About the role

Corporate Controller responsible for designing the internal control environment, owning the full external audit cycle, and compressing the close toward public-company standards to position Standard Bots for IPO readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close — and systematically drive the close timeline toward a best-in-class cadence
  • Design and implement the internal control environment from the ground up: COSO framework, segregation of duties, approval matrices, and SOX-caliber documentation and testing
  • Lead selection and onboarding of a PCAOB-registered external audit firm, and serve as the primary point of contact through the full audit cycle — owning PBC requests, walkthroughs, and audit support
  • Build out the internal audit function as the company scales toward IPO readiness
  • As we mature toward IPO readiness, present close, controls, and audit status to the board and audit committee alongside the CFO
  • Own technical accounting under US GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition (hardware, services, and deferred revenue), inventory and standard costing, and stock-based compensation
  • Author formal technical accounting position memos as needed for audit support
  • Own equity and stock plan administration (ASC 718, cap table systems, 409A valuations) and ensure scalable systems for public-company requirements
  • Build SEC reporting readiness, including familiarity with 10-K/10-Q drafting, XBRL tagging, and EGC accommodations under the JOBS Act
  • Partner with the Plant Controller on inventory accounting: cycle counts, wall-to-wall physical counts, reconciliations, and rollbacks
  • Lead the accounting workstream of ERP implementation (migrating off QuickBooks Online) and integration with HRIS, procurement, spend management
  • Write and roll out company-wide policies and procedures: procure-to-pay, T&E, close calendar, and delegation of authority
  • Use AI and automation to help scale the function without scaling headcount linearly
  • Build, mentor, and scale the accounting team as the company grows
  • Partner with the Senior Finance Manager on budget-vs-actuals reporting and forecast accuracy

Qualifications

  • CPA required; Big 4 or national firm foundation strongly preferred
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Public-company experience preferred — you've taken a company through an IPO (S-1 process, SOX 404 implementation) or operated the close and controls of a public company under PCAOB audit
  • A proven record of implementing controls where none existed — you've built the control environment, not just inherited one
  • Demonstrated success compressing close timelines in a growing company
  • Experience selecting and managing a PCAOB-registered audit firm
  • Experience with SEC reporting requirements and equity/stock plan administration systems
  • Manufacturing or hardware experience with inventory and standard costing strongly preferred
  • ERP implementation experience
  • A hands-on, in-the-weeds operating style — you're as comfortable posting a journal entry as presenting to leadership
  • The ability to work efficiently against aggressive deadlines and consistently hit close and audit dates
  • Curiosity and drive to apply AI tools to automate and improve accounting processes
