About The Position

Panax is a well-funded Series A Fintech startup based in Tel Aviv and New York. Our mission is to help companies transform complex cash management into a strategic opportunity, enabling finance teams to control, optimize, and elevate financial performance across borders. We’re building a next-generation cash flow management platform that empowers finance teams with the clarity and tools they need to lead with confidence.

We’re looking for a hands-on Financial Controller to lead accounting operations, drive financial planning, and scale processes and systems across the company. You’ll work closely with the VP Finance and cross-functional teams, delivering accurate financial reporting, actionable insights, and supporting strategic growth. While this is initially a hands-on, execution-driven role, as the company grows you’ll gradually take part in building and mentoring a finance team, and play a larger role in strengthening financial governance, investor reporting, and strategic decision-making.

Responsibilities:

Financial Operations & Reporting:

• Own and manage day-to-day accounting operations (GL, AR, AP, and revenue recognition).
• Work closely with the external bookkeeping team to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant financial records.
• Ensure full compliance with US GAAP and ASC 606 SaaS revenue standards.
• Lead monthly and quarterly close cycles, delivering accurate and timely financial statements.
• Support external audits, tax filings, and statutory reporting.
• Assist with developing and enforcing internal controls and scalable accounting policies.
• Lead the enhancement and integration of financial systems, with ownership of Priority ERP.
• Drive continuous improvement in accounting workflows and financial visibility.

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A):

• Partner closely with the VP Finance on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Translate financial data into strategic insights that drive growth and efficiency.
• Build and maintain robust financial models in Excel and other tools to support decision-making and scenario planning.
• Build and monitor SaaS KPIs and operational dashboards.
