Financial Comptroller - Remote

At Atomi, our mission is to help unlock the world's potential by optimizing the way we teach and learn. Our platform combines cutting-edge technology with a creative, human-first approach, turning complex ideas into simple, engaging experiences for students, educators, and parents everywhere.
We're driven by curiosity, humility, and a relentless focus on quality and innovation. As our new Financial Controller, you'll lead a Finance function with strong foundations already in place, so this is a role for someone who wants to elevate a great team rather than build one from scratch. Please note, this is a 12-month max-term contract. Reporting to the Co-CEO with two direct reports, you'll balance day to day financial rigor with commercial insight, and bring an AI-forward mindset to how the team reports, forecasts, and works. This is a generalist role: you'll have real scope to pick up the projects that matter most, coach and develop your team, and help Atomi make sharper, faster financial decisions as we keep scaling.
Own the annual budgeting framework, drive forecasting, planning and performance analysis, and support the Co-CEOs with investor reporting, performance updates, and strategic materials.
Oversee day to day accounting functions, including monthly, quarterly, and yearly close, accounts payable/receivable, cash management, and financial reporting.
Manage transactional finance, including bank approvals, treasury, contract reviews, and interest rate optimization.
Build and maintain the financial policies and controls that support Atomi's growth, and look for ways AI and automation can make reporting faster, cleaner, and more useful to the business.
Coach and develop your two direct reports, building on a team that already has stable foundations and a clear way of working.
Partner closely with stakeholders across the business to drive cost control and operational efficiency, and constructively challenge decisions with solid financial strategy.
CA or CPA qualification, with deep experience across financial control and operations, ideally in a SaaS startup, tech industry, or high-growth business.
A genuine sense of responsibility for your team, and a real interest in coaching and developing the people who report to you.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, comfortable partnering with and influencing people across all parts of the business.
Enjoy work-life balance with hours that adapt to your needs, whether for university, family, or personal time
Experience additional paid leave options as a permanent team member
Benefit from a comprehensive employee assistance program subscription and additional wellbeing leave, supporting your best self
Regular social in-person and remote events: Including team sports competitions, trivia nights, and themed annual events
Make sure to include links to any relevant projects, like your portfolio, writing, GitHub, etc. - whatever helps us understand what you're good at, what you're passionate about, and why you'd be a great fit at Atomi.
