About the role
Senior Finance Manager Sydney, Hybrid First finance hire. Full ownership. Global scale. We're growing internationally, winning enterprise customers, and moving fast. Now we need our first dedicated finance hire to match that pace. You'll build the financial foundations from scratch: scalable systems, clean numbers, and a seat at the table when the decisions that shape Haast’s future get made. About Haast We're not building another legal AI assistant. We're building one of the first agentic systems for enterprise legal and compliance teams that actually automates their manual work. End-to-end. We've transformed compliance from a painful checkbox exercise into a smart, automated workflow, cutting review times by 80% and boosting productivity 4x. Think Canva for design. Atlassian for projects. Haast for compliance.
What you'll own Strategic partner: Sit alongside leadership on investor reporting, scenario modelling, fundraise preparation, and the ad hoc decisions that move the business forward. Financial engine: Working with our accountant, you make sure payroll runs without a hitch, taxes are filed correctly, revenue is booked properly, and month-end close, treasury, invoicing, and board reporting all happen like clockwork. Scalable operations: Build billing processes, treasury management, and expense workflows that hold up as we scale. You think in systems, not spreadsheets. Financial hygiene: Keep a clean picture of where every dollar goes: headcount, R&D, G&A, COGS, with investor-ready cost breakdowns and proper departmental allocation. Own R&D tax incentive claims and our multi-entity, multi-currency obligations. FP&A: Build and maintain a dynamic financial model tied to business drivers. Own Budget vs. Actuals so the business stays on track. Procurement gatekeeper: You're the checkpoint for SaaS sprawl. Identify shadow IT, consolidate duplicate tools, and enforce disciplined purchasing. FX management: With revenue and costs across AUD and USD, you'll own currency risk: optimising conversion timing, managing multi-currency cash positions, and making smart hedging calls as international revenue grows.
