Stealth Co aims to be a category-defining disruptor in the real-estate ecosystem by partnering with founders and management teams to help them scale and take their businesses to the next level.

Stealth Co is seeking a Controller to serve as the organization's senior finance leader during its early growth phase. Reporting directly to the CEO, this individual will be responsible for building the company’s finance and accounting infrastructure from the ground up while supporting rapid operational expansion.

This role represents a unique opportunity to join a high-growth, private equity-backed platform at the earliest stages of its development. The Controller will play a critical role in establishing financial processes, implementing systems and controls, and ensuring the company has the financial visibility required to scale responsibly.

The Controller will initially oversee all core accounting and finance functions, including financial reporting, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, cash management, and financial modeling.

The ideal candidate will combine strong technical accounting expertise with a highly entrepreneurial mindset.
