Leaving work to pursue a startup should only happen when you can prove well enough to VC's you're accreting revenues just barely worth investing in (to very worth investing in). If you're sane, I would wait until you can't move forward without some seed/VC and then look around for it- starting with people you know, and familiarize yourself with how funding/ownership/etc works.
You don't need to go through ycombinator, although its very worthwhile, you can just run a startup on the side or quit your job once its up and running.
If your startup is a unicorn, maybe wait a year before quitting your job, so the job market is ripping again when you fail :)
Everyone needs financial controls and financial accountability. No one should be able to spend without cosigners. If you set that up early, it will be in your company's blood. If you don't, you will ALWAYS have a culture of wastage.
