Strategic Finance Associate

New York, NY

About the Role

Behind many of life’s most important transactions — buying a house, applying for a mortgage, getting a small business loan, or refinancing a credit card — is a network of credit relationships. 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 Head of Strategic 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 who thrives with autonomy and enjoys owning complex projects end-to-end
  • A structured thinker who can bring clarity to ambiguous problems and communicate clearly with stakeholders
  • A sharp analyst who loves digging into data and building financial models that drive key decisions
  • A cross-functional collaborator who enjoys working closely with sales, operations, product, and engineering teams
  • A builder who’s 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

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
