VP, Finance

The Role

Hone is looking for a VP of Finance to join our growing team. This role will report to the COO and will build and scale the financial foundation of the business. You’ll be a key strategic partner to the executive team—owning core finance operations while elevating planning, decision support, and financial discipline across the business.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and enjoys both strategic thinking and tactical execution. You’ll be responsible for owning core financial operations while partnering closely with leaders across the company to drive informed decision-making, operational rigor, and sustainable growth.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead company-wide FP&A: own forecasting, budgeting, long-range planning, scenario modeling, and performance management cadence
• Drive executive decision support: translate financial and operational signals into clear, actionable insights (growth efficiency, margin, cohort/unit economics, staffing, etc.)
• Direct cash and capital planning: proactively manage runway, working capital, and key levers; support fundraising strategy and investor diligence as needed
• Upgrade financial reporting: build the reporting package for leadership and the board (KPIs, dashboards, variance narratives, and operating metrics)
• Oversee close and accounting partnership: ensure a reliable monthly close process and strong partnership with external accounting/tax/audit firms (and/or internal accounting resources as the org grows)
• Build scalable processes and controls: improve policies, internal controls, and finance workflows to support growth (vendor contracts, expense management, approvals, revenue/COGS clarity, etc.)
• Own finance systems and tooling roadmap: evaluate and implement systems that enable scale (planning tools, reporting automation, BI integrations, improved data hygiene)
• Build and develop the finance function: hire and manage talent over time (or lead/coordinate contractors/outsourced partners initially), establishing high standards and a culture of accountability
• Partner cross-functionally with different departments to ensure financial rigor is embedded in day-to-day decisions
