Jana Pendrith

Senior Finance Manager

Finance leader for early-stage startups, Jana builds processes and systems that integrate finance with operations

Jana brings over seven years of experience working closely with early-stage tech companies, from Seed to post-Series C. She’s known for building finance teams and processes from the ground up—and for her knack for integrating finance seamlessly into day-to-day business operations.

Before joining BrightIron, Jana earned her Chartered Accountant designation while at Ernst & Young, where she was recognized with National Honor Roll status for her performance on the Uniform Final Exam (UFE). She’s a graduate of the Schulich School of Business at York University and has since helped countless startups get the financial clarity and infrastructure they need to scale.

Whether she’s building out systems or translating numbers into insights, Jana brings a practical, operations-minded approach to every engagement.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find Jana at the dog park with her rescue pup, Elisa.
