Assistant Controller

Assistant Controller

We are seeking a hands‑on Assistant Corporate Controller to lead our global accounting operations in a fast‑growing, private‑equity‑backed SaaS company. This is a role for someone who thrives in a startup‑style environment — you won’t have a large team above you to catch things, and you’ll be expected to roll up your sleeves alongside a lean team that includes offshore accounting support.

The ideal candidate is a CPA with deep technical accounting chops, strong SaaS experience, comfort in multi‑entity global environments, and a genuine appetite for leveraging technology and AI to drive efficiency. This is not a role for someone who just manages the work — it’s for someone who does it, improves it, and helps us scale.

If you’re passionate about working in a dynamic, fast‑growing company — with cutting‑edge technology, smart colleagues, and opportunities for development — come grow with us!
