Expert Opportunity - Sr. Financial Controller

About the role

We're assembling a very small group of experienced controllers to set the quality bar for AI-completed accounting work. The final graders and standard-setters, the same role a controller plays for their own accounting team, applied to AI-completed work.

Typical work

• Define what "done correctly" means: quality standards and rubric templates grounded in GAAP and internal-control practice, applied to tasks built from a real company's ledger
• Review and approve the scenarios and grading rules written by staff and senior accountants; adjudicate disagreements and edge cases, yours is the final call
• Spot-check AI-completed work against the rubrics and make the judgment that anchors the whole study: would this survive a controller's review?

Key Requirements

• 8+ years in accounting incl. real ownership of month-end close; controller or assistant-controller experience; CPA strongly preferred.
• Experience running or reviewing books across multiple entities or clients
• Managed and reviewed other accountants' work: comfortable making final quality calls and putting the reasoning in writing
• Praactical GAAP and internal-control fluency applied to small-company books
• Comfortable assessing messy, system-synced ledgers (QuickBooks/NetSuite/Sage integrations, duplicates, migration artifacts)
• Exceptionally crisp written standards: you can turn professional judgment into pass/fail rules that different graders apply the same way
