Snout helps veterinary clinics offer affordable monthly pet wellness plans, making preventive care accessible and stress-free for pet owners. Backed by 500 Global and Pear VC.
About the role
Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the U.S. We’re a small but mighty startup team of Controller , the foundational accounting seat at the company. You'll join early enough that everything you build becomes the way it's done, taking us from a fractional accounting provider to an in-house finance function you help design from the ground up. This is a hybrid role based in the New York metro area.
What they're looking for
- CPA required, with a public accounting foundation (Big 4 or national firm, audit practice) followed by operating-company experience owning a close, not just participating in or auditing one
- Experience taking a company through a first or early-stage audit, ideally at a lending, fintech, or subscription business
- Demonstrated fluency using AI as core infrastructure for your own work, drafting policy memos, building reconciliations, and automating close checklists
- Hands-on technical accounting depth in revenue recognition (ASC 606) and ideally receivables or financial instruments (ASC 310/326)
- Experience operating under lender reporting obligations: covenant packages, compliance certificates, and monthly deliverables with contractual deadlines
- Comfort building accounting systems rather than inheriting them, working from imperfect data, and sequencing pragmatically
