Corporate Controller

A newly public company in the data center space is hiring a Corporate Controller in Midtown Manhattan. They build and run the infrastructure behind AI, high-performance computing, and blockchain, and you'd be the first finance hire on the US side, reporting straight to the CEO. The role is 5 days a week in the office.

You'd own the accounting function end to end, including the close, multi-entity and intercompany accounting, financial reporting, and the accounting that comes with real estate and data center development. There's a real mandate to set up the function your way and grow a US team as the business scales.

What you'll be doing

• Running the monthly close, general ledger, journal entries, and account reconciliations
• Overseeing accounting across several entities, including intercompany and consolidated reporting
• Leading an offshore accounting team: setting priorities, deadlines, and review processes
• Giving the CEO clear, timely financials and helping them understand how the business is performing
• Building out accounting policies, documentation, and internal controls
• Finishing the rollout of a new expense management platform, including workflows, approvals, and the tie-in to accounting
• Getting more out of the current accounting systems
• Automating repetitive work and bringing AI tools into daily workflows where they make sense
• Handling accounting for data center operations, growth projects, and real estate deals
• Working with outside accounting, audit, and tax providers
• Planning future headcount and growing the team as the company expands

Requirements

• 7+ years corporate accounting experience, ideally with experience managing multi entity accounting & consolidation
