Job title
- Financial & Operational Analyst
Role summary (what success looks like in 6–12 months)
You’ll be the “numbers + operations” right hand supporting HYT (fund/investment + business finance) and Gawk (operations-heavy sites/vendors/contracts). In the first 6–12 months, success looks like: clean, reliable weekly cash visibility, a repeatable month-end close and reporting cadence, site/vendor cost transparency (CapEx/OpEx, accruals, contract terms), and tight tax/audit coordination (1099/W-9 hygiene, PBC readiness, basic control discipline). You’re pragmatic, fast, and accurate—able to turn messy inputs into decision-grade outputs without creating bureaucracy.
Responsibilities (10–14 bullets total):
Finance (FP&A, cash, month-end close support, reporting)
- Own weekly cash reporting across entities: balances, inflows/outflows, near-term commitments, and variance vs plan.
- Build and maintain rolling 13-week cash forecast; flag risks early and propose actions (timing, cuts, re-forecast).
- Support month-end close: invoice coding, accruals, reconciliations, schedule tie-outs, and management reporting.
- Maintain simple but rigorous budget vs actuals and unit economics (by site/project/strategy); explain drivers.
Ops analytics (site/vendor metrics, procurement/inventory, cost tracking)
- Track site-level P&L and cost drivers (power, hosting/O&M, repairs, logistics); create “what changed” narratives.
- Manage vendor invoice workflow: match contracts/POs, verify rates/terms, resolve discrepancies, and prevent duplicate/incorrect payments.
- Build vendor spend model and procurement tracker (pricing, lead times, SLAs); identify savings and standardize vendors where sensible.
- Maintain inventory / asset tracking (equipment, spares, critical parts) and link movement to projects, downtime, and cost.
Tax/audit support (1099/W-9, sales tax concepts, audit PBC lists, SOC/controls basics)
- Run W-9 collection + 1099 readiness (vendor classification, tracking thresholds, clean records for year-end).
- Coordinate with CPA/auditors on sales/use tax concepts (where relevant), basic nexus awareness, and audit/PBC requests; maintain a “ready room” of schedules, support, and controls evidence.
Cross-functional (founder/CoS support, ad-hoc analysis, process improvement)
- Execute founder/CoS requests: quick-turn deal, contract, or pricing analyses; produce clear recommendation memos.
- Improve workflows: lightweight SOPs, templates, and controls (approvals, documentation, spend rules) that reduce rework.
Required qualifications vs preferred qualifications
Required
- 2–5+ years in finance ops / FP&A / investment ops / accounting support, ideally in a small, fast-moving environment.
- Strong hands-on Excel/Google Sheets skills (models, pivots, lookups, clean structure, error checks).
- Working knowledge of US tax + audit practices: W-9/1099 flow, basic sales/use tax concepts, and how audits/PBCs work.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous workstreams end-to-end: intake → analysis → decision → follow-through.
- Clear written communication: can produce concise updates and explain variance drivers without fluff.
Preferred
- Exposure to asset management, infrastructure/energy, data center, mining, or operations-heavy businesses.
- Familiarity with accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks/NetSuite/Xero) and AP tools (Bill.com, Ramp/Brex, Expensify).
- Experience building dashboards (Looker/Power BI/Tableau/Metabase) and/or basic data work (SQL).
- Comfort with contracts and commercial terms: rate cards, SLAs, pass-throughs, change orders.
- Python optional (automation, reconciliation scripts).
