Controller

Founded in 2024, WealthPlus set out to build what the retirement industry has long needed — a modern, purpose-built recordkeeping platform that actually works the way TPAs, employers, and participants need it to. We've built from the ground up with true multi-tenant architecture, integrated payroll and custodial connections, and granular role-based access, creating a single source of truth across the entire defined contribution plan lifecycle — from 401(k) administration and contribution processing to participant management, fund lineups, and compliance reporting. No more fragmented workflows. No more workarounds. Just one transparent, unified platform that brings Third Party Administrators, service providers, employers, investment firms, and individual participants together — with the simplicity, flexibility, and clarity the retirement industry deserves. We're a startup redefining what recordkeeping looks like, and we're building the team that will take us there. If you're passionate about the future of retirement plan management and want your work to matter from day one, WealthPlus is where you want to be. About the Role As WealthPlus's first Controller, you'll be the cornerstone of our internal finance function. You'll work alongside our external finance consultants to build the accounting infrastructure, processes, and controls that will scale with us as we grow. This is a hands-on role — you'll own the books, drive month-end close, and ensure our financial operations are tight, accurate, and audit-ready. This is the kind of role where you won't be managing a team of ten or inheriting a fully built function — you'll be building it. If you thrive in a fast-moving startup environment, enjoy owning your work end-to-end, and want visibility at the leadership level from day one, this is your seat.
