About the role

Controller position at Arketa, leading in-house accounting, month-end close, financial reporting, tax and audit, with path from individual contributor to Senior Controller as the company builds its finance function.

Responsibilities

  • Month-end close & financial reporting: Drive a timely, accurate close and produce monthly financial statements that leadership can trust and act on.
  • Audit leadership: Serve as primary liaison to our external audit firm, prepare schedules, respond to PBC requests, and manage the audit timeline.
  • Internal controls & GL structure: Design and maintain the control environment, including correct account and department mapping, clean categorization rules, and documentation that will hold up under audit scrutiny.
  • Tax compliance & coordination: Manage tax filings and coordination with external tax partners, including credits (e.g., R&D) and multi-state considerations.
  • Payables & receivables: Manage the full AP/AR cycle, including vendor bill pay, employee reimbursements, invoicing, and collections, ensuring nothing sits stale or miscategorized.
  • Bookkeeping & accounting operations: Own day-to-day bookkeeping alongside higher-level accounting: transaction categorization, journal entries, and general ledger maintenance across banking, payroll, payments, and accounting systems. Use AI to speed up repetitive, time-consuming work while applying your own judgment to get it right.

Qualifications

  • Typically 5+ years of progressive accounting experience. We care more about relevance than tenure, so a strong candidate with 3 to 4 years doing exactly this work is encouraged to apply.
  • Big 4 (public accounting) training or experience in the accounting function of a large company, ideally followed by a move into a high-ownership, early-stage environment
  • Deep command of core accounting: month-end close, financial reporting, internal controls, payables and receivables, and tax
  • A high-ownership mindset and genuine enjoyment of hands-on work
  • Comfort with ambiguity and building process where none exists
  • Best-in-class attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to accuracy
  • You use AI to move faster on repetitive, time-consuming tasks while still exercising your own judgment
  • Authorization to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
