About the role

Most Controller roles ask you to keep the books and survive the audit.
You will have direct access to the CEO and the executive team, real ownership over systems and headcount decisions, and the chance to be the founding accounting leader at a company that is on a path to be one of the defining AI companies in legal.l.

Own the implementation and ongoing administration of an ERP. Lead the cutover from our current bookkeeping stack, including the chart of accounts redesign, opening balances, integrations, and parallel-run validation.
Design the close to be AI-augmented end-to-end: reconciliations, flux analysis, accrual roll-forwards, journal entry preparation, and first-draft variance commentary generated by systems, with humans as reviewers and approvers.
Stand up the systems architecture and build the data layer that lets Finance, Accounting, and RevOps work from a single source of truth.
Own the technical accounting work
Build the audit-ready close: monthly close on a predictable cadence, clean rollforwards, supportable accruals, documented controls, and a tight, organized PBC process for subsequent audits.

You have been through an IPO from the issuer side - ideally as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accounting Manager - and you know what the SEC, underwriters, and auditors expect.
You have written or owned material sections of an S-1.
You have taken an accounting org from early/scrappy to repeatable and audit-ready at a high-growth company.
You have hired, leveled, and managed accountants.
You have replaced an ERP at least once.
You can describe specific workflows you have automated or compressed using LLMs, MCP, or agentic tools.
You believe systems should shape processes, not the other way around - and you can architect both.
Experience at a venture-backed SaaS company between Series B and IPO.
Direct experience with Rillet, Campfire, NetSuite, Metronome, Stripe, Ramp, and Justworks.
Familiarity with AI/ML cost accounting (inference costs, COGS classification, gross margin in AI businesses).

Own the technical accounting work; revenue recognition, ASC 606 memos, equity, stock comp, lease accounting, and any acquisition-related accounting.

Own customer-facing financial diligence - auditor letters, going-concern letters, financial statement requests from enterprise customers - so the sales team can close deals without bottlenecks.
