Job Description

The Controller will lead the day-to-day accounting and tax operations – the monthly close, reporting across four legal entities in four countries, revenue and cost accounting, tax and internal controls underneath it all. This role is central to building the financial infrastructure, reporting discipline, and controls needed to support a growing multi-revenue-stream technology and services business.

Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will lead a team spanning general accounting, tax, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing — including two direct managers, the Accounting Manager and the Tax Manager. We seek candidates who are hands on leaders, would rather build process than inherit one, are excited about what AI can do to improve workflows and thrive in a fast-moving environment.
