Cube is on a mission to help every company hit their numbers.

The world has evolved, but business planning has not. Most Finance teams still manage their planning and analysis in spreadsheets, yet the ones who replace them end up going back over 80% of the time. Cube is a cloud-based FP&A platform that helps companies hit their numbers without sacrificing their spreadsheets. 

Cube is backed by top-tier investors such as Battery Ventures and Mayfield. Together, we’re building a culture that challenges and celebrates everyone with a path to growth. That’s where you come in! As we enter our next phase of growth, we believe Cubers are the reason we win.

Note: This position requires working onsite at our New York office Tuesday - Thursday.
