  • CPA preferred but not required
  • Option 2 : Controller (Senior-Level)

  • Lead the full accounting function across five active entities
  • Oversee accounts payable, vendor payments, and reconciliation processes
  • Manage investor portal content, updates, and communication
  • Supervise finance-related email correspondence and investor inquiries
  • Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and performance reports
  • Support the CFO with financial strategy, compliance, and investor relations
  • Identify and implement operational improvements across financial workflows
  • Qualifications :

  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience with multi-entity oversight
  • CPA certification strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to independently manage complex accounting systems
  • Experience in fund management and / or e-commerce accounting is highly advantageous
  • Exceptional communication skills in English (both verbal and written)
  • Additional Information

  • This is a fully remote position requiring consistent availability during U.S. Eastern Time hours
  • Candidates must demonstrate fluency in English and comfort communicating with U.S.-based stakeholders
  • Immediate availability is strongly preferred due to ongoing growth and workload
  • To Apply :

    If you\'re a detail-oriented accounting professional ready to take ownership of key financial operations in a high-growth environment, we encourage you to apply. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact and work closely with leadership in a dynamic and fast-paced organization.
