Controls & Audit Readiness: Design and implement robust internal controls and establish audit-ready processes
Automation: Leverage AI agents and automation to reduce manual workflows such as transaction categorization and reconciliations
External Relationships: Manage relationships with auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners
Requirements
Professional experience in a Controller or Senior Accounting Manager role at a high-growth venture-backed start-up
