## About the role

We’re looking for an Accounting & Controls Manager to own Outlast’s books end-to-end — and grow into our Controller. You’ll run the monthly close, keep the day-to-day transactional engine clean, own inventory accounting for physical metal, manage cash and our credit-facility reporting, and build the control environment a scaling company needs before its first audit, not after. You’ll be the primary point of contact for our external auditors and banks.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve owned a close. 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a monthly close — calendar, entries, reconciliations, and the deadline
- You’re credentialed. Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required, CPA strongly preferred
- Your GAAP and controls are real. Accruals, cutoffs, revenue recognition, inventory/COGS accounting, and internal controls you can apply without looking them up, and explain to a non-accountant
- You have range. Equally credible posting a journal entry and writing the policy that governs it. Controller-level judgment, bookkeeper-level willingness
- You’re strong with systems. Deep QuickBooks Online (or equivalent ERP) skills, comfort with integrated fintech stacks like Ramp and bill-pay tools, and ideally a migration or implementation under your belt
- You’re accurate under deadline. Detail-obsessed, tie-out disciplined, and calm when close week collides with an urgent ask
