[Hiring] Controller @Catch Creation

Role Description

This is not a "manage clean books" role. We are in the middle of a meaningful financial infrastructure upgrade — transitioning from cash basis to accrual accounting, migrating from QuickBooks Online to NetSuite, and preparing for a formal audit with a national CPA firm (BDO). We need someone who has done this before, who does not flinch at a cleanup project, and who can own the process end to end.

If you have inherited messy books and left them clean — this role was written for you.

What You'll Own

• Lead and execute our transition from cash basis to accrual accounting, including restating historical financials and rebuilding the chart of accounts.
• Own the migration from QuickBooks Online to NetSuite, partnering with our external NetSuite implementation consultant to ensure the system is configured correctly from day one.
• Lead pre-audit book cleanup in direct coordination with BDO, our external audit firm.
• Own and manage the formal audit process from start to finish.
• Own month end and year end close, ensuring accurate and timely financial statements.
• Manage all aspects of the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll.
• Build and maintain a strong internal controls environment to safeguard company assets.
• Prepare and present monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports to the CEO and leadership team.
• Identify and implement process improvements as we build a finance function that can scale.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience transitioning a company from cash basis to accrual accounting — you have done this, recently, and can speak to it specifically.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite — migration or implementation experience strongly preferred.
• Experience working directly with an external audit firm on audit preparation and execution.
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a Controller or senior accounting role.
• CPA designation (or local equivalent) strongly preferred.
• Deep knowledge of US GAAP.

Requirements

• Prior experience at a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young, or KPMG) in audit or tax — Philippines, Latin America, or Eastern Europe specifically.
• Experience in e-commerce, DTC, or consumer products — multi-channel revenue recognition is a plus.
• Prior experience migrating from QuickBooks Online to an ERP system.

Benefits

• Real ownership. You will be the architect of our finance function — this is not a support role.
• High visibility. Direct access to the CEO and leadership. Your work shapes decisions at the top.
• Room to build. As we scale, you build the team under you.
• Serious problem to solve. We are a 9 figure brand doing meaningful infrastructure work — the kind of challenge that sharpens careers.
