The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Controller will lead all accounting and finance operations and play a key strategic role as the company scales internationally.

• Lead and mentor a team in accounting with cross-functions.
• Financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and month-end/year-end close
• Manage cash flow, AP/AR, payroll oversight, and treasury functions
• Support international expansion — tax compliance, reconciliations, and regulatory research across multiple countries

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
