Remote Controller for a US Events and E-Commerce Group (Full-Time, Long-Term)

We run three connected companies from Dallas, Texas: a college events and media company, a custom golf accessories brand, and a venture studio. We are building the finance function properly, and this hire is the foundation of it.

We are looking for a Controller who wants to grow toward CFO. You will report to our Chief Operating Officer. When we hire a CFO in Dallas later, you will report to them, and the work you build now becomes the department you helped create.

What you will own

• Month-end close for three entities, bank-reconciled, finished by business day 5
• A payroll calendar mapped a quarter ahead, with funding verified before every run. Payroll never misses on your watch
• Every invoice logged with its due date, and an aging report that makes a silently past-due bill impossible
• Weekly cash reporting for each company against its floor
• A one-page Friday money summary that our COO and founder read to run the companies
• Clean records across QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe, and Wise that would stand up to outside diligence

What you will not own

Payment approval, pricing, or tax filings. You prepare, flag, and escalate. Our CPA firm handles filings with the complete, on-time work you give them.

What we need from you

• Philippine CPA license, or 7 or more years of accounting experience including 2 or more years owning a full month-end close for a US company
• Working fluency in both QuickBooks Online and Xero
• Hands-on Stripe and Wise reconciliation experience
• Multi-entity bookkeeping with clean intercompany balances
• Clear, direct written English. You will write to founders every week
• A reliable home office with backup power and internet, and daily overlap with US Central time

Pay and terms

$2,200 to $3,200 US dollars per month depending on experience, full-time and long-term, with 13th month pay. Top-of-market pay for top-of-market work. We are building a core team, and we hire people we intend to keep and promote.

How hiring works here

Shortlisted candidates complete one paid test task: reconcile a messy sample month and write the one-page cash report you would send us every Friday. We pay for the test because we respect your time, and because the test is the job in miniature. Final candidates complete identity verification and reference checks, and everyone signs a contractor agreement before system access begins.

To apply

Send your resume and answer these three questions in your message:

1. Describe the last month-end close you owned end to end. How many entities, and by what business day did you finish.
2. Walk us through how you make sure a payroll run is funded before its date.
3. Tell us about a time you caught an error everyone else had missed. What was it, and how did you find it.

We read every application that answers all three questions.
