Job Description & How to Apply Below

We offer a flexible working policy that supports a healthy balance between personal and professional well-being. This role requires in-office presence on Tuesdays and Thursdays to collaborate, connect, and learn from peers, while also maintaining the flexibility for meaningful work-life balance.

Being a Controller at iManage Means…

You will own the integrity of iManage's global accounting operations, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer and serving as a key member of the CFO's leadership team. You'll lead Accounting and Accounts Payable, partner closely with Internal Audit, and set the standard for how a scaling, global SaaS company closes its books, controls its risk, and reports its results.

This role is as much about people and process as it is about numbers. You'll build a high-performing accounting organization, strengthen the control environment as iManage grows, and partner across FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Commercial Ops, and IT to make sure the financial backbone of the company scales with the business.

iM Responsible For…
  • Owning the global accounting close process, including technical accounting judgments, revenue recognition under ASC 606, and the timely delivery of accurate, consolidated financial statements.
  • Leading and developing the Accounting and Accounts Payable teams, setting the standard for accuracy, control, and continuous improvement in day-to-day operations.
  • Partnering with Internal Audit, which reports directly to this role, to maintain a strong internal control environment and drive audit readiness across the organization.
  • Serving as the primary point of contact for external auditors, managing the annual audit from planning through completion.
  • Partnering with the CFO and the FP&A team on financial statement analysis, board and leadership reporting, and ad hoc financial questions.
  • Collaborating with IT on the financial systems roadmap, a dotted-line relationship, to ensure the general ledger and reporting infrastructure scale with the business.
  • Partnering with Commercial Ops, Treasury, and Tax on connected processes, including cash application, billing, collections, and treasury reconciliations.
  • Driving process improvement and automation across the close, reconciliation, and reporting cycles, including evaluating AI-powered tools where they improve accuracy and speed.
  • Ensuring compliance with US GAAP and, where applicable, statutory and local reporting requirements across iManage's global entities.
  • Building and mentoring a high-performing accounting organization that scales with iManage's growth.
iM Qualified Because I Have…
  • An active CPA license.
  • Ten-plus years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting and/or a controllership role at a SaaS or technology company (title commensurate with experience).
  • Deep knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition (ASC 606) for subscription and SaaS businesses.
  • Experience building and maintaining strong internal controls, with exposure to SOX or SOX-readiness environments.
  • A track record of managing external audit relationships and leading teams through the annual audit process.
  • People leadership experience, with a demonstrated ability to develop accounting and accounts payable teams.
  • Hands-on experience with a modern ERP or general ledger system (for example, Net Suite) and financial close tools.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical accounting matters for non-finance executives and the board.
Bonus Points If I Have…
  • Experience in a global, multi-entity SaaS company.
  • Experience partnering with Internal Audit and/or building a SOX compliance program from the ground up.
  • A public accounting background at a Big Four or national firm.
