Controller

We’re looking for a Controller to lead our accounting, treasury, tax, and audit functions as we continue to scale.

You will own the month-end close, financial statements, technical accounting, treasury and cash management, tax compliance, AP, revenue, payroll, and our control environment, while partnering closely with our Credit/AR team, FP&A, external auditors, and leadership, with a strong focus on automation and leveraging AI and other modern tools to scale the function efficiently.

This role reports to the VP of Finance & Accounting and will manage a small but growing team of accountants and external partners.

What You’ll Do

Accounting, Close & Financial Reporting

• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes; ensure accurate, timely financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Maintain and improve the chart of accounts, accounting policies, and procedures
• Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, reserves, and supporting schedules
• Own and continuously improve close checklists, calendars, and review protocols
• Own revenue recognition and related accounting in accordance with US GAAP (including ASC 606), including contract review and billing/revenue reconciliations
• Partner with FP&A on internal financial reporting packages for leadership and the Board, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and clarity

Treasury, Funding & Cash Operations

• Own treasury operations: cash positioning, liquidity management, and near-term cash forecasting
• Deliver regular (e.g., weekly) cash reporting and support short-term cash forecasting in partnership with FP&A
• Manage banking and lender relationships, including facilities used to fund marketplace receivables (e.g., debt lines, invoice factoring)
• Oversee draws, repayments, covenant reporting, and compliance related to these facilities
• Help develop and implement cash and investment policies, ensuring safety, liquidity, and appropriate returns
• Oversee accounts payable (including controls and approvals for wires/ACH), vendor onboarding, and payment runs; balance strong controls with operational efficiency
• Ensure accurate and timely payroll in partnership with People/HR and our payroll provider

Tax & Compliance

• Own tax compliance in partnership with external tax advisors (federal, state, and local income tax, sales/use tax, franchise tax, and other indirect taxes as applicable)
• Monitor nexus and filing requirements as the company grows and enters new jurisdictions
• Ensure proper tax accounting (e.g., income tax provision, deferred taxes) in the financial statements
• Drive process improvements around data collection and documentation to support efficient tax filings and audits

Systems, Automation & Controls

• Own and optimize our finance systems stack (e.g., ERP, AP automation, expense management, billing tools)
• Identify and execute on opportunities to automate and streamline workflows across accounting, treasury, and tax, including leveraging AI and other modern tools to reduce manual work and improve accuracy
• Design, implement, and maintain an appropriate internal control framework, including segregation of duties and approval workflows
• Ensure full compliance with US GAAP and other applicable standards

Leadership, Partnership & Acquisition Integration

• Manage and develop a high-performing accounting/operations team, as well as external partners (outsourced accountants, tax advisors, auditors)
• Partner cross-functionally with Credit/AR, FP&A, Ops, GTM, Legal, and Product on initiatives with accounting, tax, or treasury impact
• Act as the financial lead for acquisition integrations, including systems, reporting, and control alignment

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

Within your first year you will have:

• Shortened and stabilized month-end close to a predictable timeline with minimal post-close adjustments
• Delivered clean, audit-ready financials and smoothly managed annual audit
• Built a clear, reliable process for accounting and reporting on the insured receivables portfolio and related funding structures
• Established a predictable tax compliance calendar, with no surprises and clean support for all filings
• Upgraded key systems and processes  to be more automated, controlled, and scalable
• Built a small but strong, engaged team with clear responsibilities and development plans
