Controller ($200-220K+bonus)
The Greene Group
LEGAL-TECH STARTUP || CONTROLLER || JERSEY CITY || CPA REQUIRED
A legal-tech startup working with some of the biggest names in the industry is finally ready to bring accounting fully in-house. The books currently run on QuickBooks, and this is a true standalone Controller role: you'll be the first real accounting hire, reporting directly to the CEO/founder, with total ownership of the function and full visibility.
HYBRID SETUP WITH OFFICES IN JERSEY CITY --> MUST HAVE A CPA, AUDIT FOUNDATION, AND EXPERIENCE BUILDING AN ACCOUNTING FUNCTION AND PROCESSES FROM THE GROUND UP
Amazing benefits/total package if you're looking for a place to call home for the next 10+ years.
What You'll Own
- The close: monthly and quarterly, from GL and accruals through GAAP financials, built and run your way
- Executive reporting: P&L by department and client segment, margin analysis, and the KPIs that actually drive decisions
- Banking and key relationships: you become the face of finance to the bank, pension advisor/TPA, PEO, tax preparer, auditors, and insurance broker
- Cash and the credit facility: forecasting, covenants, draws, and repayments
- Revenue cycle: AR and collections across the client base, plus AP and vendor payments
- People finance: payroll and benefits through the PEO, plus the company pension plan alongside the TPA (contributions, testing, filings)
- Budgeting and forecasting: annual budget and rolling forecasts with legal, sales, and tech leads
- Systems and controls: upgrade from QuickBooks, choose the tools, and build internal controls designed for a firm handling confidential client financial and contract data
- Risk and vendors: insurance renewals (E&O, cyber, GL) and the company's own vendor contracts
What You'll Bring
- Active CPA (required) with an audit foundation
- 8+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including building or bringing an accounting function in-house
- Strong GAAP command, including revenue recognition for services and subscription models
- Professional services, financial services, or data/analytics background preferred
- Familiarity with PEO and co-employment payroll structures and multi-state compliance
- ERP fluency and comfort connecting billing, CRM, and time-tracking systems
- Rock-solid discretion with sensitive client and company data
