Controller​/Senior Accountant; Path to CFO

WE'RE HIRING A CONTROLLER — AND WE'RE READY TO MOVE FAST.

Impulse Alarm is a technology‑driven home security company with a strong consumer finance component. We're not a traditional alarm company — nearly half our team are full‑stack developers, and we build our own tools and systems in‑house. We originate and service our own credit lines, and we're currently building a custom loan management platform to support rapid scale. Our environment sits at the intersection of operations, consumer lending, technology, and financial discipline.

Maybe you've been a senior accountant or accounting manager and you're ready to run the show. Maybe you're an early‑career controller looking for a place where you can actually own something. Either way, if you've closed the books independently, take pride in getting the details right, and want a real path to CFO, keep reading.

We're a small, tech‑forward team, and we use AI in our work every day. If you see AI as a tool rather than a threat, you'll fit right in.

• Own full‑cycle accounting: GL, AP/AR, reconciliations, and month‑end close
• Produce financial statements: management reporting and variance analysis
• Build dashboards & KPIs using modern BI and data visualization tools
• Develop budgets, forecasts, and scenario models to guide strategic decisions
• Partner with operations, sales, and service teams to connect financial performance with operational levers
• Leverage AI tools to automate reporting, analysis, and documentation workflows
• Grow into more — as the company scales, you'll take on responsibilities in areas like lending operations, loan management systems, strategic finance, and process automation

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA a plus, not required)
• 2–5 years of accounting or finance experience — you might be a senior accountant ready for your first Controller title, or an early‑career controller ready for more ownership
• Strong technical accounting skills: you can close the books cleanly on your own
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; BI tools experience is a bonus
• Comfortable with (or genuinely curious about) AI tools like Claude and Open Claw
• Experience in consumer finance, lending, or recurring‑revenue models is a plus — but not a requirement if you're a fast learner
• You'd rather build something than inherit a playbook
• You thrive when things are moving fast and systems are still being figured out

This isn't a "clock in, clock out" environment. We're a small team that moves fast and builds to win. What we care about more than your resume:

• Grit — you push through when things get hard
• High agency — you find a way, not an excuse
• Entrepreneurial mindset — you think like an owner

If you're the type who bets on yourself, you'll do well here.

• $100K base + monthly bonus structure that rewards the impact you make
• Hybrid work in Las Vegas (2–3 days onsite)
• Report directly to the founders — no middle management, your work goes straight to the top
• Your first (or best) Controller title with real autonomy from day one
• A clear path to CFO — as we grow, so does your role
• Build from the ground up — systems, processes, and the finance function itself
• AI‑forward culture
• Work alongside engineers, not just accountants — nearly half the team are developers building our platform
