Accounting & Controls Manager — Path to Controller

Forum Ventures, LLC; New York (NY); Presencial; USD 110.000 - 165.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Outlast is hiring an Accounting & Controls Manager to own the books end-to-end and grow into Controller. You’ll manage the monthly close, keep the transactional engine clean, handle inventory accounting for physical metal, and oversee cash and lender reporting.

This hands-on role leverages AI-driven automation and will evolve into a more strategic position as the company scales. You’ll report to the VP of Finance and collaborate with a Finance & Strategy Manager.

Formación

• 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a monthly close — calendar, entries, reconciliations, and the deadline.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA strongly preferred.
• Accruals, cutoffs, revenue recognition, inventory/COGS accounting, and internal controls you can apply without looking them up.

Responsabilidades

• Own the monthly close. Run the close calendar end-to-end, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, flux review, and deliver reconciled financial statements on a fixed timeline, every month.
• Keep the books clean every day. AP and AR workflows, bill processing, billing and cash application, expense management.
• Own inventory accounting. Cost per pound, inventory GL integrity, and the reconciliation between our operating platform and the ledger.
• Manage cash and lender reporting. Reconcile bank accounts monthly, monitor daily cash activity, prepare the weekly borrowing base certificate for our credit facility.
• Run payroll, benefits, and taxes. Own payroll accounting and related accruals in partnership with HR, keep payroll liability and benefits accounts reconciled, and coordinate tax filings.
• Build the control environment. Develop, implement, and enforce accounting policies, approval thresholds, and segregation of duties sized for a startup, with workpapers clean enough to hand an auditor or a diligence team without a scramble.
• Run the systems. QuickBooks Online, Ramp, bill-pay, and the integrations that tie them to our platform. You keep the sync honest today and lead the ERP evaluation and migration when we outgrow it.
• Use technology to work smarter. Our AI agent stack already automates a growing share of AP, AR, and close tasks. You’ll supervise its output, extend what it covers, and spend your time on judgment, not data entry.
