Job description

Sortly is hiring a fractional Controller to own accounting operations and build controls, close process, and reporting for a scaling B2B SaaS company. This is a hands-on, part-time role focused on ensuring financial data is reliable, timely, and audit-ready.

You will partner with leadership on how the business is measured and leave behind scalable systems and documentation. This is not an FP&A or CFO role; forecasting, fundraising, and board strategy sit elsewhere.

What you'll do:

• Own month-end close and accounting operations with target of closing within 10 business days
• Ensure ASC 606 compliant revenue recognition across subscription, annual, and multi-year contracts
• Design and document internal controls proportionate to company size, including approval flows and segregation of duties
• Evaluate and optimize finance tech stack (GL, billing, spend management, payroll integrations)
• Coordinate India close with local teams and providers
• own consolidated reporting including US GAAP adjustments
• Guide accounting staff through clear expectations, work review, coaching, and constructive feedback

What they're looking for:

• 10+ years in accounting, including at least 3 in a Controller or Assistant Controller role
• Direct experience as controller at a B2B SaaS company, ideally in the $10M-$50M ARR range
• Deep, hands-on command of ASC 606 for subscription revenue, deferred revenue, and SaaS metrics
• Track record of building or rebuilding a close process and internal controls from early-stage baseline
• Strong US GAAP knowledge and experience leading an audit or review
• Comfort being hands-on in the GL; you'll do the work, not only review it
