Head of Finance - Payments

As the Head of Finance at Breeze, you’ll build and lead the financial operations that power our growth. This is a highly strategic and operational role focused on financial planning, payments infrastructure, unit economics, and scalable financial systems — not traditional accounting management.

You’ll partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to drive company-wide financial strategy, improve operational efficiency, and build the financial infrastructure needed to scale a high-growth fintech business. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments, understands the complexity of payments and money movement, and enjoys turning financial data into strategic decision-making.

We’re looking for a finance leader who can operate as both a strategic partner and hands-on builder — someone comfortable diving into payment reconciliations, forecasting growth scenarios, improving financial visibility, and helping shape the operational foundation of the business.

• Own Breeze’s financial operations strategy, building scalable processes that support rapid growth and operational efficiency.
• Lead FP&A across the business, including forecasting, budgeting, scenario modeling, cash flow planning, and headcount planning.
• Develop financial models and operational dashboards that provide real-time visibility into company performance, margins, and growth drivers.
• Partner closely with leadership on strategic planning, capital allocation, pricing strategy, and long-term financial decision-making.
• Build and optimize payment reconciliation workflows across banking partners, payment processors, fiat/crypto flows, and treasury operations.
• Analyze transaction flows, payment operations, and revenue streams to improve efficiency, reporting accuracy, and unit economics.
• Drive financial insights across product, operations, partnerships, and go-to-market teams to support data-driven decision-making.
• Build scalable KPI reporting across revenue, payment volumes, customer performance, and operational metrics.
• Improve financial systems, tooling, and reporting infrastructure to support scale and automation.
• Support board reporting, investor materials, and strategic finance initiatives as the company grows.
• Help establish operational rigor and financial discipline across a rapidly scaling organization.
• Partner with external accounting firms and auditors while keeping internal focus on operational finance and business strategy.
• Build and lead the finance function over time, including hiring and developing future team members.

• 10+ years of experience across strategic finance, FP&A, operational finance, or fintech finance leadership roles.
• Strong experience operating within high-growth fintech, payments, infrastructure, or transaction-heavy businesses.
• Deep understanding of payment operations, reconciliations, money movement, and financial workflows.
• Proven ability to build financial models, forecasting frameworks, and operational reporting systems from scratch.
• Experience partnering directly with founders, executive teams, or boards on strategic financial decision-making.
• Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset with the ability to translate complex data into actionable business insights.
• Experience building scalable financial processes in startup or hypergrowth environments.
• Comfortable operating hands-on in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Strong communication and cross-functional partnership skills.
• Experience leading finance operations at a startup or being a senior strategic finance leader reporting directly to a CFO or CEO.
• Experience with crypto, stablecoins, payments infrastructure, or treasury operations is a strong plus.
• CPA or traditional accounting background is not required — operational and strategic finance expertise is prioritized.
