About Narmi

Narmi is how community financial institutions unlock the very latest capabilities in digital banking and account opening – so they can move faster, tap new growth opportunities, and be where banking is going. Since our founding, Narmi has enabled the movement of billions of dollars and the opening of hundreds of thousands of accounts for banks and credit unions across the US. As a result, our customers have seen meaningful increases in deposits, revenues, and happy customers. In fact, one of the first financial institutions to leverage Narmi was recognized by Bankrate and NerdWallet for providing the #1 digital experience for a bank or credit union in the US.

About This Role

We're hiring our first Controller. You'll own accounting at Narmi end to end. We’ll also ensure you have support to help you do your job.

You’ll work directly with our founders and leadership team on the numbers they use to run the company.

It's also hands-on. We're about 150 people and growing fast. You'll be in the GL, and you'll own the standard and the work behind it.

What You’ll Own

The close and the books

• Month-end and quarter-end close, start to finish
• General ledger ownership
• Financial reporting and GAAP compliance
• Revenue recognition under ASC 606. Our contracts with banks and credit unions are multi-year, with implementation fees and annual escalators.
• Technical accounting memos and the judgment calls behind them

Audit, tax, and compliance

• Own the annual audit end to end
• Tax filings, state registrations, and sales tax
• Internal controls, and building the control environment a company our size should have
• Partner with security and compliance where our financial processes touch SOC 2

Accounting operations

• AP and AR
• Customer billing across our financial institution contracts, including annual increases and true-ups
• Vendor payments and expense reimbursements (we run on Ramp)
• Cash management and account reconciliations

Building the function

• Decide what we run in-house and what we outsource, then make the case for it
• Improve the process and the tooling (close checklist, documentation, systems) so the function scales past you

What You Bring

• 8+ years experience in accounting, CPA preferred
• You’ve run a full monthly close as the person accountable for it, not only as one part of a larger team
• You’ve run an annual audit and been the main point of contact for the auditors
• ASC 606 experience with multi-year software or subscription contracts
• You’ve brought accounting in-house, or rebuilt a close process that wasn’t working
• Clear writing. You’ll explain accounting decisions to people who aren’t accountants, including our founders and our board.

Bonus points

• Fintech, B2B SaaS, or financial infrastructure background
• You’ve been through a fundraise, an acquisition, or audit readiness for a transaction
• You’ve set up or migrated a GL or ERP

This role's expected annual base salary is $160,000 - $215,000. Base salary is only part of your total compensation. In addition to base salary, you will receive an executive level equity option grant, and are eligible for performance-based cash and additional equity bonuses. Compensation included in an offer will be commensurate with the candidate’s skills, experience and geographic location. Compensation ranges for candidates located outside of New York City may differ. You will also receive a full benefits package.

At Narmi, how we work is just as important as what we build. We call this The Narmi Standard:

• High Ceiling: You go beyond the obvious, take initiative, and hold yourself to high standards with care.
• Low Ego: You put the mission above ourselves, share credit freely, and lead with curiosity.
• Alignment to Mission: You believe that helping community financial institutions win against Mega Banks and FinTechs is a worthy endeavor, and will use that belief as a northstar to anchor your efforts to that goal.
• High Commitment: You follow through, roll up your sleeves, and keep the bar high for yourself and others.

We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we actively seek a diverse pool of applicants, including those from historically marginalized groups.
