Head of Finance and Strategy at Slash Financial

Slash is building the banking platform for the internet’s most ambitious entrepreneurs. We power >$10B in payments per year and are the fastest growing neobank in the U.S. Our small but extremely high output team has raised $60m from Goodwater, NEA, Menlo, YC, and other amazing investors.

We’re looking for a Head of Finance and Strategy to build, scale, and professionalize the finance function at Slash. This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of high-growth fintech and disciplined financial strategy, with a clear runway to become Slash’s future CFO.

What You’ll Do

• Financial Strategy & Analysis

  • Own company-wide financial modeling, scenario planning, and KPI reporting.

  • Develop and refine cohort analysis, payback periods, unit economics, and margin optimization.

  • Partner with product and growth teams to evaluate ROI on initiatives, customer acquisition costs, and retention drivers.

• Operational Finance & Controls

  • Design scalable financial systems, reporting processes, and internal controls.

  • Build forecasting models that align with regulatory, banking, and investor expectations.

  • Prepare investor-ready dashboards and board materials with precision and speed.

• Strategic Projects

  • Drive capital allocation decisions, pricing strategies, and margin improvement projects.

  • Support fundraising and M&A opportunities with rigorous analysis and due diligence.

  • Serve as a key counterpart to banking partners, auditors, and investors.

• Team & Leadership

  • Build and lead a small but world-class finance team over time.

  • Establish Slash’s finance culture: disciplined, data-driven, and analytical at the core.

  • Scale into the CFO role as Slash grows from Series B to IPO-scale company.

What We’re Looking For

• Background

  • 5–10+ years in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or fintech finance.

  • Experience at a top bank (e.g. GS, MS, JPM) or in a growth-stage startup finance team preferred.

• Skills

  • Absolute mastery of Excel / financial modeling (you live in cohorts, LTV/CAC, and payback math).

  • Strong analytical and quantitative chops—you see the story in the numbers.

  • Comfort with ambiguity, speed, and zero-margin-for-error execution.

  • Deep understanding of unit economics in fintech, banking, or payments.

• Mindset

  • Builder mentality: not just maintaining finance, but creating it from scratch.

  • Ambitious: you want to be a CFO, not just a “head of FP&A.”

  • Relentless precision: you check the math twice and call out sloppy thinking.

Why Join Slash?

• Work directly with the CEO and leadership team on high-leverage finance projects.

• Shape the trajectory of a $370M-valued fintech on its way to becoming a category leader.

• Ownership and upside: significant equity, real responsibility, and a path to CFO.
