This is a full-time on-site role for an Assistant Controller, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Assistant Controller will build out the accounting function  business has scaled rapidly and the accounting infrastructure needs to catch up – close process, controls framework, audit readiness, and team. You will own that build.

Day-to-day, you will own the close process end to end, design and enforce the internal controls framework, lead the company through its first audit, and build out revenue and wallet reconciliation workflows. This is a hands-on role – you will be in the detail while also standing up the processes and documentation that let the function scale.
