Job Description
Controller leading accounting function for SaaS company RevenueCat. Building world-class accounting processes to support IPO-ready growth.
Responsibilities:
- You will be the company’s most senior accounting leader and will partner closely with our Head of Finance to build a world-class function that can support a rapidly scaling SaaS business with IPO ambitions.
- You’ll lead the month-end close, oversee financial reporting, manage audits, elevate controls and processes, and set the foundation for future ERP implementation.
- In the first month, you'll develop a deep understanding of our current accounting stack, processes, month-end workflow, and reporting structure.
- Take ownership of day-to-day accounting activities, ensuring accuracy and timeliness from day one.
- Assess existing internal controls, identify immediate improvements, and propose an initial roadmap.
- Build strong relationships with Finance, People, Ops, and GTM teams to establish alignment and cross-functional workflows.
- Within the first 3 months, fully own and run our month-end close process and ensure consistent, auditable financials.
- Lead all key accounting functions, including revenue, AP, AR, payroll accounting, expense management, and reconciliations.
- Develop and document scalable internal controls, accounting policies, and operational procedures.
- Begin scoping requirements and timelines for a financial audit.
- Within the first 6 months, implement and refine accounting processes that improve speed, accuracy, and compliance.
- Evaluate and strengthen revenue recognition frameworks, ensuring alignment with SaaS best practices.
- Lead the charge on legal entity, payroll, and tax considerations as RevenueCat continues to scale globally.
- Start managing and mentoring junior accounting team members or external partners.
- Within the first 12 months, deliver a fully documented, efficient, well-controlled accounting environment built for scale.
- Initiate a full financial accounting audit with minimal disruption to the business.
- Build the roadmap for IPO readiness.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of accounting experience, including 3+ years at a Big 4 accounting firm working with technology or SaaS clients.
- You hold an active CPA and have deep experience with US GAAP and financial reporting.
- You’ve played a meaningful accounting role at a SaaS or enterprise software company, ideally in a high-growth environment.
- You have experience leading audits (bonus points for a company’s first audit) and can independently manage external audit relationships.
- You’ve been responsible for month-end close, consolidations, revenue recognition, and technical accounting at scale.
- You are comfortable operating with limited oversight. You know how to build, own, and improve accounting processes end-to-end.
- You have prior people management experience and enjoy mentoring and developing talent.
- You are US-based and knowledgeable about US accounting, payroll, and tax frameworks.
- You are process-oriented, detail-obsessed, and love building structure that scales.
- You are comfortable with ambiguity, and like tackling problems with unclear solutions. You're comfortable flexing outside of the bounds of accounting, and contributing to the company more broadly.
- Experience with Stripe, QuickBooks Online, and/or implementing an enterprise ERP (i.e. NetSuite).
- Exposure to IPO readiness, either at a company preparing for one or through advisory work at an accounting firm.
- Experience with global payroll, M&A, consolidations, and multi-entity setups.
Benefits:
- Competitive equity in a fast-growing, Series C startup backed by top-tier investors, including Y Combinator
- 10-year window to exercise vested equity options
- Fully remote and flexible work environment
- 4-5 weeks of suggested time off annually for mental, physical, and emotional recharge
