We’re looking for a Controller to lead our accounting, treasury, and audit functions.

  • Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, reserves, and supporting schedules.
  • Own treasury operations: cash positioning, liquidity management, and near-term cash forecasting.
  • Oversee accounts payable (including controls and approvals for wires/ACH), vendor onboarding, and payment runs; balance strong controls with operational efficiency.
  • Manage an accounting/operations team (currently outsourced), as well as external partners (outsourced accountants, tax advisors, auditors).
  • Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Engineering, Ops, Supply Chain, Product, and Marketing / Creative on initiatives with accounting, tax, or treasury impact.
  • Own tax compliance in partnership with internal team and external tax advisors (federal, state, and local income tax, sales/use tax, franchise tax, and other indirect taxes as applicable).
  • Manage bank relationships including revolving credit facility.

About you…

  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting + industry (ideally in e-Commerce, Direct-to-consumer, SaaS, Publishing, and / or other consumer facing businesses with a digital component).
  • Minimum of a BA/BS in Accounting from a top accredited school.
  • Active CPA license highly preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with treasury (cash management, banking, and/or debt facilities) and tax (coordination with external advisors, multi-state, and/or sales tax).
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition (ASC 606) and inventory management (ASC 330).
  • Experience leading audits, building/maintaining internal controls, and comfort working directly with external auditors, tax advisors, lenders, and banks.
  • Prior experience as a Controller or Assistant Controller is highly preferred, although we will consider candidates coming straight out of audit.
