About Frontline Wildfire Defense

At Frontline Wildfire Defense , our mission is to protect homes, families, and communities from wildfire disasters. Our innovative wildfire defense system allows homeowners to track wildfires, receive critical alerts, and actively safeguard their properties using a remotely operated fire protection system. With multiple layers of redundancy, our system hydrates homes and surrounding areas to prevent ignition from flying embers—the #1 cause of structure loss during wildfires.

About This Opportunity

As a Financial Controller , you will lead the accounting function and build a scalable financial infrastructure to support Frontline’s rapid growth. Reporting to the CFO and managing a small, high-performing team (2–3 people), the Controller will oversee all accounting operations, implement robust systems and controls, and partner cross-functionally to improve financial accuracy, transparency, and efficiency. The ideal candidate has a blend of construction and SaaS accounting experience, strong operational skills, and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting Operations & Compliance

  • Oversee daily accounting operations including general ledger, cash flow, A / P, A / R, payroll, revenue recognition, and inventory.
  • Lead month-end and quarter-end close processes with timely reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statement preparation.
  • Ensure GAAP compliance through clear documentation, ASC memos, capitalization policies, and stock-based compensation accounting.
  • System Implementation & Process Optimization
  • Drive automation by building scalable workflows that reduce manual effort and support long-term growth.
  • Lead requirements gathering and successful implementation of an ERP system and related financial tools.
  • Proactively evaluate new technologies (e.g., AI tools) to improve efficiency and accuracy.

Strategic Finance & Leadership

  • Collaborate with department leaders to manage budgets and lead budget-to-actual reporting processes.
  • Support internal and external audits and ensure timely tax compliance across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
  • Hire, develop, and manage a small but high-performing accounting team, fostering accountability and continuous learning.
  • Who You Are :

  • Thrive in complex, multi-entity or multi-revenue-stream business models, with the ability to untangle operational nuance and bring financial clarity.
  • A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and can prioritize competing demands in a fast-paced setting.
  • Proactive problem-solver with a strong sense of ownership and a solutions-oriented mindset.
  • A process improver with a passion for automation, systemization, and scalability—always looking for opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve accuracy. Comfortable experimenting with AI tools and emerging technologies to drive efficiency and uncover insights.
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to explain complex financial topics to cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Curious and growth-minded, eager to learn and continuously improve.
  • Qualifications

  • Expertise in both construction accounting and SaaS accounting operations
  • Deep understanding of US GAAP and internal control frameworks, with strong knowledge of core accounting processes and procedures.
  • Strong operational finance background in a high-growth technology startup
  • Experience implementing ERP systems and other financial automation tools
  • Proven leadership and team development experience
  • CPA or equivalent certification preferred
  • Today’s tools include QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Payroll, Avalara, LiveFlow, Pulley, and Google Workspace.
  • Tomorrow’s tools may include an ERP system (e.g., Intacct, Acumatica, NetSuite), AP automation (e.g., Ramp, Bill.com), AR automation (e.g., Maxio, Versapay, High Radius), FP&A platforms (e.g., Pigment, Planful), and Payroll solutions (e.g., Paylocity, Rippling, Gusto).
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive Base Salary Range : $150,000-$170,000, based on experience.
  • Company-provided laptop and tools for remote work.
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
  • 401(k) Plan.
  • Flexible time-off policy + 10 paid holidays per year.
  • Remote-first work environment, fostering work-life balance and autonomy.
  • Join a passionate, mission-driven team making a real difference.
  • And much more!
  • Join Our Mission!

    If you're excited about building financial systems that support life-saving technology, we want to hear from you! Apply today and become part of a fast-growing, purpose-driven team redefining wildfire defense.

    Diversity and inclusion are essential values at Frontline. We know we'll do our best and most impactful work when we feel represented and we belong. We encourage talented people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
