About the Controller Role at Our Series B Tech Company
Join a thriving Series B tech company in the heart of New York, New York, United States, as our next Controller. This high-impact position is perfect for a seasoned finance leader ready to shape the financial infrastructure of a rapidly scaling organization. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will oversee all accounting functions, drive strategic financial initiatives, and partner with C-suite executives to fuel business growth. With our company's innovative products disrupting the tech landscape, your expertise will be instrumental in building robust, scalable systems that support our ambitious expansion plans. If you thrive in dynamic environments and have a passion for tech-driven finance, this Controller role offers unparalleled opportunities for impact and career progression.
Why This Role Stands Out
In this Controller position, you'll move beyond traditional accounting to become a strategic advisor. Our fast-paced Series B environment demands innovation in financial operations, from automating processes with cutting-edge ERP systems to delivering data-driven insights that inform multimillion-dollar decisions. Enjoy the prestige of working in New York City's vibrant tech scene while contributing to a company poised for explosive growth.

As Controller, your leadership will touch every aspect of our financial ecosystem. Here's what you'll own:
- Lead comprehensive accounting operations, mastering monthly, quarterly, and annual closes with zero tolerance for errors.
- Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team, implementing training programs that scale with business needs.
- Partner with CEO, CFO, and department heads to deliver actionable financial analysis and forecasting.
- Manage end-to-end audit and tax compliance, liaising seamlessly with Big 4 auditors and tax advisors.
- Spearhead financial system upgrades, integrating tools like NetSuite or Oracle for optimal efficiency.
- Champion process automation and continuous improvements to cut close cycles and boost accuracy.
- Ensure unwavering adherence to US GAAP, SEC reporting, and emerging tech regulations.
- Oversee complex payroll, equity grants, and cap table management for our equity-heavy compensation structure.
- Maintain impeccable general ledger integrity through rigorous reconciliations and controls.
- Drive annual budgeting, long-range planning, and scenario modeling to guide strategic investments.
Required Qualifications
To excel as our Controller, you bring:
- A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration (Master's or MBA preferred).
- 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting/finance, including 5+ years as Controller or Finance Director.
- Proven success in high-growth tech/SaaS environments, ideally Series B/C stage companies.
- Deep expertise in US GAAP, SOX compliance, and technical accounting matters.
- Hands-on experience with financial software (NetSuite, QuickBooks, SAP) and advanced Excel modeling.
- Demonstrated ability to build and lead finance teams through hyper-scaling phases.
- Strong audit management experience with clean opinions from top-tier firms.
- Analytical mindset with exceptional communication skills for executive presentations.
- CPA certification strongly preferred; public accounting background a plus.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States and able to commute to our New York office for hybrid collaboration.
