Finance Manager

Company Description

Profitian is a boutique full-service financial firm dedicated to providing startups with a complete internal finance function through an insourced model, avoiding the need for full-time overhead. Specializing in early- and growth-stage tech companies in Israel, the United States, and beyond, our embedded finance professionals work within client teams as finance partners rather than external consultants. Covering the full financial stack—from cash flow management and budgeting to tax compliance and strategic reporting—Profitian integrates seamlessly into organizations to deliver tailored financial solutions. With a global presence in Tel Aviv and New York, we offer personalized relationships and long-term partnerships to help businesses scale effectively and build permanent finance teams.

Be the Finance Partner for the Next Generation of Startups.

If you are a finance leader with a startup mindset, strong interpersonal skills, and the ambition to be part of something being built from the ground up – we would love to meet you.
