StartupSphere was founded on a hunch that finance could be far less awful, and Tampa turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. We swap Revenue Recognition and ACA tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

Expect $85,000 - $130,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Tampa feel lighter.

We touched the timestamp today; the Senior Controller hunt continues in earnest.

Whether Cash Flow Management or Interpersonal Skills is your strong suit, this Senior Controller seat has room for both.
