Role DescriptionAs Assistant Controller, you'll be a key member of a lean finance team, working closely with the CFO to build and manage the company's core accounting infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment - you'll be both a doer and a builder, establishing processes that will scale with the company while managing the day-to-day close.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow into a Controller role as the company scales.
Responsibilities- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
- Manage and mentor accounting staff (or manage outsourced bookkeeping/accounting resources, if applicable)
- Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statements
- Ensure compliance with GAAP and help establish and maintain accounting policies as the company grows
- Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 across combined hardware, software subscription, and services offerings
- Own deferred revenue and contract balances
- Manage inventory from an ASC 330 perspective.
- Support the CFO in building scalable finance systems, processes, and internal controls
- Manage AP/AR, payroll accounting, and cash management processes
- Support audit readiness and manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and other financial partners
- Help prepare materials for board meetings and investor reporting
- Assist with forecasting and variance analysis
- Evaluate and help implement accounting systems/tools (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, Ramp, Bill.com) to support scale
- Ensure compliance with multi-state tax, sales tax, and other regulatory requirements as applicable
Required Skills- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including some combination of public accounting (Big 4 or regional) and industry experience
- Deep knowledge of GAAP and technical accounting, specifically:
- Hands-on ASC 606 revenue recognition experience at a company selling bundled hardware and software subscriptions, including deferred revenue and allocating price across the pieces of a deal.
- Hands-on ASC 330 inventory + COGS experience at a company selling bundled hardware and software subscriptions.
- Experience owning or heavily contributing to a monthly close process
- Tax experience (income, sales & use, employee withholding, etc.)
- Comfortable operating with limited infrastructure and building processes from scratch
- Detail-oriented with strong organizational and project management skills
- Excellent communication skills - able to work cross-functionally and explain financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders
- Experience with modern accounting/finance tech stacks (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Bill.com, Ramp, Rippling, etc.)
- Prior experience at a startup or high-growth company strongly preferred
- A builder's mindset - energized by ambiguity and the opportunity to shape a function, not just execute in an established one
