Controller

Role Summary

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS NOW

Since starting 18 months ago, we’ve raised $100,000,0000+ from world-class investors such as Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, Contrary Ventures and Google Ventures, as well as more than 20 angel investors who’ve built, scaled, and exited some of the most impactful companies of the last decade.

We got there by moving incredibly fast and hiring an exceptionally sharp, hard-working and deeply committed team from leading tech and accounting companies - Ramp, Meta, Microsoft, Lyft, PwC, Deloitte, J.P. Morgan, Bloomberg, Sage, Xero and Intuit. And some of us don't have a fancy logo on our resume and are here for a shot to prove ourselves.

We’re a small team, growing fast with huge momentum - join early.

As our Controller, you’ll own and drive DualEntry’s highest-priority company initiatives and ensure our strategy translates into measurable execution across all departments including Product, Engineering, GTM, and CX.

In addition, you’ll independently lead high-impact strategic initiatives that accelerate growth and strengthen how the company operates. You’ll also work directly with the CEO and leadership team to shape key decisions and unblock critical priorities.

This is an intense, hands-on role with full ownership. We expect you to push for excellence and raise the bar.
