- The Controller is 's senior internal accounting leader and is accountable for the integrity of our books, accounting judgments, financial close, financial reporting, controls, and audit readiness.

You will personally lead core accounting work while also owning the systems, processes, and controls that allow the function to operate reliably at scale.
- At , the Controller role also has meaningful responsibility for treasury and payment operations, with support. Because our platform supports tens of thousands of payments each month, our accounting function cannot be disconnected from how money actually moves through the business. You will own the financial lifecycle of company and program funds, including treasury, banking, payment-provider reconciliation, AR, AP, and the connection between operational payment activity and the general ledger.
- You are not expected to manually execute every transaction or personally resolve every routine payment exception. You are expected to maintain and improve the systems in which those activities are controlled, reconciled, visible, appropriately delegated, and escalated when necessary.

- Approximately 60% — Accounting & Controller responsibilities Financial close, general ledger, accounting judgments, revenue accounting, reconciliations, financial reporting, audit readiness, AR/AP accounting, and financial controls.
- Approximately 20% — Treasury & payment operations oversight Cash and banking oversight, program funds, payment-provider reconciliation, payment controls, funding readiness, treasury operations, and material payment or funding exceptions.

- 's books are accurate and close occurs on a predictable schedule.
- Accounting judgments are well-reasoned, documented, and consistently applied.
- The CEO and fractional CFO can rely on financial information without independently reconstructing or validating the underlying accounting.
- Audits and diligence do not require a scramble to reconstruct financial records.
- Company cash, program funds, payment-provider balances, AR, AP, and the GL reconcile consistently.
- can quickly explain where program funds are, what has been disbursed, what remains outstanding, and what remains available.
- Payment and funding discrepancies are identified quickly and resolved rather than accumulating.
- Material financial and payment risks surface before they become emergencies.
- AR and AP are timely, accurate, and controlled.
- Banking and payment-provider relationships are actively managed.
