Controller

At Sibi we're looking for a Controller to join our team.

Full-time • Sibi

About Sibi

Sibi is modernizing the antiquated procurement industry. We are simplifying the process of building and improving a property by connecting manufacturers, contractors, and homeowners directly on one platform.

Today, Sibi facilitates high-volume building product transactions across categories like appliances, HVAC, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. As we grow, we are expanding into more complex offerings, including labor-enabled programs and client-specific technology solutions.

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on leader to own the accounting/finance backbone of an AI-first technology company.

This is a builder's role, not a caretaker's position. You'll own the full accounting function end to end - from journal entries and reconciliations all the way up to revenue strategy, pricing decisions, and the accounting systems architecture that powers a multi-model marketplace. You'll be equally comfortable closing the books, designing a revenue subledger with our engineers, deciding how we handle multi-state sales tax, and bringing an accounting point of view to leadership and partner negotiations.

If you're energized by figuring out problems no one has solved before, leveraging AI to eliminate manual work, and building scalable accounting operations from the ground up, you'll probably love this role.

What You'll Own

• Accounting & close - core accounting operations (GL, journal entries, reconciliations, AP, AR, accruals, payroll allocations, balance sheet integrity) and the full month, quarter, and year-end close.
• Reporting - financial statements, KPI and margin reporting by vertical and transaction type, cash reporting, and materials for leadership.
• Revenue, rebates & settlements - define and document revenue recognition across products, rebates, labor programs, pass-through costs, financing, and technology fees; own partner reconciliations, rebate invoicing, settlements, dispute resolution, and payout workflows.
• Payments & sales tax - administer Stripe (invoicing, payouts, disputes/chargebacks, refunds, and related controls) and own end-to-end multi-state sales tax - nexus, exemption certificates, Stripe Tax enablement, remittance, and the outside tax firm.
• Finance systems & automation - own and architect the finance tech stack; lead the revenue subledger and partner with Operations, Automation, and Engineering to automate manual work (including AI-assisted workflows) and improve data quality.
• Pricing, treasury & forecasting - act as a financial approver on pricing and fee decisions, run unit-economics and margin analysis, weigh in on new partner programs, and own cash management, vendor payments, and forecasting.
• Compliance, team & strategy - tax compliance, internal controls, audit readiness, and external-advisor management; build the finance team and processes as Sibi scales; and bring a forward-looking accounting perspective to leadership.

What We're Looking For

• Active CPA required.
• Masters in professional accounting, master's in accounting, or similar advanced accounting degree strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with prior ownership of a full accounting function.
• At least 2 years of Big 4 public accounting experience strongly preferred.
• Strong command of US GAAP, month-end close, revenue recognition, reconciliations, accrual accounting, and financial reporting.
• Experience with multi-state sales tax (nexus, exemption certificates, remittance) preferred.
• Direct experience administering a payment processor (Stripe strongly preferred): invoicing, payouts, disputes/chargebacks, and reconciliation.
• Comfort owning and architecting finance systems - GL platforms, subledgers/data warehouses, and the integrations between operational systems and the GL.
• Strong Excel/data skills and comfort working with accounting systems, payment data, operational data, and large transaction sets.
• High attention to detail, strong ownership, and clear communication.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with business, operations, data, and engineering teams

Experience With Any of the Following Is a Plus

• Marketplace, multi-model, or hybrid revenue-model accounting
• Revenue recognition in software or marketplace businesses
• API-based financial systems and data warehouses (e.g., Redshift)
• AI-assisted workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) and workflow automation

You'll Probably Thrive Here If You

• Regularly use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to work faster and solve problems.
• Get excited about automating repetitive work instead of accepting "that's how accounting has always been done."
• Love digging into APIs, payment platforms, and transaction data to make systems more efficient.
• Enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams.
• Prefer building processes over simply maintaining them.
• Are comfortable owning ambiguity in an environment where the playbook is still being written.

Benefits

• Employee health insurance fully covered
• Dental, vision, FSA, and HSA options
• 401(k) plan with company matching
• Flexible paid time off
• Learning and continuing education budget
• Daily in-office lunch, snacks, drinks, and Sibi swag
• In-office perks including cold plunge, infrared sauna, and ping pong

Why Sibi?

Finance at Sibi is not just about closing the books. This role will help shape how new products are launched, how revenue is recognized, how partners are paid, how automation is built, and how leadership understands the business.

If you are a CPA with strong fundamentals, Big 4 training, and the desire to build something meaningful inside a growing technology company, we would love to meet you.
