Job Description
About OptiSigns
  • Houston-based B2B SaaS powering digital screens for 30,500+ businesses
  • Profitable, high-growth, product-led culture—design and engineering are core values
Why this role exists
  • Rapid ARR growth, multi-currency revenue, and a German subsidiary add complexity
  • Need our first in-house Controller to replace “good-enough” bookkeeping with a scalable finance engine
  • Role is 5 days a week in our Houston office—you’ll be the heartbeat of finance on-site
What you’ll do
  • Own full U.S. and DE month-, quarter-, and year-end close; deliver GAAP financials, flux analyses, and board decks
  • Implement and optimize our finance stack (Xero, Stripe, Ramp, TaxJar, plus any add-ons you recommend)
  • 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
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous PTO & paid holidays
  • 401(k) with match (starting 2025)
  • Monthly learning stipend (courses, conferences, books)
  • Latest MacBook Pro / preferred dev setup
  • Collaborative, product-obsessed culture with direct access to leadership

We review every application personally and respond within a week.
