Director of Finance

Position summary

The Director of Finance leads Regara's entire finance function as the company scales. Regara is not hiring a CFO at this stage, so this is the senior-most finance role — both strategic and hands-on. It owns financial planning, accounting operations, reporting, and controllership, builds the metrics discipline an investor-backed SaaS company runs on, and supports fundraising alongside the CEO. The role keeps the numbers accurate, timely, and decision-ready, and builds the finance foundation the company will scale on.

Key responsibilities

• Own financial planning and analysis — the budget, forecast, long-range model, and management reporting.
• Run accounting operations end to end: the monthly close, AP/AR, payroll coordination, reconciliations, and the general ledger.
• Produce accurate, timely financial statements and board/leadership reporting packages.
• Define and track SaaS financial metrics (ARR, burn, runway, CAC, LTV, gross margin, net retention).
• Establish financial controls, policies, and systems appropriate to a growing, audit-ready company.
• Support fundraising with the CEO — models, materials, and diligence — and advise on pricing and unit economics.
• Manage cash, runway, and capital allocation; partner on hiring and investment decisions.
• Oversee tax, audit, and compliance, coordinating with Legal on corporate matters.
• Build the finance team over time as the function grows.

Qualifications

Required

• 10+ years in finance and accounting, including both FP&A and accounting operations, with leadership responsibility.
• Strong technical accounting, controls, and financial-modeling skills.
• Experience running planning, the close, and reporting in a growing company.
• Fluency with SaaS metrics, unit economics, and management reporting.
• Sound judgment and clear, leadership- and investor-facing communication.
• Bachelor's in finance, accounting, or economics; CPA and/or MBA a plus.

Preferred

• Experience in B2B SaaS and/or life sciences, healthcare, or regulated industries.
• Experience supporting fundraising and venture-backed financing.
• Experience in audit-ready environments and at early-stage companies.

What success looks like

Within the first year, Regara has a reliable financial plan and reporting rhythm, closes its books on schedule with accurate statements, maintains controls that pass audit, and has metrics the CEO and board trust — with the finance foundation to support its next raise and continued growth.
