Job description

About Mundo AI

Mundo AI builds multimodal data infrastructure for frontier research labs and Fortune 100 companies. Our work covers audio, video, and other new data types that advance perceptual intelligence. We are hiring a Finance Controller to build and scale our financial infrastructure.

The Role

As a Finance Controller, you will own and build the financial infrastructure of a scaling, multi-jurisdiction startup. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to build processes from scratch, not maintain someone else's system. You'll own and create the end-to-end financial processes including internal financial controls, consolidated reporting, and technical accounting across our entities, while coordinating local tax compliance through external providers in each jurisdiction.

What You Will Own

• Monthly/quarterly close across all entities: building and continuously improving the close process, checklist, and timeline.

• Preparation and review of consolidated financial statements: GAAP-compliant consolidation across subsidiaries, intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation.

• Technical accounting: implement financial reporting standards for revenue recognition, deferred revenue, lease accounting, and other judgment-heavy areas as we scale.

• Board and investor reporting: building the recurring financial reporting package in partnership with leadership.

• External compliance coordination: managing relationships with local accounting/tax firms in each jurisdiction; reviewing their work product, not filing yourself.

• Systems: owning our accounting system and expense/AP tooling (QBO).

• Internal controls: designing approval workflows, expense policy, and segregation of duties appropriate for our size.

• Cashflow forecasting and liquidity management: monitor current and forecasting future cash position and burn reporting across currencies.

• Other ad-hoc responsibilities related to finance and accounting as the company scales and grows.

What This Role Does Not Include

• Filing local tax returns in any jurisdiction (handled by outsourced local providers, which you'll manage).

• Fundraising strategy or investor negotiation.

You Might Be a Fit if

• You have CPA, CA, ACCA, or equivalent professional accounting credentials.

• You have 3+ years experience as a Finance Controller or equivalent roles.

• You have managed multi-entity consolidation.

• You have experience building or substantially improving a close process from a less mature state.

• You have hands-on experience with QBO.

• You have demonstrated experience managing external accounting/tax service providers.

• You have strong written and verbal communication.

Nice to Haves

• 3+ years in audit at a Big 4.

• Prior experience at a venture-backed company between Series A and Series C.

• Experience with 409A-adjacent processes.

• Experience preparing a company for its first audit.

• Exposure to transfer pricing concepts.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.

• Short- and long-term disability coverage.

• Health and Lifestyle Spending Accounts.

• Generous paid time off.

• Weekly team lunches and a wide variety of office snacks and drinks.

• Regular team events and socials.
