Head of Finance

Bastion is hiring a Head of Finance to build scalable finance systems, processes, and infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role where you own the numbers end to end: from month-end close to regulatory filings to the financial models that inform how the company allocates capital and prices its products. You report to the COO.

What you'll do

• Immerse yourself in Bastion's financial infrastructure and regulatory reporting obligations, understanding what gets filed, when, with which regulators, and who currently prepares each submission
• Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to understand the regulatory landscape driving your reporting obligations and how the regulatory environment is expected to evolve
• Review and improve the current FP&A cadence: how budgets are built, how actuals are tracked against plan, and where visibility gaps exist for leadership and department heads
• Run the month-end close process and drive improvements to reduce cycle time, improve accuracy, eliminate manual workarounds, and establish a predictable close calendar
• Take ownership of all regulatory reporting: ensure every filing is accurate, complete, and submitted on time, with documented review and sign-off processes that don't depend on a single person's institutional knowledge
• Build the FP&A rhythm the business needs: monthly budget-vs-actual reporting, department cost allocation, variance analysis, and financial visibility that leadership currently lacks
• Own the annual planning process: build the financial model, facilitate department-level budgeting, and produce the plan that connects revenue targets to headcount to burn rate to runway
• Prepare the finance function for increasing regulatory complexity: as the company's regulatory footprint expands, ensure that reporting capabilities, controls, and processes scale ahead of requirements
• Develop your team: assess capabilities, identify gaps, make hiring recommendations, and build the finance organization the company will need over the next 12-18 months

What you bring

• Deep experience living inside the details of accounting and financial reporting
• Ability to zoom out and drive strategic financial planning, build FP&A capabilities, and partner with leadership on capital allocation and pricing decisions
• Comfort with reviewing journal entries, building customer-level P&Ls and pricing models, and presenting financial analysis to the board
• Proven track record in a hands-on leadership finance role at a startup or high-growth company

Nice to have

• Experience in highly regulated industries, particularly financial services
• Familiarity with NYDFS trust charter requirements and regulatory reporting obligations

What we offer

• A preference for the role to be based in New York City, though we are open to candidates across the United States
