Finance & AccountingFinance Manager

Comfy is growing fast: 4 million users, a fast-scaling cloud business, and a fresh $30M raise. So far we've run finance out of spreadsheets, outsourced bookkeeping, and founder intuition. That's no longer enough.

As our Head of Finance, you'll build the entire finance function from zero. You'll be the senior-most finance person in the company, reporting directly to the founders, and you'll own everything with a dollar sign attached to it — from the financial model and runway to the next fundraise, from the unit economics of a compute-heavy AI business to payroll, accounting, and controls.

This is a true 0→1 mandate. You won't inherit a team, a model, or a playbook — you'll build them. You'll move between boardroom-level strategy and the operational plumbing in the same afternoon, and you'll bring the financial rigor that lets us make sharp, fast decisions as we scale. Every dollar you help us deploy well compounds into Comfy's trajectory.

What We Offer

~1 min read

Have 9+ years across strategic finance, FP&A, and/or accounting — including time at a high-growth startup — and have either been the senior-most finance person or a strong #2 ready to step up and own it.

Have built things 0→1: a model, a planning process, or a finance function from a blank page, not just maintained someone else's.

Are an exceptional modeler who can move from a clean three-statement model to a back-of-envelope answer in a Slack thread without losing rigor.

Are equally comfortable with strategy and the operational plumbing — you'll set the financial direction and also reconcile the books.

Understand usage-based / consumption business models and COGS-heavy economics (bonus: AI, infrastructure, or compute).

Are data-literate — comfortable getting your own answers from the data (SQL or BI a strong plus) rather than waiting to be handed a report.

Operate from first principles with high agency and low ego. You bias toward action, communicate proactively, and own outcomes end-to-end.

Are SF-based or willing to relocate to join our in-person rhythm near Alamo Square.

Nice to Have

Used Comfy or have real familiarity with AI creative tools.

Comfy (https://www.comfy.org) is the AI creation engine for visual professionals who demand control over every model, every parameter, and every output. The most powerful workflow engine for visual AI.

Unlike tools that hide everything behind a prompt box, Comfy lets you connect models, processing steps, and outputs on a canvas where every decision is visible and every step is inspectable. It gives you the building blocks to create workflows nobody's imagined yet, and share them with everyone.

What started as an open-source project in 2023 now has 4 million users, 60,000+ community-built nodes, and 150,000+ daily downloads. It's used by artists, filmmakers, game studios, designers, researchers, and VFX houses, including teams at OpenAI, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ubisoft, EA, and Tencent.

We're a small, intense team in San Francisco. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google, and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem long before working here. Low ego, high ownership. We work hard and demand a lot of each other, but we have fun. Everyone here is building something meaningful that will end up being our life's work.

If this mission excites you and you view yourself as top-tier talent, your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
