About this role We are looking for a Controller who wants to build — not just manage, this is a hands-on role at a company that moves fast, operates in a highly regulated environment, and holds itself to a high standard of financial rigor. You’ll own the accounting function and have a direct impact on how this company scales. The right person for this role thrives without a big team behind them, brings judgment and initiative in equal measure, and gets energized by solving problems that don’t have an established playbook yet. What You’ll Own Lead all aspects of accounting operations including the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process — end to end, hands on Own technical accounting for complex areas including revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), equity compensation (ASC 718), and capitalized R&D Own cost accounting and standard costing for manufactured products — BOM reviews, variance analysis, overhead absorption, and inventory valuation Partner with operations and supply chain on manufacturing cost structures, production variances, and margin analysis Serve as the accounting team’s primary power user of SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, partnering with leadership on ongoing optimization and driving adoption within the finance function Manage the relationship with our outsourced accounting firm, overseeing day-to-day coordination and ensuring quality and accuracy of their work Build and maintain a lean but solid internal controls environment, with an eye toward SOX readiness as the company grows Build and develop the accounting team over time — including hiring, mentoring, and structuring the function for scale What We’re Looking For We care more about what you’ve actually done and how you think than how your resume reads. That said, here’s what tends to matter in this role: Meaningful accounting leadership experience, with genuine ownership — not just oversight — of the close, the controls, and the numbers Deep US GAAP technical accounting expertise; CPA strongly preferred Hands-on experience with standard costing and manufacturing cost accounting — robotics or hardware manufacturing experience a real plus Comfortable in SAP S/4HANA; Public Cloud familiarity a bonus Experience in FDA-regulated or ISO 13485 environments preferred Has built processes from scratch before — not just inherited and maintained them Comfortable being the one who figures it out, not the one who waits for a playbook Clear communicator who can translate accounting complexity into plain language for the rest of the business Who Thrives Here You’ve worked at a startup or high-growth company before and know what that actually means day to day You’re not waiting for a team of five before you start — you’re comfortable being the team for a while You have strong opinions about how things should be done, but you hold them loosely when the situation calls for it You’d rather build the right thing than implement someone else’s template Attitude and curiosity matter more to you than title and credentials Why This Role You’ll be joining at the stage where it’s still possible to shape how this company operates for the long term. The accounting function is yours to build. You’ll have real exposure across the business, close partnership with leadership, and the opportunity to grow alongside the company. If you want a role where your fingerprints are on everything and the work is genuinely interesting, this is it. The Logistics This is a on-site/hybrid role Compensation: The annual salary range for this role is $185,000 - $226,000.
