About the role

We're hiring an experienced Controller to own accounting and financial operations at Metabase. It's a broad startup controller role: you'll own core accounting and audit, along with tax, payments, and expense management. Today we run as a small, high-leverage team that delivers much of this through external firms - accountants and tax professionals - so your initial focus will be on managing those partners. Over time, there's scope to bring accounting in-house.

What they're looking for

  • Seasoned accountant with an active CPA
  • Expertise with US GAAP, SaaS revenue recognition, stock based compensation, multi-entity / international accounting
  • Owned full-cycle month end close / quarter end close processes and managed audits end-to-end
  • Prior experience in a startup and / or big 4 audit a plus
  • Undergraduate qualification in accounting, finance, or a rigorous quantitative field
  • Strong investigative skills - you spot when something is off and can reconstruct what happened

We cover a wide range of areas — finance and accounting, sales operations, legal operations, compliance, and account management — but we treat them all as flavors of operations. Whatever the task, we take a systems-driven approach — design it, build it, and run it (ideally, automatically). Our goal is to free the rest of the company to focus on building great software.
