Working Controller (AI-Forward) – US Accounting Firm (Full-Time, Remote)

Working Controller (AI-Forward) – US Accounting Firm (Full-Time, Remote)

We need a controller mindset, not a bookkeeper mindset. You'll carry your own US client load and lead the team, and you'll treat every client's financials as if you're responsible for them. That means you don't stop at "it reconciles." You ask whether the numbers make sense, catch what's wrong, and tell the owner what it means before they ask.

We're an AI-forward firm. You'll help build the AI workflows that run our close, not just use them.

REQUIRED

• 4+ years of month-end close for US clients in QuickBooks Online
• Experience being the final reviewer on client or executive deliverables
• Experience leading or training others while doing your own work
• Hands-on AI experience: you write detailed prompts and build reusable AI skills or workflows
• Familiar with Git
• Strong written English
• 6 hours overlap with California (Pacific) business hours

PAY: Based on experience, full-time

4. Give one real example of a problem you caught that nobody asked you to look for
5. Share a prompt or AI skill you've built for accounting work, or a link to a Git repo, and explain what it does in 2–3 sentences
