Founding Head of Finance

About Reducto

Reducto helps AI teams ingest real world enterprise data with state of the art accuracy.

The vast majority of enterprise data — from financial statements to health records — is locked in unstructured file formats like PDFs and spreadsheets. We train vision models to read those documents the way a human would, and make it possible to build products, train models, and automate processes at scale.

We’ve grown incredibly quickly, growing revenue by 7x YOY, and now work with hundreds of companies ranging from leading AI teams (Harvey, Vanta, Scale), through to enterprise (FAANG, top 3 trading firm).

We're raised over 100M from world class investors like A16z, Benchmark, and First Round Capital, and are looking for a Head of Finance to build our finance function and support our next phase of growth.

The Role

We're looking for our first Head of Finance to establish and scale our financial operations through a period of rapid growth. This is a rare opportunity to join as the senior finance leader at a well-funded startup that's already gaining traction with leading AI companies.

You'll work directly with the founders to build a world-class finance function, establish scalable processes and systems, and provide the financial insights needed to make strategic decisions as we scale from mid 7 figures to 8 figures and beyond. This role is perfect for someone who has experienced hypergrowth and is ready to build a finance organization from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Own all financial operations including accounting, FP&A, and strategic planning

• Build and lead financial planning processes including budgeting, forecasting, and board reporting

• Establish robust financial controls, systems, and processes that scale with the business

• Partner with leadership on strategic decisions including pricing, unit economics, and resource allocation

• Manage relationships with investors, auditors, banks, and other financial stakeholders

• Build and scale the finance team as we grow

• Provide data-driven insights that drive business decisions across the organization

• Lead fundraising efforts and M&A activities when appropriate

What We're Looking For

• You joined an earlier-stage startup (Series A-C) and built the finance function through hypergrowth to 100-200+ people

• You saw things break at scale and learned how to fix them—you can look around corners

• You can contribute beyond just finance (e.g., strategic insights, operational improvements, business development)

• Bonus: Experience with SaaS metrics, API-based businesses, or consumption pricing models

This is an in-person role at our office in San Francisco, CA. We're an early-stage company with extraordinary momentum, looking for someone who's excited to build something transformative from the ground up. We need a leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and is ready to capitalize on the remarkable product-market fit we've already established.

About Reducto

Nearly 80% of enterprise data is in unstructured formats like PDFs

PDFs are the status quo for enterprise knowledge in nearly every industry. Insurance claims, financial statements, invoices, and health records are all stored in a structure that’s simply impractical for use in digital workflows. This isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a critical bottleneck that leads to dozens of wasted hours every week.

Traditional approaches fail at reliably extracting information in complex PDFs

OCR and even more sophisticated ML approaches work for simple text documents but are unreliable for anything more complex. Text from different columns are jumbled together, figures are ignored, and tables are a nightmare to get right. Overcoming this usually requires a large engineering effort dedicated to building specialized pipelines for every document type you work with.

Reducto breaks document layouts into subsections and then contextually parses each depending on the type of content. This is made possible by a combination of vision models, LLMs, and a suite of heuristics we built over time. Put simply, we can help you:

• Accurately extract text and tables even with nonstandard layouts

• Automatically convert graphs to tabular data and summarize images in documents

• Extract important fields from complex forms with simple, natural language instructions

• Build powerful retrieval pipelines using Reducto’s document metadata

• Intelligently chunk information using the document’s layout data
