Controller Position

We are looking for a strong, experienced Controller to serve as the local finance presence in the United States — acting as an extension of our global finance function and working closely with senior U.S. business leadership.

About the Role

This role is designed for a confident, experienced Controller who can represent the finance function on the ground in the U.S. You will work directly with senior stakeholders — including Sales VPs — and must be comfortable operating independently, holding your own in the room, and driving financial rigor across the U.S. entity. The role reports to the VP Finance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead ongoing financial reporting for the U.S. entity, in close coordination with the global Finance team
  • Serve as the primary finance point of contact for senior U.S. business leaders, including Sales VPs — providing financial insight and support for business decisions
  • Own financial controls, month-end/quarter-end close processes, and compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements
  • Oversee and manage U.S. payroll
  • Support US Benefits processes
  • Work within NetSuite for entries, controls, and reporting
  • Partner closely with the centralized Finance team on reporting, reconciliations, and process alignment
  • Identify risks and drive improvements to internal controls within U.S. operations
  • Own and implement U.S. Sales Tax processes — including nexus analysis, registration, filing, and ongoing compliance across relevant states

Requirements

  • CPA (must)
  • 4-6 years of experience in a Controller / senior accounting role
  • Ability to work independently and confidently with senior executives; strong presence when engaging with Sales VPs and other business leaders
  • Excellent communication skills; comfortable working cross-culturally with a global finance organization, flexible working hours will be needed at times.
  • Working knowledge of U.S. Sales Tax rules and compliance requirements
  • DC.-based to allow at least 3 days a week in the office
  • Experience working with NetSuite
  • Experience managing or supporting U.S. payroll

Nice to Have

  • Experience in global technology companies / multi-entity corporate structures
  • Active U.S. security clearance — a significant advantage
