Full Job Description
About the opportunity

As our Controller, you'll partner closely with our executive team to help build the systems and processes that strengthen the G&A backbone of the company. As an independent subsidiary business of Alarm.com, we have been a part of a public company reporting environment for the past decade, though have been largely operating with a centralized G&A function at the Alarm.com level. We're taking a meaningful step towards a decentralized model at this stage in our maturity and hiring a Controller to report directly to our CEO, with a dotted line to the Alarm.com CFO. The role will blend traditional corporate controllership responsibilities with divisional ones, relying upon and coordinating with Alarm.com finance leaders in areas such as Technical Accounting, Tax, Internal Audit, FP&A, and Investor Relations. This is an opportunity to be on the ground floor of a dedicated finance and accounting movement for a scaling SaaS business within a public company environment.

What you'll do

Accounting Operations
• Drive an efficient and accurate monthly close process and quarterly financial reporting cadence, including identifying opportunities to accelerate close calendars, improve automation, and streamline processes.
• Establish and maintain robust internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure accurate financial records.
• Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting and collections team to strengthen technical skills and business acumen, fostering a culture of urgency, excellence, and problem solving.
• Collaborate with the Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting team at Alarm.com to ensure GAAP-compliant financial records and reporting of complex accounting matters.
• Collaborate with the commercial teams (Sales, Client Success, Client Operations, Partner Solutions) to ensure billing and accounting processes are well-defined and communicated and that all teams are aligned to supporting accounting and billing operations.

Transformation & Business Partnership
• Partner with the Alarm.com Finance Transformation team and IT resources to evaluate, enhance, and automate accounting and billing systems and processes, driving operational efficiency and scalability. Alarm.com will be launching an ERP implementation imminently, and you will be on the frontline on behalf of EnergyHub.
• Build and nurture trusted partnerships with business leaders, demonstrating the accounting function's strategic value and alignment with broader company goals.
• Navigate the complex balance between customer centricity and a growth culture with stewardship of the P&L and public company reporting requirements.

Other duties as assigned.

About You:

• Demonstrated ability to build accounting functions capable of supporting scale and complexity
• Strong command of GAAP, technical accounting, and financial reporting standards
