Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

Supply chain is broken. Let’s fix it.

We are a team of engineers, product designers, and customer champions applying the most transformative technology of our times, AI, to one of the largest industries in the world. Augie, our AI agent, now runs end-to-end workflows for some of the largest B2B distributors in North America.

We are looking for a Controller to build and run our accounting function.

You are the first internal accounting hire ay, a third-party accounting firm maintains our books. You will own the month-end close, run financial operations, and prepare the company for its first annual audit. Over time, you will bring accounting in-house and decide what stays with outside partners.

You will work directly with the Head of Finance and partner closely with Sales, Legal, People, and Engineering. The business is growing quickly, and the product changes fast, so you will set up processes while they are still being used. You will help write the finance playbook for everyone who joins after you.

• Own the month-end close end to end, with a clear calendar, checklists, account reconciliations, and review controls

• Manage the third-party accounting firm during the transition, then lead the move to an in-house close and decide which work stays outsourced

• Prepare financial statements and management reporting that leadership and the board can rely on

• Maintain the fixed asset, equity, and stock-based compensation records with the cap table and our equity administration provider

• Build and document internal controls, policies, and approval workflows that fit a company of our size and scale with it

• Select, implement, and improve finance systems (ERP, billing, AP, expense), and automate repetitive work with AI tools and scripting

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and diligence requests from investors, lenders, and acquirers

• Hire and manage future accounting team members as the function grows

• CPA (or CPA-eligible) with a bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance

• Strong command of US GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition and stock-based compensation

• Experience preparing for or supporting an audit, ideally a first audit

• Comfortable operating with speed and with incomplete information: you make a sound call, document it, and adjust as the facts change

• AI fluent: you already use AI tools in your daily work and look for ways to automate reconciliations, reporting, and review

• Hands-on and detail-oriented, and equally able to explain accounting decisions to a non-finance audience
