About the Role
Snapdocs is seeking a Controller to own the accounting function end-to-end, bringing independent CPA-level judgment to keep the core operation tight and modernize accounting processes.
Responsibilities
- Own the accounting function end to end, including close, audit readiness, technical accounting, compliance with GAAP, and core reporting operations.
- Lead and develop the accounting team, with day-one management responsibility for 2 direct reports and oversight across the broader team structure.
- Build a clear view of where accounting needs to go over the next 12 months, then turn that view into a practical roadmap.
- Shorten close timelines, reduce manual work, and improve how accounting systems and processes run across the function.
- Partner with Product, Revenue, Customer Success, and Finance earlier in decision-making so accounting shapes the work instead of reacting late to it.
- Guide accounting decisions tied to new products, pricing or packaging changes, contract structure, and other business changes with real technical judgment.
- Evaluate how the team is structured today and what the team is prioritizing, then make changes when a different operating model, sequencing, or resourcing approach would better support the company.
- Use AI to change how the work gets done: shortening close, reducing manual review, improving decision-making, and building repeatable workflows with appropriate checks.
- Point to real examples of how you've used AI in accounting operations, where it worked, where it didn't, and how you validated outputs before they affected the books.
Requirements
- CPA required.
- 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful time owning the controller seat or operating at a near-controller level.
- Strong command of technical accounting, GAAP, audit management, and accounting controls.
- Experience running an audit and close process with real ownership, not as one part of a heavily layered organization.
- Track record of improving accounting operations in a lean environment where judgment and execution both matter.
- Experience leading teams through process change, systems change, or organizational redesign.
- Comfort making recommendations and decisions independently, with clear reasoning behind the call.
- Strong cross-functional instincts. You know how to insert accounting early, influence upstream decisions, and build credibility across the business.
- Experience in SaaS or other recurring-revenue environments is useful.
- Experience in transaction-based or operationally messy models is even better.
- Hands-on experience with modern accounting tools is preferred.
- Experience with Rillet, Tabs, or similarly modern accounting systems will stand out.
