Requirements and responsibilities
We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Financial Controller who thrives in a remote-first environment and takes pride in building scalable, well-documented, and audit-ready financial systems.
You will own our financial reporting, month-end close, and revenue recognition processes while partnering with leadership to provide strategic insights.
Responsibilities:
- Month-end and year-end reporting. You run the close, you own the output, and you are always looking for ways to tighten the timeline.
- Commission calculations and payouts. Making sure everything is accurate, on time, and running without friction.
- Managing individual contributors on the finance team. You set the bar, give feedback, and genuinely invest in developing the people around you.
- Building new management reporting for vertical SaaS metrics: ARR, MRR, churn, NRR, the works. Leadership should not have to ask for these numbers; they should have them.
- GAAP compliance, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and making sure everything is audit-ready before the auditors even show up.
- Evaluating and improving our finance systems and processes. If something is manual and fragile, you fix it. If a process does not exist yet, you build it and document it so it scales.
Working Hours:
- This is a full-time role, with 4 hours core overlap with US East Coast, on most days.
Requirements:
- 5-7 plus years of experience as a Financial Controller.
- A CPA or Chartered Accountant designation.
- Experience working for a US-based Business.
- SaaS Industry Experience.
- Proven Management Skills.
- Prior experience working as a controller; you have done this before and you are ready to do it again in a high-growth environment.
- Strong knowledge of US GAAP, especially ASC 606 and ASC 842.
- Experience with B2B SaaS accounting, subscription revenue, and deferred revenue.
- Ability to manage a month-end close from start to finish.
- Experience managing and developing direct reports.
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills.
- Proficient in accounting software (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or similar).
- Comfortable operating independently in a remote, async-first company.
- Excellent written communication and documentation skills.
- The ability to move quickly, make decisions with confidence, and stay comfortable when things are not perfectly defined yet.
Brownie Points For:
- Vertical SaaS experience; this is highly desired and will put you at the front of the line.
- Experience building a finance function from the ground up at a growth-stage company.
- Familiarity with SaaS billing systems like Stripe, Chargebee, or similar.
- Experience preparing board packages and investor materials.
- Background supporting SOC 2 or similar compliance frameworks.
The Ideal Candidate:
- You are someone who moves with purpose and makes decisions with confidence. When you spot a problem, your instinct is to solve it, and then build the process around the fix so it does not come back.
- You are creative enough to build something from scratch and rigorous enough to make sure it holds up under scrutiny.
- You do not need someone checking in on you constantly. You take ownership of your work, communicate openly, and hold yourself to a high standard, not because someone is watching, but because that is just how you operate.
- You bring deep technical accounting knowledge, but you also know how to zoom out and help leadership understand what the numbers mean for the business.
- You are someone people enjoy working with, and you make the team around you better.
What is in it for you?
- Salary: $4,000-$5,000 per month.
- Full-time: Fully remote.
- 12 U.S. holidays (swappable), 10 vacation days, 5 sick days, 5 bereavement days.
- High ownership and autonomy; you are building the function, not inheriting someone else's playbook.
- Direct impact on company growth and strategic direction at a vertical SaaS leader.
Note:
- Please note that this is a gross salary and that you are responsible for any tax-related procedures in your country of residence. We kindly ask you to apply only if you are happy to work remotely as an independent contractor.
Optionally, you can add more information later (benefits, pre-screening questions, etc.)
