[Hiring] Controller @Higher People

Role Description

The Controller will report to the CFO and own accounting operations end to end: the monthly close, treasury and cash, financial reporting, financial systems, audits and financial process improvements.

This is a build role at a company growing quickly. You'll lead a small team and put durable structure around a capex-intensive balance sheet. The CFO's focus is capital raising, financial modeling, and long-range planning, which means the accounting function is genuinely yours to run.

It's also a role with room. You'll work on cash forecasting, lender and covenant reporting, board materials, and system projects that reach well beyond traditional accounting.
