Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

Can you turn financial complexity into something anyone can understand?

Do you get excited about leading the finance function and still being in the weeds—all in the same day?

Are you eager to use your finance expertise to fuel a mission that gets more teachers into the classroom?

If you answered “YES!” to all three, you may be a good fit for this role!

Our mission is simple: get more teachers teaching. Since 2010, we’ve helped aspiring and current teachers pass their certification exams and complete certification programs through 240 Tutoring and 240 Certification.

We’re a remote-first, profitable company approaching $25M in annual revenue. We’ve built that growth by staying close to the numbers, reinvesting in the business, and making decisions for the long term. We’re looking for someone who gets excited about being part of that kind of company—one where the work matters, the numbers matter, and you get to help build what comes next.

This role owns the accounting function end-to-end, from the close and the ledger to controls, payroll, order-to-cash, tax and compliance, for a profitable company with two business lines, partner and district billing, deferred program revenue, and employees in approximately fifteen states.

The CFO owns forecasting, capital allocation, and the board relationship. You own the fact that the numbers are right, on time, explainable, and audit-ready. This is a hands‑on seat. You will close the books yourself as often as you review someone else's work, and you will be the person who turns manual, spreadsheet‑dependent processes into systems that hold up at twice our current size.

• Own the close calendar and the documented close checklist
• Produce consolidated financials plus segment P&Ls for both product lines
• Full balance sheet reconciliations, flux analysis, and budget‑vs‑actual commentary that explains why, not just what
• Provide the CFO with the clean, reconciled numbers and schedules behind the monthly board update
• ASC 606 across a monthly DTC subscription base and two partner‑funded models: partner‑purchased subscriptions at a deep discount, and student self‑purchase with discount codes
• Deferred revenue schedules for certification program tuition, including refunds, withdrawals, and program‑completion timing
• Reconcile billing and payment processors to the general ledger every month: proration, failed payments, chargebacks, refunds, discount‑code leakage

• Invoicing for Educator Preparation Programs and school districts: purchase orders, W‑9s, vendor portals, net terms, exemption certificates
• AR aging, collections cadence, bad‑debt reserve, and making sure what's in the contract is what gets invoiced, alongside the Partnerships team

• Accounts payable, vendor onboarding, corporate card and expense policy, and visibility into software spend
• Multi‑state payroll in partnership with HR: state registrations, unemployment insurance accounts, W‑2 and 1099 processing, and staying current as remote headcount moves across state lines
• Weekly cash position, cash reserves and working capital, banking and merchant‑processor relationships, free cash flow reporting

• Federal and state income and franchise filings with our outside CPA firm
• Sales and use tax on digital subscriptions, including the registrations, back‑filing, and go‑forward decisions from the multi‑state nexus review already in progress
• Sales and payroll tax nexus as the remote footprint expands
• Support state‑level financial reporting required by the certification program
• Business licenses, annual reports, insurance renewals, 1099 and W‑9 compliance
