Job description

Slip Robotics is at the forefront of robotic automation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform how businesses move goods. Our autonomous platforms redefine efficiency, reliability, and scalability in logistics. We’re a fast-growing team of innovators passionate about helping customers adopt automation seamlessly and successfully.

In this role, you will own accounting operations end to end: monthly close, revenue recognition, cost and inventory accounting, fixed-asset and fleet accounting, multi-entity consolidation, reserves, and internal controls. Build the close process, policies, and documentation that carry the company to audit- and eventually IPO-readiness. Manage the Staff Accountant; partner with the Director of Finance on FP&A and with Operations on inventory and fleet accounting.

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close on a published calendar with shrinking cycle time.
• Establish and document revenue recognition policy for RaaS contracts (ASC 606/842 as applicable), including deployment, billing-suspension, and contract-modification treatment.
• Own fleet accounting: capitalization policy, depreciation schedules, refurbishment treatment, disposition and impairment events.
• Own inventory accounting: standard costs, E&O reserves, cycle-count reconciliation with Operations, and reporting against the inventory exposure cap.
• Own multi-entity consolidation and intercompany accounting as the Mexico subsidiary activates; establish statutory compliance coordination with local providers.
• Build the internal control environment and documentation toward audit-readiness; manage the external audit relationship.
• Own the accounting workstream of the ERP transition, ensuring the chart of accounts, costing model, and controls survive the migration.
• Manage and develop your team.

• 8+ years progressive accounting experience with 3+ years owning a close, ideally as Controller or Assistant Controller in a hardware, manufacturing, or asset-intensive company.
• CPA required. Deep GAAP fluency in revenue recognition and fixed-asset accounting; cost accounting experience in an inventory-carrying business.
• Experience building or substantially upgrading close processes and internal controls.
• ERP proficiency at the administration level (NetSuite strongly preferred).
• Public accounting foundation (Big 4 or national firm) preferred.

Preferred:

• RaaS, leasing, or equipment-as-a-service revenue recognition (ASC 842 lessor or 606 service models).
• Multi-entity and international consolidation, especially Mexico.
• IPO-readiness or public-company reporting experience. ERP migration experience.
• Startup or scale-up environment where the control environment was built, not inherited.

• Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision
• Permissive time off policy
• A small team where your work has direct, visible impact on shipped products

Slip Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on the merits of their experience and their fit for the role. We welcome applicants from every background.
