About the Opportunity
We are building an AI-powered RegTech platform designed to help fintech companies anticipate, interpret, and resolve cross-jurisdictional compliance risk before it becomes a business constraint.
The platform continuously ingests global regulatory developments, applies advanced AI and predictive analytics, and delivers forward-looking compliance intelligence and mitigation recommendations. The objective is to replace static compliance tooling with a dynamic, scalable system built for modern financial institutions operating across borders.
We are seeking a
US-based CFO & Co-Founder
to build the company’s financial architecture, capital strategy, and institutional credibility from inception.
This Role Is for a Founder, Not a Job-Seeker
This is an
equity-only co-founder position
. There is
no salary
at this stage.
This role is intended for a founder-caliber finance executive who wants meaningful ownership in what they build. The right person is prepared to commit fully, help finance the journey where appropriate, and operate as a true co-founder rather than a conventional employee.

• Build the financial model, capital plan, budgeting discipline, and operating forecasts
• Lead fundraising preparation, investor materials, financial storytelling, and diligence readiness
• Partner with the CEO and founding team on capital allocation, growth planning, and strategic decision-making
• Establish financial controls, governance processes, reporting cadence, and KPI discipline
• Support pricing strategy, revenue model design, and enterprise financial planning
• Prepare the company for institutional investors, strategic partners, and future board-level scrutiny
• Oversee legal-entity, finance, compliance, and risk coordination in partnership with external advisors
• Help shape a capital-efficient operating structure suited to an early-stage venture in a regulated market
• Serve as a credible finance voice with investors, partners, and senior stakeholders

CFO, VP Finance, Head of Finance, or finance leader in a high-growth company
• Strong background in
B2B SaaS

fintech, RegTech, financial infrastructure, enterprise software, payments, banking, or other regulated sectors
• Demonstrated experience in fundraising, investor relations, financial planning, and strategic finance
• Strong command of financial modeling, scenario planning, unit economics, and capital strategy
• Experience building finance processes and governance frameworks in early-stage or scaling environments
• Strong understanding of enterprise SaaS metrics, recurring revenue models, and capital-efficient growth
• Familiarity with regulatory, compliance, risk, or financial-services operating environments is highly valuable
• Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on in a lean, high-accountability startup environment
• Executive maturity, strong judgment, and the credibility to operate as a true co-founder
What Makes This Role Compelling
• Opportunity to help build a company at the intersection of
AI, fintech, and global regulation
• Founding-level ownership with direct influence over capital strategy, financial structure, and long-term enterprise value
• A meaningful role in shaping investor readiness and strategic discipline from day one
• Exposure to a real and expanding enterprise pain point driven by international fintech growth and regulatory complexity
• Potential to help build a highly defensible and institutionally credible venture from the ground floor
Who This Role Is Best For
• A founder-minded finance executive who wants to
build and own
, not simply report
• A senior operator who understands how to finance innovation with rigor and discipline
• Someone comfortable operating in ambiguity while maintaining high standards of analytical precision
• A leader who sees financial architecture as a strategic advantage, not an administrative function
Please Do Not Apply If
• You are looking for a salaried CFO role
• You are not prepared for founder-level commitment and accountability
• You prefer a narrow corporate finance seat rather than broad company-building responsibility
• You are uncomfortable with equity-first economics and early-stage execution intensity
Preferred Executive Strengths
• Strategic finance and capital planning
• Fundraising and investor communications
