Assistant Controller

What you will be doing: Close ownership: Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close. Own timeliness, accuracy, and continuous improvement of the close calendar. Balance sheet ownership: Own the balance sheet end-to-end — reconciliations, review, and accuracy across cash, receivables, payables, fixed assets, accruals, deferred revenue, deferred commissions, and capitalized software. Audit leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for our external auditors. Manage documentation, prepare technical accounting memos, and drive the audit to a clean, on-time finish. Revenue and compliance: Maintain GAAP revenue recognition under ASC 606. Own sales tax filings, nexus analysis, and debt covenant compliance reporting. AP, AR, and payroll oversight: Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll operations. Initially hands‑on; over time, transition execution to automation and agents under your direction. Automation and systems design: Evaluate, deploy, and maintain the tooling stack that powers the accounting function — including NetSuite, Ramp, and emerging AI agent tools. Build the roadmap for what gets automated and what stays with you. FP&A partnership: Support the FP&A team with accurate actuals, GAAP revenue forecasting inputs, and cash flow forecasting. Cross‑functional collaboration: Partner with Operations, R&D, and Revenue teams to ensure data accuracy supporting revenue recognition, commissions, and reporting.
