Controller
TL;DR - We’re hiring a hands-on Controller to build and run the engine room of our finance function. You’ll lead our monthly close, own billing and compliance, and scale the systems that keep us audit-ready, cash-efficient, and built for speed. This is a critical role for someone who’s scaled finance ops before; and is hungry to do it again, better!

Own our revenue operations — Ensure every customer is billed correctly and on time, track receivables, and reconcile incoming payments.
Run our monthly close — Collaborate with our accounting partners to close fast, accurately, and with zero drift.
Keep our cash tight — Oversee payables, monitor expenses, and maintain clean approval and payment workflows.
Reconcile every number — Revenue, payroll, VAT, cash — if it moves, you’ll know why.
Drive audit readiness — Prepare us for investor audits, tax reviews, and filings.
Tighten and scale the machine — Reduce manual work, automate processes, and improve reporting as we grow.
Partner across the company — Work closely with sales, ops, and leadership to track what’s going on and flag issues early.
