[Hiring] Controller @240 Tutoring, Inc

Role Description

Can you turn financial complexity into something anyone can understand? Do you get excited about leading the finance function and still being in the weeds—all in the same day? Are you eager to use your finance expertise to fuel a mission that gets more teachers into the classroom? If you answered “YES!” to all three, you may be a good fit for this role!

This role owns the accounting function end-to-end, from the close and the ledger to controls, payroll, order-to-cash, tax and compliance, for a profitable company with two business lines, partner and district billing, deferred program revenue, and employees in approximately fifteen states.

The CFO owns forecasting, capital allocation, and the board relationship. You own the fact that the numbers are right, on time, explainable, and audit-ready. This is a hands-on seat. You will close the books yourself as often as you review someone else's work, and you will be the person who turns manual, spreadsheet-dependent processes into systems that hold up at twice our current size.
