Laurel AI is hiring its first Controller, a foundational role reporting directly to the CFO at a pivotal moment in the company's growth.
We've built significant market traction, delivered exceptional growth, and are now expanding into a substantially larger opportunity as we evolve from a category-leading time intelligence platform into a broader enterprise workflow intelligence business. This is the moment that defines the next chapter, and the Controller will help build the financial infrastructure that gets us there.
This is not a role where you inherit someone else's playbook. You'll architect the accounting function from the ground up, designing scalable processes and controls, implementing best-in-class systems, and helping define what an AI-native finance organization can actually look like at scale.
What you'll own:- All accounting operations and close processes
- Scalable accounting policies, controls, and reporting infrastructure
- Audits and external accounting partner relationships
- Process automation and AI-enabled efficiencies across the finance function
- Building and developing the future accounting team
- Strategic partnership with the CFO and executive leadership on fundraising readiness, operational scaling, and long-term public company preparation
Who you are:You're a builder, not a maintainer. You're energized by ambiguity, thrive on creating structure where little exists, and want real influence over how a high-growth company operates. You're excited, not intimidated by the opportunity to rethink traditional finance processes using AI and automation. And you want to do it at a company that has the potential to be a category-defining leader in its space.
Why join Laurel:- To date, we've secured significant funding from renowned venture capitalists (Google Ventures, IVP, Anthos, Upfront Ventures), as well as notable individuals like Marc Benioff, Gokul Rajaram, Kevin Weil, and Alexis Ohanian
- A smart, fun, collaborative, and inclusive team
- Great employee benefits, including equity and 401K
- Bi-annual, in-person company off-sites, in unique locations, to grow and share time with the team
- An opportunity to perform at your best while growing, making a meaningful impact on the company's trajectory, and embodying our core values: understanding your "why," dancing in the rain, being your whole self, and sanctifying time
If you think you'd be a good fit for this role, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't perfectly match all the bullet points in the job description. At Laurel, we strive to create an inclusive culture that encourages people from all walks of life to bring their unique, diverse perspectives to work. Every day, we aim to build an environment that empowers us all to do the best work of our careers, and we can't wait to show you what we have to offer!
