VP, Finance

As Vice President of Finance at Talos, you lead the global finance organization of an institutional-grade digital asset trading platform founded in 2018. Reporting to the COO with a direct line to the CEO and Board, you own the finance function outright as Talos scales into a mature, global enterprise. This is a builder seat where you set strategy, design reporting and controls, and stay hands-on through execution.

What you'll do

• Partner with the CEO and COO to turn operational performance and market dynamics into a long-range financial plan
• Upgrade executive and Board reporting to give clear visibility into weekly, monthly, and quarterly drivers
• Own FP&A, including forecasting, budgeting, unit economics, and scenario modeling across SaaS, data services, and trading volumes
• Communicate strategy and growth metrics clearly to leadership, the Board, investors, and auditors
• Assess and modernize finance systems and core workflows (AR, AP, billing, collections, cash management) using AI and automation
• Optimize working capital and revenue recognition across complex, multi-tiered enterprise contracts
• Oversee global accounting, tax, and statutory reporting under US GAAP and IFRS across US, UK, Europe, APAC, LatAm, and offshore entities
• Manage auditor, tax advisor, and regulator relationships, and build controls, transfer pricing, and governance that scale without slowing the business
• Support capital allocation, fundraising, and M&A
• Lead and grow a finance team of six plus outsourced partners, fostering a meritocratic, low-ego, results-driven culture

What you bring

• 10+ years in finance, including 3+ years leading a global finance and accounting function as VP, Head of Finance, or CFO
• Experience in high-growth, founder-led technology companies
• Strong enterprise SaaS fluency (ARR, NDR, cohort retention, pricing) and capital markets or trading technology knowledge
• Superior FP&A and modeling skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable business guidance
• Solid technical accounting grounding, including revenue recognition, multi-entity and multi-currency consolidation, and Big 4 audit management
• International experience across the US and Europe, ideally APAC, including cross-border tax and treasury
• Track record modernizing finance operations through systems, automation, or AI
• Hands-on approach, comfort with ambiguity, and credibility with founders, investors, and technical leaders
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, New York City
