## About the role

As Assistant Controller, you'll be a key member of a lean finance team, working closely with the CFO to build and manage the company's core accounting infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment — you'll be both a doer and a builder, establishing processes that will scale with the company while managing the day-to-day close.

- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including some combination of public accounting (Big 4 or regional) and industry experience
- CPA preferred
- Deep knowledge of GAAP and technical accounting, specifically:
- Hands-on ASC 606 revenue recognition experience at a company selling bundled hardware and software subscriptions, including deferred revenue and allocating price across the pieces of a deal
- Hands-on ASC 330 inventory + COGS experience at a company selling bundled hardware and software subscriptions
- Experience owning or heavily contributing to a monthly close process
