Job Details
We are seeking an Assistant Controller to lead our accounting operations and establish strong processes as we continue to scale. In this hands-on role, you’ll oversee the monthly close, billing, accounts payable/receivable, and other core accounting functions to ensure accuracy and consistency across the business. You will work closely with the VP of Finance and leadership team, playing a critical role in building the foundation of our finance function and offering a clear path for career growth into a Controller role.
To thrive in this role, you should bring a strong accounting background with experience in B2B SaaS or high-growth technology companies. A bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance is required, and a CPA is strongly preferred. This position reports directly to the VP of Finance and offers high visibility across the organization, including regular interaction with company leadership and external stakeholders.
What You'll Do
Own core accounting operations — lead the monthly close, prepare reconciliations, and manage AP, AR, billing, and payroll to ensure accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting.
Strengthen processes and controls — establish scalable accounting policies, implement best practices, and maintain compliance across reporting, tax, and audit requirements.
Be hands-on and solutions-oriented — roll up your sleeves to execute journal entries, billing runs, and reconciliations while driving improvements in systems and workflows.
Partner with finance leadership — collaborate closely with the VP of Finance on building a best-in-class finance function, providing accurate data and insight to support decision-making and long-term growth.
What We're Looking For
CPA license and/or bachelor’s degree in accounting/finance with 3–8+ years of progressive accounting experience.
Strong accounting foundation with experience in core processes such as monthly close, reconciliations, billing, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll.
Deep understanding of U.S. GAAP, financial regulations, and compliance requirements, including ASC 606.
Experience in SaaS or technology businesses, ideally PE-backed or high-growth.
Exposure to external audits and M&A integration, with the ability to prepare audit-ready financials and support post-deal accounting work.
Familiarity with modern finance tools such as QuickBooks, Stripe, Ramp, and Carta, with the ability to adapt quickly to new ERP platforms.
Hands-on and detail-oriented, comfortable rolling up your sleeves in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Clear communicator who can work cross-functionally and build trust with leadership, auditors, and external partners.
