We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Controller to lead core accounting operations within a high-growth SaaS/technology environment.

The Controller will partner closely with executive leadership to drive financial accuracy, scalability, and readiness for continued investment and growth.

  • Prepare and review GAAP-compliant financial statements
  • Establish and enhance internal controls, policies, and scalable accounting processes
  • Partner cross-functionally with FP&A and leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic decisions
  • Support M&A lifecycle activities including due diligence, acquisition accounting, and post-close integration
  • Collaborate with private equity stakeholders and deliver investor-level reporting
  • Oversee external audits, tax coordination, and regulatory compliance
  • Drive ERP optimization and automation initiatives
  • Build, mentor, and scale the accounting team
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA strongly preferred
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership roles
  • Prior experience within a SaaS or technology company (required)
  • Strong background in private equity-backed environments
  • Hands-on M&A experience (due diligence, integration, or purchase accounting)
  • Deep knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting standards
  • Experience with modern ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite)
  • Strong analytical mindset with excellent communication and leadership abilities
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Willingness and ability to work Eastern Time Zone (EST) hours
Preferred Experience
  • Experience scaling accounting functions in a startup or high-growth setting
  • Expertise in SaaS revenue recognition (ASC 606)
  • Exposure to exit readiness (PE recap, IPO, or strategic sale)
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary + bonus + equity (stock options)
  • Unlimited PTO with a strong culture of work-life balance
  • Fully remote work environment
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid holidays and flexible scheduling
  • Opportunity to play a key role in scaling a PE-backed business
Why This Opportunity
This is a high-impact role where you’ll help shape the financial backbone of a scaling SaaS company. With strong private equity backing and active M&A strategy, you’ll have direct exposure to strategic transactions and executive decision-making—making this an ideal next step for a growth-oriented Controller.
