Controller, Retail, Financial Reporting

At Arketa, we believe software should be more intelligent, more intuitive, and truly support the people using it. The fitness and wellness industry has been underserved by technology for too long, and we’re here to change that.

We’re building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness businesses. Products that don’t just look good, but actually help studio owners and instructors grow their community, increase revenue, and deliver world-class client experiences. That means sweating the details, questioning assumptions, and delivering tools that are as powerful behind the scenes as they are seamless for the end user.

Great products come from fast-moving, aligned teams with clear focus and high standards. At Arketa, we invest in our people, our processes, and our product foundations. That way, we can move quickly and build with care week after week and year after year.

Whether you're an engineer, operator, or customer advocate, you'll be part of a team pushing wellness forward and doing the best work of your career.

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses, whether online, in-person, or both.

With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly.

As our Controller and right hand to our VP of Finance, you'll take full ownership of bookkeeping, the month-end close, financial reporting, tax, and audit, raising the bar on accuracy and building the foundation leadership relies on to make strategic decisions.

This role flexes both ways. Day to day, you'll be hands-on in the books, running close and reconciliations yourself. You'll start as an individual contributor for your first 6 to 12 months, with a clear path to Senior Controller leading a small team as the function grows.

You'll join our Finance team as the first in-house accounting hire, working directly with our VP of Finance. Accounting has been supported by outsourced partners up to now, and as Arketa grows we're ready for someone with a true owner's mindset to build the function from the ground up. You'll have high visibility with our leadership team and partner closely with our external auditors and tax advisors.

Internal controls & GL structure: Design and maintain the control environment, including correct account and department mapping, clean categorization rules, and documentation that will hold up under audit scrutiny.

Tax compliance & coordination: Manage tax filings and coordination with external tax partners, including credits (e.g., R&D) and multi-state considerations.

Payables & receivables: Manage the full AP/AR cycle, including vendor bill pay, employee…
