VP, Finance & Accounting in New York, New York at Narmi

About Us
Narmi is how community financial institutions unlock the very latest capabilities in digital banking, account opening, and lending so they can move faster, tap new growth opportunities, and be where banking is going. Since our founding, Narmi has enabled the movement of billions of dollars and the opening of hundreds of thousands of accounts for banks and credit unions across the U.S. The results speak for themselves: our customers have grown deposits, revenue, and customer satisfaction, with one of the first institutions powered by Narmi recognized by Bankrate and NerdWallet for delivering the #1 digital banking experience in the country.
The roleWe're hiring a VP of Finance & Accounting to lead Narmi's finance and accounting organization into its next stage of growth. You'll own the full function: strategic finance, FP&A, accounting, and all areas of compliance. You'll sit on the leadership team and partner directly with the founders and board on the decisions that shape where Narmi goes next. This is a high impact role.
Importantly, you’ve done this before. You’ll get some quick wins on the board and apply your experience to help us scale quickly and avoid mistakes. You’ll bring a seasoned view to our Leadership Team but also a strong execution-oriented attitude.
You'll inherit a mature team, clean books, and a finance function that runs well. Your job is to keep the "running well" part intact while also "setting up for what's next," whether that's continued growth, fundraising, or something bigger.
What you'll ownStrategic Finance & FP&A

• Annual planning, forecasting, and board reporting
• Business partnering with go-to-market, product, and engineering leaders. Specifically on pricing and margin strategies for new and existing products.
• M&A readiness, deal modeling, and diligence support
• Capital strategy and treasury
• Fundraising support and investor relations

Accounting & Controllership

• Month-end close, financial reporting, and GAAP compliance
• Annual audit, tax filings, and 409A process
• Internal controls and audit readiness
• Direct oversight of accounting operations

Team & Leadership

• Manage and develop the FP&A Manager and Accounting Manager
• Assess and build the finance team as Narmi scales
• Set the bar for how finance partners with the rest of the company

What you bring

• 10+ years of finance experience, with direct ownership of both FP&A and accounting/controllership functions
• Prior startup experience in a high-growth and lean environment
• Track record of scaling finance and accounting organizations through a meaningful growth phase
• GAAP fluency and direct experience running an annual audit
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills
• Comfort in a fast-paced, founder-led environment
• History of being a strong partner to go-to-market and product leaders
• AI-native operating style. You use AI as a daily force multiplier. You've automated workflows, built your own tools or agents, and used research tools to compress what used to take weeks into hours. You've kept up as the tools have changed and have opinions about which ones are worth the hype. You don't need a tutorial on prompt engineering. You won't need to be taught AI at Narmi. You'll be teaching us.

Bonus points

• CPA
• Fintech, B2B SaaS, or financial infrastructure background
• Banking or banking-as-a-service exposure
• Public company readiness, IPO, or M&A experience
