Controller - High-Growth Startups - Fully Remote

B Consulting

Chicago, IL • On-site, Remote

Full-time

Re-posted 16 days ago

Job description

Controller
We're looking for a Controller who operates like an owner, not just an accountant.
This role is for someone who has personally built and run finance functions inside growing companies-including accounting, payroll, and benefits-and is comfortable stepping into messy, fast-moving environments to bring clarity and structure.
What You'll Do
You'll serve as the day-to-day finance lead for multiple startup clients, working directly with founders and operators.
  • Own the monthly close and deliver accurate, decision-ready financials
  • Translate financial results into clear insights for founders
  • Build and improve processes, systems, and controls as companies scale
  • Manage and mentor a team (onshore + offshore) to execute day-to-day accounting
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for auditors, tax partners, and external stakeholders

Critically Important - You will personally own or have owned:
  • Payroll and benefits administration (Gusto, Rippling, ADP, Justworks, etc.)
  • Building finance processes in companies without full infrastructure

What You've Likely Done Before
  • Been the Controller, Head of Finance, or #1/#2 finance hire at a startup or high-growth company
  • Built or cleaned up accounting and finance operations from the ground up
  • Worked closely with founders or operators in a hands-on, fast-paced environment
  • Owned both technical accounting AND operational accounting (payroll, benefits, systems)
  • Implemented or significantly improved systems like QuickBooks, NetSuite, Gusto, Rippling, etc.

Core Areas of Ownership
  • Full-cycle accounting (close, reconciliations, reporting)
  • AR/AP, payroll, and benefits
  • Inventory and COGS (for applicable clients)
  • Cash flow forecasting and financial modeling
  • GAAP compliance (ASC 606, accruals, etc.)
  • Tax coordination and compliance

What We're Looking For
  • Strong accounting foundation (CPA a plus, not required)
  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments (this is critical)
  • Proven ability to own both accounting AND operational finance
  • Comfortable managing multiple clients and priorities
  • Systems-oriented thinker who enjoys building and improving processes
  • Clear communicator who can work directly with founders

This Role Is Not For
  • Candidates who have only worked in large, structured environments
  • Purely technical accountants without operational ownership
  • Individuals who haven't directly managed payroll, benefits, or systems

Details
  • 100% remote
  • Work with a portfolio of high-growth startups across tech, consumer, and life sciences
  • Opportunity to operate as a trusted advisor, not just a back-office function

About Us
B Consulting partners with high-growth, venture-backed startups to build and run their finance and accounting functions. We don't just close books - we help founders build infrastructure, make decisions, and scale intelligently.
This is a remote opportunity.
