About the RoleAs Financial Controller, you'll own the financial backbone of a company scaling fast. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you'll run our core accounting operations end-to-end while shaping the forecasts, board reporting, and financial systems that guide how we grow. Capital efficiency is core to how Botpress operates - this role exists to make sure our financial operations are as rigorous, automated, and AI-leveraged as the product we build.
Responsibilities- Own the month-end and year-end close, delivering accurate and timely financial statements
- Manage day-to-day accounting operations: revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations
- Automate and streamline finance operations - we expect you to leverage AI tools aggressively
- Lead, mentor, and develop a small finance team (1-2 direct reports), fostering their professional growth and ensuring high-quality output
- Lead annual audits and ensure ongoing compliance with accounting standards
- Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and cash flow models in partnership with the VP of Finance
- Prepare board and investor reporting, including SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, burn multiple)

- Partner with department leaders on spend management, headcount planning, and unit economics
Requirements- 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including 3+ years in a controller or senior accounting leadership role
- Bias toward automation - you'd rather build a system than repeat a task and you have a proven track record of that
- Experience at a high-growth SaaS or startup, with fluency in SaaS revenue recognition and metrics
- Hands-on FP&A experience: budgeting, forecasting, and board-level reporting
- Track record of building or upgrading financial systems, processes, and controls
- Detail-obsessed and deadline-driven, but comfortable with the ambiguity of a scaling startup
- Nice to have: Big 4 or audit background; experience with multi-entity or cross-border operations

- Paid sick and parental leave
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision, travel, and life insurance
