Job description

Job Duties

• We’re looking for an exceptional Controller to own and scale our accounting function—not just manage the close, but drive the operational and technical transformation of accounting across the company
• This is a hands-on role for someone equally comfortable with U.S. GAAP conclusions, NetSuite workflows, and AI-powered automation
• You’ll combine the rigor of an accounting leader with a builder’s mindset and a real willingness to use modern tools to multiply your own impact
• You’ll own the complete accounting function, including the monthly close, financial reporting, accounting operations (AP/AR/billing/collections), tax compliance, audit and controls, and the accounting technology stack
• A core expectation is that you’ll use technology and automation to make our accounting organization more efficient and scalable—designing NetSuite workflows, building cross-system integrations (Salesforce to NetSuite), and automating everything from billing to reconciliations using modern AI tools
• You’ll also lead and develop our accounting team (currently 3 people), establish clear ownership and standards across all accounting domains, and become the primary escalation point for accounting decisions and technical solutions
• By eliminating senior finance’s routine involvement in the close, systems troubleshooting, and operational issues, you’ll unlock their capacity for strategic work
• Review and resolve outstanding close items, reconciliations, and accounting questions
• Debug a NetSuite or integration issue—checking logs, diagnosing the problem, and fixing it or escalating with clarity
• Design and implement an automation to eliminate manual accounting work (invoice matching, reconciliations, reporting, etc.)
• Lead a team meeting on close progress, accounting standards, or process improvements
• Partner with Finance or other leaders on complex technical accounting questions and transactions
• Respond to operational accounting questions from across the company
• Continuously identify bottlenecks in processes and opportunities to build or automate solutions
• At the End of Your First Year, You’ll Have Helped Us
• Own and continuously improve our financial close process, reducing close time and increasing accuracy and team confidence
• Establish a strong, documented control environment that scales with the company and supports future audit and regulatory requirements
• Automate 5-8 meaningful accounting workflows and processes, eliminating hundreds of hours of manual work annually
• Build a knowledgeable, well-documented accounting team where knowledge isn’t concentrated in one or two people
• Transform our accounting technology stack into a modern, integrated system that connects Salesforce, NetSuite, Ramp, and other tools seamlessly
• Own all routine and complex accounting conclusions independently, removing senior finance as the default escalation point
• Establish clear processes and ownership across tax compliance, audit management, AP/AR operations, and accounting systems
• Position the accounting function as a strategic enabler of business growth rather than just a reporting function

Qualifications

• Significant accounting leadership experience, ideally as a Controller or in a comparable senior accounting role
• Comfort with modern accounting systems (NetSuite, Ramp, or comparable ERPs)
• Sound judgment about when to build internally, use automation, engage consultants, or involve engineering
• Willingness to use AI coding tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) as part of your day-to-day work
• Strong U.S. GAAP and technical accounting expertise
• CPA strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to improve processes and systems, not just operate them
• Experience leading audits and working directly with external auditors
• Comfortable working with data, APIs, code, and automation
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, complex environment
