Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and addressing the problem of rising compute costs and energy bottlenecks. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications.

We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.

Sygaldry Technologies is seeking an exceptional accounting leader to serve as our Assistant Controller / Controller. This is the first dedicated accounting hire and the number two in finance. You will own the accounting function day to day, including close, controls, systems, and audit, with real autonomy and direct exposure to the leadership team and board-facing work.

You're joining at a genuine inflection point, with the chance to architect the finance stack, building on the tools and processes already in place and introducing new ones as we scale. We recently completed our first external audit, and we are migrating off Quick Books onto a modern GL platform. As the first dedicated accounting hire, you'll build the capacity, controls, and systems a growing, multi-entity hardware company needs: owning and administering the GL, establishing segregation of duties, running the close, handling cost, WIP, and fixed-asset accounting as we scale toward production, and growing into full ownership of the annual audit.

With operations across multiple entities, locations, and currencies, the role carries real international and multi-entity scope.

We're looking for someone who spots when a system or process is holding the team back, makes the case for the change, and has the experience to implement it end to end.

• Finance systems & administration — own and administer the GL and connected finance systems; complete the migration off Quick Books, and proactively identify, propose, and implement system and process improvements as the company scales.

• Cost, WIP & fixed-asset accounting — own inventory and work-in-process for our hardware builds and the fixed-asset subledger for lab and production equipment — capitalization, depreciation, and roll-forwards — scaling the approach as we move toward production.

• Multi-entity & international accounting — own consolidation across our US and international entities, multi-currency accounting and FX, intercompany transactions, and transfer pricing.

• Controls & scalable process — establish segregation of duties and scalable controls across procure-to-pay, payroll, and journal entries as the finance team grows, partnering with the Head of Finance on the approval and authorization structure.

• The monthly and quarterly close — run it end to end and drive the cadence toward a tight 4–5 business day close.

• Audit — partner on our current audit and grow into full ownership of the annual audit: work papers, PBC management, and the day-to-day auditor relationship.

• Procurement & spend controls — serve as the accounting point of contact in our spend-management / procurement system, verifying that transactions are correctly coded and supported before they route for final approval and sync to the GL.

• Core accounting operations — oversee AP, AR, payroll accounting, and expense, managing the third-party bookkeeping partner who handles much of the day-to-day.

• Routine technical accounting — apply GAAP to recurring areas…
