Job description

About NetVendor

NetVendor is a B2B SaaS platform property managers trust to reduce risk, strengthen vendor networks, and keep operations running smoothly. Our platform supports the full vendor lifecycle—from compliance and credentialing to maintenance and bidding—helping property management teams operate more efficiently and confidently at scale.

About the Role

We're hiring a Controller to own our accounting function end to end—close, reporting, audit, revenue, and controls — and to evolve how that function runs. This role comes at an important stage in our growth, and we're looking for an accounting leader who can combine hands-on ownership of the close with a forward-looking, AI-first mindset.

Two things set this role apart. First, you'll re-platform us: we run on QuickBooks Online today and have outgrown it, and you'll lead the selection process to choose and implement a modern AI-native general ledger. Second, we expect AI to be how the work gets done as we scale, not a side project — we're a lean finance org and we intend to stay one. Reporting to our CFO, you'll lead our accounting function in supporting a growth business with subscription and usage-based revenue, an established audit, and an engaged private equity sponsor & management team that expects strong partnership and timely, accurate, & defensible reporting.

Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including within a B2B SaaS environment, with at least 2+ years in a Controller, Director of Accounting, or Assistant Controller capacity; bonus points for PE-backed experience
• An AI-first mindset with hands-on experience applying AI and automation to accounting workflows—close automation, reconciliations, anomaly detection, and reporting—and a practical approach to improving team productivity and accuracy; in the interview we'll ask you to walk through what you've built, what it replaced, and how you validated the output
• CPA (or equivalent), with a strong command of US GAAP
• Proven ability to shorten the monthly close cycle through process redesign, automation, and challenging the status quo; a vision for making the one-day close a reality by embracing new tech & AI
• Experience and familiarity with AI-native finance & revenue tools and close-automation platforms; including hands-on experience implementing an ERP - bonus points for AI-native ERP (Rillet, Campfire, etc.)
• Strong track record designing and operating accounting processes and internal controls that scale in a growing organization; you see documentation to the reperformance standard as table-stakes
• Experience owning ASC 606 revenue recognition across a subscription and/or usage-based model, including billing workflows/systems, AR, relevant SaaS metric reporting (ARR, NRR, GRR, etc.), and deferred revenue mechanics
• Comfortable being hands-on and have a genuine interest in running headcount clean in the new age of AI—we're a two-person team and you’ll be in the ledgers until you can automate your way out of them
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear insights and recommendations for finance & the management team
• Comfortable partnering closely with senior cross-functional leaders and operating as a trusted, solution-oriented thought partner
• Experience supporting audits, tax, and technical accounting in a growth-stage SaaS company

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, delivering accurate and timely financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
• Own the accounting function end to end—general ledger, accounts payable, expense management, accounts receivable, payroll, revenue recognition, and reconciliations.
• Design, build, and maintain accounting processes & policies, controls, data governance practices, and workflows that scale with revenue and team growth while balancing accuracy with speed.
• Own revenue recognition under ASC 606, ensuring billing and revenue processes are accurate and audit-ready.
• Ensure accounting systems are practical, usable, and aligned to how the business actually operates.
• Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team, setting clear standards and helping the function mature as NetVendor grows.
• Apply automation and AI to enhance:
  • Close acceleration and reconciliation
  • Accounting ops efficiency
  • Making our internal stakeholders’ lives easier
  • Anomaly detection and exception review
  • Reporting, data accuracy, and team productivity
• Own the architecture and integration of NetVendor's accounting technology stack, with the ERP as the system of record, ensuring tools work together effectively across the finance workflow.
• Identify and implement additional tools and technologies needed to run a scalable, modern accounting operation as NetVendor grows; forward investments in tech versus headcount.
• Own audit, tax, commercial insurance, and technical accounting matters, coordinating with external partners as needed.
• Provide analytical support, insights, and reporting to inform budgeting, forecasting, and operational decisions.
• Support investor and lender reporting requirements in partnership with the VP of Finance and CFO.
• Partner with the Director of FP&A and CFO as trusted thought partners on accounting strategy, systems, and scaling the function.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Revenue Operations, Customer Growth, Data, People Ops, and other departments to ensure alignment on data integrity, processes, and business objectives.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• HSA, FSA, and DCFSA
• Long- and short-term disability insurance
• Free basic life insurance
• Generous paid time off policy
• Paid holidays: 7 per year + 1 floating holiday
