About the Role

We are hiring a Controller to build a scalable, best-in-class accounting function. You will own the monthly close, internal controls, accounting policy, tax compliance, treasury, and compliance, and you will own Ambience's annual external audit. You will partner closely with the VP Finance to shape our financial strategy and serve as the senior accounting voice across the company. This is a hands-on, build-from-the-ground-up role for someone who wants to set the standard for how a high-growth company keeps trustworthy books.

Responsibilities

Own U.S. GAAP-compliant financial statements and the monthly close, bringing process in-house and making it scalable.
Own the annual external audit - preparation, execution, documentation, controls, and reconciliations - and serve as primary auditor liaison.
Establish core accounting policies: revenue recognition (ASC 606), expense management, capitalization, and lease accounting (ASC 842).
Own indirect tax compliance including multi-state SaaS nexus analysis, registration, and remittance.
Manage the relationship with external tax advisors for federal and state income tax provision and filings.
Own treasury operations including cash management, disbursements, and bank relationships.
Evaluate and implement accounting systems and automation; streamline the end-to-end order-to-cash process with the deal desk.
Build and lead the accounting team, and manage the outsourced accounting partner (Attivo) for bookkeeping, review, and reconciliation.
Partner with finance and operations on variance analysis, pipeline-to-ARR tracking, and MD&A for leadership and the Board.
Partner with the VP Finance on financial strategy, reporting to the Board, and building the infrastructure to support Ambience's next phase of growth.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Deal Desk, People, and Product to ensure accounting treatment keeps pace with new contract structures, headcount growth, and product launches.

Requirements

8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a Controller or Assistant Controller role at a high-growth or venture-backed company.
Deep U.S. GAAP expertise, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation, and capitalization.
Demonstrated experience leading or supporting an external audit and standing up internal controls.
A track record building scalable close processes and selecting or implementing accounting systems.
Strong cross-functional communication; able to translate accounting into clear narratives for non-finance partners, leadership, and the Board.
CPA required.
Big 4 or national firm public accounting experience strongly preferred.
Experience leading a company's annual audit at a venture-backed company (Series B-D).
Familiarity with NetSuite or a comparable ERP and modern close tooling.
Healthcare or SaaS revenue recognition experience.
