Controller, Accounting, Financial Compliance

Atlanta, United States | Posted on 11/03/2026

We're hiring our first US-based Controller to make our books audit-ready and build an accounting function that scales from $40M to $100M+ in revenue. Koantek is a Series B company with multiple legal entities, a growing global footprint, and an offshore accounting team in India. Our data is not yet where it needs to be, and we have never completed a US financial statement audit.

This role owns fixing both. You'll report to the VP, Finance & Accounting and lead our India accounting team. This is a builder role: hands-on in the first year, then shifting toward leadership as the team and systems mature.

Title:

Controller
·

Reports to:

VP, Finance & Accounting
·

Location:

Fully remote (US-based), with regular overlap with India (IST) hours
· Type:
Full-time

Your first-year mandate is a reliable monthly close on trustworthy data, leading to a clean first US audit.

Build a reliable close. Move to a documented close of 10 business days or fewer, then tighten toward 7.

Make the data trustworthy. Partner with Rev Ops, FP&A, and systems owners so revenue, billing, and cost data reconcile to the GL.

Lead our first US GAAP audit. Select and onboard the audit firm with the VP, Finance & Accounting, prepare the PBC list, build opening balances, and drive the audit to an unqualified opinion.

Clean up historical books. Reconcile and restate prior periods as needed. Fix the chart of accounts, entity structure in the GL, and intercompany balances.

Own multi-entity consolidation. Intercompany eliminations, FX translation, and transfer pricing documentation in partnership with tax advisors.

Lead and level up the India team. Partner with our India Accounting Director to set clear ownership, review standards, and US GAAP training across AP, AR, payroll, revenue, and close, so the team produces audit-quality work.
