We’re looking for a technical, hands-on Controller to serve as the right hand to our CFO. Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with the CEO, you’ll own our accounting function end to end, from close and reporting to audit, technical accounting, and investor reporting.
This is not a role for maintaining the status quo. We expect our Controller to rebuild how finance works, using AI and modern tooling to redesign our close, reconciliation, and reporting processes so the team scales without adding headcount at the same rate as the business.
This role is ideal for a licensed CPA with deep technical accounting skills, insurance industry experience, and the judgment to act as a true partner to the CFO. You thrive in high-accountability environments, take pride in accurate and well-documented work, and are energized by building rather than inheriting.
This is a hybrid role based in our NYC office, with an expectation of 3–4 days per week in office.
