## Job description

## About Bobyard

Construction is a $10 trillion industry that still runs on manual work. Contractors measure and count materials off drawings by hand, and it takes forever. Bobyard uses AI to automate takeoffs and estimates so bids get done 10x faster. We're Series A, backed by 8VC, Primary, and Pear, and we're growing fast.

## About the role

Our finance team is small, and the company is growing quickly. You'll get in on the ground floor of a rapidly scaling startup as the first Finance Operations hire, reporting directly to our Finance Lead and working in tandem with company management to manage critical finance systems and processes supporting our growth. You'll run the day-to-day Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and the inputs that bring accuracy, clarity, and efficiency to our month-end close. Attention to detail, clear communication, and routine process ownership are a must in this dynamic startup environment. As the team grows, you'll take on bigger projects in fundraising, billing systems, and scaling the finance function.

## What you'll do

- Accounts Payable: bill processing, managing approvals and setting limits, issuing cards, vendor tracking, and coding spend across the organization to ensure high-quality reporting for decisions making
- Accounts Receivable and Collections: invoicing hygiene, ensure timely billing, manage AR aging,, navigate customer contract terms, and execute customer follow-up as needed,
- Review transactions weekly and flag anything that looks wrong, before it becomes a problem at close
- Prepare month-end close inputs and reconciliations for our outside accounting team
- Operate our billing and quote-to-cash tools (Stripe, HubSpot, and our billing platform), and help improve how they connect
- Keep the finance calendar across payroll, AP, collections, tax, and reporting deadlines
- Support fundraising and diligence with clean data, documentation, and analysis

## What we're looking for

- 2–5 years in accounting, finance operations, or startup finance
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Hands-on accounts payable and accounts receivable experience. You've run it yourself, not just supported it.
- Admin experience with a spend management platform (Ramp/Brex preferred)
- A solid understanding of accounting basics: accruals, reconciliations, and revenue vs. cash
- Extensive experience building and managing spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets)
- Detail-oriented and fast. You catch the duplicate invoice without slowing the payment run down.
- You enjoy doing the work at a startup. You'll chase a receipt, fix a broken process, and still deliver the bigger project.

## Nice to have

- Experience with billing tools like Stripe, Tabs, or Chargebee
- Worked through a fundraise, audit, or diligence process
- Experience at an outsourced accounting firm or as an early finance hire at a startup
- Built a cash forecast, AR dashboard, or spend analysis that changed a decision

## What we offer

- $95K–$120K base + equity + bonus
- Medical, dental, and vision, and a 401(k) with a 100% match up to 4%
- A direct line to our Finance Lead and leadership, and a path into fundraising and strategic finance work
- On-site in SF at 101 Second Street. We build together

Comp Philosophy Cash for stability. Bonus for performance. Equity for ownership. Your package reflects your role, your experience, and what you deliver.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Bobyard provides an AI-powered platform that automates construction takeoffs and cost estimates for trades like landscaping, electrical, and HVAC, helping contractors bid faster and more accurately.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Michael Ding

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Construction Technology (ConTech), AI-powered Software
- **Target customers**: B2B; General contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trade businesses in landscaping, electrical, mechanical, flooring, and other construction sectors.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To revolutionize the construction industry by automating the takeoff and estimation process, making it 10x faster and eliminating costly mistakes.

## Products & Services
- **Bobyard Platform (AI-Powered Takeoffs & Estimates)**: A SaaS platform that uses Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to automate the quantification and measurement of construction plans. Features include:
    - **Auto Count**: Instantly detects and counts symbols for planting, irrigation, and electrical work.
    - **Auto Area Measurement**: Automatically measures materials like pavers and concrete.
    - **Auto Length Measurement**: Measures beds, edges, and hardscape in seconds.
    - **Database & Vendor Quotes**: Tracks historical costs, vendor quotes, and assemblies.
    - **Custom Templates**: Adaptable formulas for specific business workflows.
    - **Flexible Exports**: Generates clean, professional estimates.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding raised of **$38.6M** across two rounds.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: 8VC (Lead investor in Series A), Pear VC, Primary Venture Partners. Partners with the "Disruptors" to empower landscape leaders.
- **Growth Signals**:
    - **Massive Headcount Growth**: 37 employees as of mid-2026, representing a **+562.5% year-over-year increase** [linkedin.com]. Monthly headcount growth is **+23.3%** [linkedin.com].
    - **Active Hiring**: 26 active job postings, with a **+2500% year-over-year increase** in job postings [linkedin.com].
    - **Product Expansion**: Launched "Bobyard 2.0" in April 2026 and a new "Electrical Takeoff Product" in June 2026, signaling expansion across multiple trades [tracxn.com].
    - **Customer Results**: Customers report **65% faster takeoffs**, a **20% revenue increase**, and **5x bid volume** [bobyard.com].

## Competitive Advantages
- **Focus on "Trades"**: Unlike general construction software, Bobyard is specifically tailored for the needs of landscapers, electricians, and mechanical contractors, providing specialized features like auto-counting of irrigation symbols.
- **AI-Native**: Built from the ground up with Computer Vision and NLP, offering a level of automation (e.g., instant symbol recognition) that legacy takeoff software cannot match.
- **Rapid Traction in a Legacy Industry**: The construction industry is notoriously slow to adopt tech. Bobyard's strong customer testimonials and 562% headcount growth indicate strong product-market fit in a massive, underserved $12T industry [bobyard.com].

## Strategic Focus
- **Multi-Trade Expansion**: Rapidly rolling out new products for different trades (electrical, mechanical, flooring) to capture more of the construction estimation market.
- **Scaling the Platform**: Moving from a single-use tool to a consolidated "AI Workbench" (Bobyard 2.0) that serves as the central hub for estimation for all types of contractors.

- **Culture & Values**: The company emphasizes "Execution over everything" and "Immediate, outsized impact," promising that your work will shape mission-critical workflows for a $12T industry [bobyard.com].
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Based in San Francisco (HQ) and Menlo Park, California. The careers page states, "We believe in the power of in-person collaboration," suggesting a strong preference for in-office or hybrid work in the Bay Area [bobyard.com].
- **Rewards for Excellence**: Bonuses are tied directly to exceptional performance across all roles, not just sales. High performance is "measured, recognized, and rewarded" [bobyard.com].
- **Perks & Benefits**: Competitive salary, equity options, 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance, free lunch (and dinner for overtime), and the chance to help build a "massive company" [bobyard.com].
- **Growth Trajectory**: For job seekers, a company growing headcount by 562% YoY offers significant opportunities for career advancement and ownership.
