About the role

We’re hiring our first Controller to build and own Crosby’s accounting and financial operations function from the ground up. This is not a maintenance role — it’s a systems-building role. You’ll design the financial infrastructure of an AI-native company from first principles, ensuring our accounting, reporting, and controls scale with the business.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • CPA certification required
  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in high-growth startups or tech companies
  • Deep accounting expertise with a strong command of current US GAAP standards
  • Demonstrated experience building and scaling financial operations in a high-growth or “0→1” environment
  • Proficiency with modern accounting systems (experience with AI-native or automation-forward ERPs is a plus) and broader financial tooling
More about this role

Crosby is built on a simple conviction: a great legal system is the watermark of a great society — and the best legal work comes from combining human expertise with the right technology, not replacing one with the other.

Crosby is the first AI-native law firm, helping ambitious companies like Cursor, Ramp, and Cognition sign commercial contracts faster.

Legal work is both art and science, and we're mapping the frontier between the two — codifying what can be systematized, amplifying human judgment where it matters most. That's why the right way to bring AI into law isn't to sell software and walk away. It's to own the outcome together: higher-quality work, delivered faster. We build proprietary tools and human-in-the-loop workflows that change what's possible for corporate legal teams.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Stanford Law, Cooley, startup GC) and John (Penn, first 15 engineers at Ramp). Help us transform one of society's most important industries.
