Assistant Controller

About GrowthX AI

Your website is now the truth layer for AI answers. Most marketing teams are meeting that shift with a stack that doesn't connect: SEO tools measure, content tools produce, agencies advise, and nobody closes the loop between what gets published and what actually works.

GrowthX closes it. We build one system that holds a company's context, finds the next opportunity, produces the content, and feeds the results back in. Software runs the workflows, our experts calibrate them, and every cycle makes the next one sharper.

Teams at Ramp, Lovable, Strapi and Together AI run on it. We're remote-first and globally distributed, and we're hiring people who want to shape how companies grow with AI.

We're hiring our first Assistant Controller to build and own the Accounting function s is a 0-to-1 role: you're not inheriting a mature org, you're standing one up. You'll take the accounting infrastructure we have today, including an outsourced bookkeeping firm, Campfire as our GL, and a lot of tribal knowledge, and turn it into a function that scales with the business and holds up under audit.

You'll report to the Head of Finance and own the integrity of our books end to end: close, reporting, AR/collections, AP oversight, revenue recognition, systems, and controls. We currently lean on an outsourced accounting firm for bookkeeping — that's a stopgap, not the target state. Part of the job is to bring that work in-house and lower our dependence on outside help as the function matures, which means you should expect to be hands‑on with the actual work, not just reviewing someone else's.

You'll build the process, controls, and documentation so the next hire doesn't have to reverse‑engineer any of it from Slack threads.

GrowthX runs a hybrid model — subscription platform revenue alongside services revenue — so you'll work with revenue recognition that isn't a single, simple SaaS pattern. You'll also inherit real, live problems on day one: aging AR, contract structures with opt-out windows, multi-state tax exposure, and systems that don't yet talk to each other cleanly. We need someone who wants to fix that, not someone who needs it already fixed.

You might be a fit if you…

• Have prior experience as a Controller, or as a strong Assistant Controller / Accounting Manager ready to run the function independently, ideally at a high-growth Series A SaaS company.

• Have built or materially matured an accounting function before — you know what "0 to 1" actually requires: process, controls, and documentation that don't yet exist.

• Are deep in U.S. GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition for subscription and services revenue, and can reason through a nonstandard revenue scenario instead of just applying a template.

• Are AI-forward: you use AI tools daily to move faster on close, reconciliations, and reporting, and you have a point of view on where automation belongs in an accounting workflow versus where it doesn't.

• Are comfortable owning the close independently — you can run it yourself without a controller above you catching your mistakes.

• Think like a business partner, not just an accountant: you can read a customer contract, a compensation change, or an operational decision and see the accounting and cash implications before anyone asks.

• Communicate clearly and directly — you can explain a judgment call to a non-finance exec in plain language and defend it if pushed.

• Are self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity. This is a remote, async, high-autonomy environment; nobody hands you a fully scoped process.

What you'll do

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close. We use an outsourced accounting firm for bookkeeping today; you'll direct that relationship in the near term while working to bring close,…
