Role OverviewWe're looking for a Corporate Controller to design the control environment, own the full external audit cycle, and compress our close toward public-company standards. This role involves direct exposure to leadership and, as we mature, the board and audit committee.
What You Will Do
Close, Controls & Audit: Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, design and implement the internal control environment, lead selection and onboarding of a PCAOB-registered external audit firm, and build out the internal audit function as the company scales toward IPO readiness.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You've taken a company through an S-1 and SOX 404 implementation before, or operated the close and controls of a public company under PCAOB audit, and you want to build that function again from the ground up. You have a proven record of implementing controls where none existed, and you're comfortable working efficiently against aggressive deadlines.
Requirements
- CPA required; Big 4 or national firm foundation strongly preferred
- 10+ years of progressive accounting experience
- Public-company experience preferred — you've taken a company through an IPO (S-1 process, SOX 404 implementation) or operated the close and controls of a public company under PCAOB audit
- A proven record of implementing controls where none existed — you've built the control environment, not just inherited one
- Demonstrated success compressing close timelines in a growing company
- Experience selecting and managing a PCAOB-registered audit firm
- Experience with SEC reporting requirements and equity/stock plan administration systems
- Manufacturing or hardware experience with inventory and standard costing strongly preferred
- ERP implementation experience
- A hands-on, in-the-weeds operating style — you're as comfortable posting a journal entry as presenting to leadership
- The ability to work efficiently against aggressive deadlines and consistently hit close and audit dates
- Curiosity and drive to apply AI tools to automate and improve accounting processes
Benefits
- Paid time off
- Medical/dental/vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Disability insurance
- 401(k)
- Meaningful equity grant via Employee Stock Options
