Role Overview

We are looking for a Controller who has a deep affinity for scaling fast-growing companies to lead our accounting function. In this role, you won't just "run the books"—you will architect the financial infrastructure to support our 200%+ year-over-year growth. This role will be responsible for scaling our core accounting functions including close, technical accounting, controls, compliance, and reporting. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with practical operational leadership. You are as comfortable in the weeds of complex reconciliations as you are partnering with executives on long-term strategy.

Responsibilities

  1. Accounting Operations: Manage all day-to-day accounting operations including AP/AR/invoicing, payroll, tax compliance, and R&D tax credit filings. Own the month-end close process and manage our 3rd party accounting firm to ensure timely closes, accurate reporting, and high-quality deliverables.
  2. AI & Automation: Uplevel our ERP system and implement scalable finance systems to automate invoicing, reconciliation, and procurement to handle our 200%+ year-over-year growth.
  3. Internal Controls: Manage our internal controls and procurement processes.
  4. Truth Seeking: Act as a "truth seeker" for the leadership team, providing granular financial breakdowns and actionable insights that go beyond standard reporting.

Requirements

  1. Experience: 8+ years of accounting experience, ideally in managing and maturing financial processes from Series B/C to later stages. You know what "good" looks like at scale but aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves to get us there.
  2. Technical Proficiency: You likely started your career in the Big 4 and are proficient in all major accounting processes, including any O2C (Order-to-Cash), P2P (Procure-to-pay), H2R (Hire-to-Retire), and R2R (Report-to-Report).
    • A CPA and SOX experience is preferred.
  3. The "Multiplier" Mindset: You are a "player-coach" who wants to get into the weeds, build the spreadsheets, and set the systems up correctly yourself. You have a strong ability to navigate through challenges, multiple tasks, take ownership, and deliver high quality results.
  4. Modern Financial Systems: You have experience implementing financial systems and are comfortable navigating modern data tools (SQL) to validate financial data at the source.
    • You are excited about the frontier of new technology in finance and proactively look for ways to use AI to eliminate "grunt work" in the accounting cycle.
  5. Communication and Collaboration: You have excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization. You thrive in ambiguity and can balance strategic foresight with hands-on problem-solving.
