Job Description
Role Overview

We'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
