Setpoint is building the critical infrastructure that powers these transactions, helping the world’s leading banks, lenders, and capital providers move with greater speed, trust, and transparency. We’re looking for a Strategic Finance Associate to join our Finance team and serve as a true business generalist. This is not a narrow FP&A role — you’ll partner directly with the VP of Finance and play a critical part in driving company-wide initiatives. From shaping financial strategy to supporting day-to-day operations, you’ll be trusted to take on whatever the business needs most at any given moment. This is a high-impact, highly visible role where no two days look the same. You’ll build financial models, prepare board materials, support cross-functional projects, and step in as a problem-solver for the company’s most pressing priorities. Who Will Love This Job - A self-starter: You thrive with autonomy and enjoy owning complex projects end-to-end. - A structured thinker: You can bring clarity to ambiguous problems and communicate clearly with stakeholders. - A sharp analyst: You love digging into data and building financial models that drive key decisions. - A cross-functional collaborator: You enjoy working closely with sales, operations, product, and engineering teams. - A builder: You're excited about scaling finance at a fast-growing company. ## What You’ll Do - Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, Product, and Engineering to ensure alignment between financial goals and day-to-day execution. - Drive financial visibility by owning reporting, forecasting, KPI setting, and board-ready communications. - Lead strategic projects that require both financial rigor and operational follow-through — from building models to coordinating implementation across teams. - Step into critical gaps in company operations: streamline processes, improve internal systems, and ensure execution on key initiatives. - Act as a force multiplier for leadership by tackling high-priority projects (strategic finance, operations, or special projects) and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. You Should Have - 4-5 years of relevant work experience with at least 2 years in Investment banking or Management Consulting and ideally, 2 years in a high-growth startup. - Strong financial modeling skills and Excel proficiency. - Excellent presentation and communication skills. - Ability to manage multiple priorities and drive projects independently. - Experience partnering with non-finance teams and explaining financial concepts to cross-functional stakeholders. ## About Setpoint Setpoint provides purpose-built capital and technology to asset-backed borrowers and lenders.
