Financial Controller

About the role

We are seeking a hands-on Financial Controller at Dexmate. This role is foundational: you will set up and own our core accounting infrastructure, including hardware-specific accounting, while also serving as a strategic finance partner to leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly and quarterly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals.
• Build and maintain scalable accounting systems, chart of accounts, and internal controls from the ground up.
• Manage day-to-day accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and expense management.
• Ensure accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements and maintain audit-ready records.
• Evaluate and implement finance systems (accounting software, expense platforms, payroll, procurement) to support the company's growth.
• Stand up inventory accounting and cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) processes across raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished robots.
• Build BOM-based product costing and track manufacturing variances and overhead allocation.
• Manage capital expenditure tracking and fixed-asset accounting for prototyping, tooling, and lab/manufacturing equipment.
• Partner with hardware, supply chain, and procurement teams on vendor payment terms, purchase orders, and supplier accounting.
• Build and maintain financial models, budgets, and forecasts to support planning and decision-making.
• Prepare board decks, investor updates, and financial reporting packages.
• Support fundraising efforts, including data room preparation, diligence requests, and cap table management.
• Own equity and stock-based compensation accounting (409A coordination, ISO/RSU accounting, cap table reconciliation).
• Partner with the CEO and leadership team on headcount planning, burn rate management, and runway analysis.
• Develop KPIs and dashboards to track company and departmental financial performance.
• Advise leadership on the financial implications of key business decisions as the company scales.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, ideally including time at a startup or high-growth company.
• Prior experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accounting Manager, with hands-on ownership of the full close cycle.
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP, including stock-based compensation accounting; experience preparing audit-ready financials.
• Comfort operating as a "builder" — able to set up processes and systems from scratch with little existing infrastructure.
• Experience supporting fundraising, investor reporting, or board materials is a strong plus.
• Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite) and strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills.
• Experience with inventory, COGS, and cost accounting in a hardware, manufacturing, or robotics environment is a strong plus given Dexmate's product.
• Excellent communication skills and the judgment to work closely and directly with the CEO and leadership team.
• High integrity and discretion when handling confidential financial and company information.

Qualifications

• Highly organized and detail-oriented with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience with financial modeling and budgeting.
• Knowledge of financial regulations and compliance requirements.

Skills

• Strong understanding of GAAP and IFRS.
• Experience with financial systems and software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite).
• Expertise in financial modeling and forecasting.
• Strong project management and organizational skills.
• Experience with inventory management and cost accounting.
