Job description

Mundo AI builds multimodal data infrastructure for frontier research labs and Fortune 100 companies, spanning audio, video, and emerging modalities to 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 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.
• Consolidated financial statements: GAAP-compliant consolidation across subsidiaries, intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation.
• Technical accounting: 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.
• Internal controls: designing approval workflows, expense policy, and segregation of duties appropriate for our size.
• Cash and runway visibility: maintaining accurate, current cash position and burn reporting across currencies.

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 4 - 6 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 accounting systems.
• You have demonstrated experience managing external accounting/tax service providers.
• You have strong written and verbal communication.

Nice to Haves

• 2+ 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.
• CA$120K - $160K with Equity
• 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 wide variety of office snacks and drinks
