Head of Finance & Ops

Build the financial engine behind Fish Audio's growth, from financial modeling and fundraising to controls, compliance, and operations.

About Fish Audio

  • Fish Audio is building the voice layer for AI-native products - real-time, emotionally expressive speech infrastructure that no longer sounds like AI.
  • Our models power over 7 million creators and developers, along with enterprise customers across AI agents, AI companions, gaming, video, creator tools, and interactive media.
  • We've grown enterprise revenue from $0 to seven figures in under six months with zero churn.

The Role

  • We're hiring the Head of Finance to build the financial engine behind this growth so we can sustain it and accelerate into the next phase.
  • You'll report directly to the CEO and own everything from the financial model to our next fundraise, building a finance function from scratch for the speed we operate at.
  • You'll create the systems and discipline, and the decisions you make in year one will shape how this company scales for the next decade.
  • This is not a maintenance job. You're building from zero across a genuinely complex setup: two distinct revenue motions, usage-based enterprise and consumer/creator, plus a US-Japan corporate structure.

FP&A & Strategic Planning

  • Build driver-based financial models for revenue, costs, margin, and cash flow across both enterprise and creator engines.
  • Own revenue forecasting, hiring plans, runway scenarios, and unit economics.
  • Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting - distill insights and flag risks.
  • Partner with the CEO on budget allocation, investment decisions, and strategic bets.

Capital Strategy & Fundraising

  • Lead fundraising alongside the CEO - modeling, narrative, diligence, investor Q&A, and board communications.
  • Manage cash, treasury, and credit facilities.

Revenue & Monetization

  • Design the financial architecture for usage-based enterprise pricing and consumer/creator monetization, including pricing, contract structures, and deal economics.
  • Establish revenue recognition that is clean, defensible, and scale-ready.

Accounting, Controls & Compliance

  • Build audit-ready financials by 2027 - internal controls, documentation, and reporting infrastructure from scratch.
  • Own month-end close, reconciliations, AP, expense management, and financial controls.
  • Lead US and Japan tax strategy - filings, R&D credits, cross-border obligations, and payroll/EOR.
  • Manage outsourced accounting, tax, and payroll vendors.

Operations

  • Coordinate with legal on contracts, vendor agreements, and compliance.
  • Own HR operations, including payroll and benefits.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years in finance at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
  • End-to-end FP&A ownership: modeling, forecasting, close, and reporting.
  • Strong US GAAP, revenue recognition, and financial reporting fundamentals.
  • Meaningful use of AI tools to redesign finance workflows.
  • Enterprise AI/SaaS experience.
  • Proficiency with QuickBooks Online and strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills.
  • Comfortable moving between strategic analysis and detailed operational execution.
  • CPA, or experience managing outsourced accounting and tax vendors, is a plus.

Who You Are

  • You've built finance from scratch at a company that scaled quickly.
  • You operate at the speed of the business: a board-ready model in a week, a point of view on a $15M decision with imperfect data.
  • You're a strategic partner to the founders, not a service function, and you move between strategy and month-end close without complaint.
  • Bonus: usage-based and consumer subscription economics, US-Japan cross-border operations, and AI/infrastructure companies.

Why Join

  • Be the senior-most finance hire at a rapidly scaling AI company.
  • Work directly with the founder on decisions that shape how the business grows.
  • Join a high-ownership culture where your work has immediate, visible impact.

How to Apply

  • If you're excited to own finance at a company building at the frontier of AI, we'd love to hear from you.
  • Send your resume and a short note on why this role is the right next chapter for you.
