Financial Controller – Remote, $100k/year

About the role

You will run global finance operations through a team of Senior Accountants while staying close enough to the work to know whether it is actually right. You’ll inspect invoices, payments, reconciliations, allocations, and other finance outputs; diagnose the accounting or process failures behind errors; and turn those findings into written coaching that prevents the same mistakes from happening again.

Key responsibilities

• Run day‑to‑day finance operations through Senior Accountants, continuously prioritizing work based on deadlines, business impact, dependencies, and financial risk.
• Inspect finance dashboards and completed work to ensure bills, invoices, payments, bank transactions, reconciliations, control accounts, revenue, and spend allocations are accurate and current.
• Diagnose quality failures using accounting expertise, identifying root causes such as incorrect data, system configuration, accounting treatment, or process execution.
• Write evidence‑based coaching that explains what went wrong, how to correct it, and how to prevent recurrence.
• Identify opportunities to use AI, LLMs, and automation to eliminate manual work and improve speed and accuracy of finance operations.
