Hello Patient is hiring a Director of Finance to build and own the financial foundation of a fast-growing Series A healthcare AI company. You’ll be the go-to finance partner for the leadership team — keeping a tight handle on cash and helping us plan thoughtfully as we scale.
As we grow revenue and expand the team, this role will bring structure and clarity to how we operate: cash management, runway planning, forecasting, budgeting, and the financial decision-making that helps us allocate resources confidently. You’ll help us understand where we are today, what’s ahead, and what tradeoffs matter most.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You won’t be inheriting a mature finance org — you’ll help build the core workflows, reporting, and systems that support the business. You’ll own the fundamentals (monthly close, reporting, AR/AP, payroll, cash management) and build the planning muscle we need as we scale (forecasting, runway, headcount modeling, and lightweight budget guardrails). You’ll also bring financial rigor to key decisions like pricing and GTM spend so the company stays focused, healthy, and fundraising-ready.
If you like building, moving quickly, and owning outcomes, you’ll love this role — you’ll help build the finance function that supports Hello Patient as we scale.
What You'll Do
Own Financial Operations
Run day-to-day finance operations: accounting, payroll, AP/AR, invoicing, and monthly close
Partner with external vendors
Ensure clean, accurate, and timely financials
Build Forecasting & Financial Planning
Own cash flow management, burn tracking, and runway planning
Build and maintain financial models for headcount, revenue, and growth scenarios
Help leadership understand tradeoffs and plan ahead with confidence
Partner With Leadership on Strategic Decisions
Work closely with the CEO on budgeting, pricing, and growth decisions
Support board reporting, investor updates, and fundraising preparation
Bring financial rigor to decisions across GTM, product, and hiring
Scale Finance for the Next Stage
Improve processes, tools, and controls as the company grows
Prepare the company for future fundraising, audits, and increased complexity
Be a thought partner on how and when to invest as we scale
What We're Looking For
Must have
6+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or related roles
Experience at a startup or high-growth company (Series A–C strongly preferred)
Strong understanding of cash flow, forecasting, and financial modeling
Comfortable being hands-on — this is not a purely strategic role
Clear communicator who can explain financial concepts to non-finance leaders
Experience supporting venture-backed companies or fundraising
Nice to have
Prior experience in SaaS, healthcare, or B2B technology
CPA, CFA, or finance/accounting background (helpful, not required)
Experience implementing or improving finance tools and systems
Compensation
Base salary: $170K–$200K
Equity: Meaningful ownership in a fast-growing healthtech startup
About Hello Patient
Hello Patient is transforming healthcare communication through advanced conversational AI. Our founding team spent 3.5 years scaling Carbon Health's technology during hypergrowth, where we saw firsthand how much clinical time gets wasted on basic communication—great clinicians buried in admin work, patients stuck in phone tag.
Our AI platform proactively engages patients through perfectly timed calls and texts, resolving complex interactions end-to-end—from scheduling to billing to retention. Built with security and compliance at its core, our technology integrates with existing healthcare infrastructure to deliver 24/7 patient engagement.
Backed by Scale and 8VC, we're building the future of healthcare communication, one conversation at a time.
