## OPPORTUNITY

## CONTROLLER

As Controller, you’ll own the accounting and financial operations that keep the company running as we scale to $20M ARR and beyond

You’ll work to automate the accounting tech stack — building A/R agents, A/P agents, and intelligent workflows that eliminate manual work and accelerate insight.

We’re open to two profiles: a Sr. Manager ready to step into a Controller seat and prove themselves through AI-driven execution, or an experienced Controller who is genuinely hungry to go deep on AI — and can show it. Either way, you must be excited about building, not just running, the accounting function.

This role is based in Austin, TX and reports directly to the CFO

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Own all aspects of accounting operations, including monthly close, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
- Manage the general ledger, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance with GAAP and ASC 606.
- Oversee revenue recognition, contract setup, and integration of billing data from Stripe etc.
- Prepare for the company’s first audit for FY2026, ensuring systems and documentation are audit-ready.
- Design and deploy AI agents for A/R, A/P, and reconciliation workflows — building automations that reduce manual touch points and accelerate the close.
- Evaluate, implement, and maintain automation and AI-based tools to improve close speed, accuracy, and financial visibility.
- Manage expense and card program operations, including policy enforcement and spend analytics.
- Partner with the CFO on system selection (Transition from QBO to Rillet, Campfire etc.), integration, and rollout of FP&A and reporting platforms.
- Support the development of scalable accounting and finance infrastructure to grow with the business.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with RevOps, Finance, and Go-To-Market teams to align processes and data flows.

## WHAT YOU BRING

- CPA or equivalent experience managing audit processes and ASC 606 compliance.
- 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience in SaaS or technology companies.
- Experience leading or owning a financial close process.
- Strong understanding of SaaS metrics and revenue recognition principles.
- Hands-on experience with AI tools — you’ve built automations, used AI assistants to accelerate workflows, or deployed agents in a business context.
- Proven ability to implement and optimize accounting systems, integrations, and workflow automations.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with minimal layers.

## WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE

- You’ll build a modern, AI-first finance function from the ground up alongside an experienced CFO.
- You’ll design and own the automation architecture for A/R, A/P, and the financial close — agents you build will run the business.
- You’ll directly influence how Boom scales efficiently.
- You’ll join a mission-driven team that values innovation, efficiency, and inclusion.

## BENEFITS OF WORKING AT BOOM

- Competitive salary with stock options
- Full healthcare coverage (health, dental, vision) including 50% coverage for dependents
- 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year + 3 sick days + all US federal holidays (11 in total) (note: we think unlimited PTO is BS and causes some employees to feel guilty when they take it)
- Company-issued laptop/MacBook
- Company-sponsored training & development
- Regular off-sites, retreats, and other company-sponsored events and travel opportunities
