San Francisco, NYC, LA, and Seattle is between $165,000 and $181,500.
The expected range for all other locations is between $140,500 and $154,550.
