Controller

WarpWarp is the AI-native Employee Management Platform for ambitious companies. Our platform includes HRIS, payroll, IT, benefits, tax compliance, and more—all built from scratch on an AI-native architecture from day one. Warp embeds itself into every part of a company's people operating layer, processing over half a billion dollars annually in payroll, on track to grow to $2B. We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. We're in the office five days a week because speed and proximity are a competitive advantage at this stage.

About the role

We're hiring our first Controller to own the books and financial operations of a company that moves real money every day. You'll run accounting, close, tax, and the controls a payroll and money-movement business depends on. This is a hands-on IC role reporting to the Head of Finance.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly close and keep the books clean and audit-ready.
• Run accounting operations: AP, AR, billing reconciliation, and revenue recognition as we migrate billing to ACH.
• Own corporate tax and compliance filings, working with our outside tax partners.
• Reconcile money movement. We process tens of millions in monthly volume across multiple rails, soon including our own. The numbers tie out, every time.
• Build financial controls and processes that scale from 30 to 70+ people without adding chaos.
• Partner with the Head of Finance on reporting and with Ops on tax compliance.

Requirements

• 5+ years in accounting and controllership, ideally including a high-growth startup.
• CPA or equivalent rigor. You care about getting the details exactly right.
• Hands-on with close, reconciliation, and accounting systems.
• Comfortable in a company where money movement is core to the product, not a side function.
• High ownership and autonomy. You see a broken process and fix it.

Nice to Have

• Payroll, payments, or fintech background.
• You've helped a company prep for its first formal audit.

Benefits

• 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.
• 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one.
• Unlimited PTO: Flexible PTO, trusted to take the time you need to recharge while balancing responsibilities and team commitments.
• Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits for your daily trip to our NYC office.
• Catered Lunch Daily: Great food, every day, on us.
• Quarterly Offsites: Beautiful locations to connect as a team. Past locations include Spain and Catskills.

Warp is based in New York City, and we prioritize candidates who can commit to being on-site 5x per week.
