  • Design SOPs, approval workflows, internal controls, and a clean chart of accounts that withstand audit
  • Build 13-week cash forecasts, annual budgets, and scenario models (ARR, churn, CAC, headcount)
  • Manage U.S. federal / state income tax, franchise tax, sales-tax filings, R&D tax credit studies and filings , 1099s / W-8s, and German VAT; coordinate with external CPAs
  • Review and approve vendor payments, payroll, and employee expenses; optimize cash management and yields
  • Translate numbers into insights for leadership; partner with teams to hit growth and margin targets

    • Requirements

    What you bring

  • 6–10 years progressive accounting experience, including 2+ as Controller or Assistant Controller at a VC-backed tech / SaaS company (30–200 employees)
  • CPA required; deep U.S. GAAP knowledge and solid understanding of ASC 606 subscription revenue
  • Hands-on expertise with Xero or similar ERP and integrations (Stripe, Ramp, TaxJar, Expensify / Bill Pay, etc.)
  • Proven track record building finance processes from scratch and automating routine tasks
  • Experience coordinating R&D tax credit studies or working with specialty firms a strong plus
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (arrays, Power Query, scenario modeling)
  • Clear communicator who can explain finance to non-finance teammates
  • Authorized to work in the U.S. and able to commute to our Houston HQ daily

    • Bonus points

  • Experience with German accounting (DATEV) and EU compliance
  • Managed sales-tax nexus across 10+ states
  • Familiarity with SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, LTV / CAC) and board-level reporting
  • Big 4 audit background or IPO readiness work

    • Benefits

    Benefits & perks
