We're growing fast and expanding product and revenue lines. We're looking for a hands-on yet strategic Controller to lead our accounting function, support financial infrastructure at scale, and serve as a key partner to the SVP as we move toward investor-grade financial operations.

What You'll Do

Own and Scale Core Accounting

• Lead all accounting operations: GL, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, consolidations, and equity accounting.
• Drive timely and accurate monthly closes and prepare internal and external financial statements under US GAAP.
• Oversee complex fintech accounting streams, including interchange, deposit interest, SaaS fees, and lending.
• Design and maintain internal controls for external audits and eventual SOX compliance.

Build Scalable Infrastructure

• Own and improve our accounting systems; manage third-party integrations
• Partner with Product and Engineering to automate financial workflows - including revenue data pipelines, ledger mapping, and reconciliations.
• Ensure audit-traceable processes for high-volume, tech-driven financial data.

Finance Business Partnering

• Work closely with FP&A to align financial reporting with operating metrics and forecasts.
• Support board and investor reporting - including gross margin tracking, cost structure analysis, and scenario planning.
• Lead technical accounting memos for complex arrangements, such as embedded finance, multi-entity structures, or vendor contracts.

Compliance and Audit

• Lead external audits and coordinate with tax, legal, and compliance teams on filings and regulatory requirements.
• Prepare for future SOX and public company standards (as applicable).
• Stay current on evolving fintech regulation and accounting treatments (e.g., ASC 606, Fair value etc.).

What You'll Bring

• 10-15 years of accounting/finance experience, including:
  
  • Public accounting background (Big 4 strongly preferred)
  • Leadership in a high-growth fintech or payments company, ideally Series B-D stage
  • Strong familiarity with product-linked revenue (interchange, lending, deposits, fees)
• CPA required; deep knowledge of US GAAP and fintech-relevant standards
• Proven success building accounting teams, processes, and systems in a scale-up environment
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence senior stakeholders
• Systems-oriented: experience with NetSuite, Looker, Ramp, Stripe, Mercury, or similar tools
• Comfort navigating uncertainty in fast-moving product-led environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with multi-entity consolidation and international expansion
• Exposure to SOX, IPO readiness, or public company audit cycles

Compensation:

• $200,000 - $250,000
