With millions of customers worldwide, we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.
Tilt is looking for a Controller to lead our accounting operations and build the infrastructure to support public company readiness. Reporting to the Head of Accounting, you'll lead a team of accountants and partner closely with FP&A, Legal, and other stakeholders. This is a role for a hands-on leader who thrives on building.
What you'll do
- Lead all aspects of US accounting operations and consolidation, delivering accurate, timely financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
- Redesign accounting operations from the ground up, establishing best practices, standardizing processes, and creating the infrastructure needed to support IPO readiness and beyond.
- Design, implement, and maintain a robust system of internal controls that safeguards assets, ensures reporting integrity, and meets SEC and regulatory requirements.
- Manage and mentor a team of accountants, while also rolling up your sleeves as an individual contributor where needed.
- Identify where AI and automation can uplevel the team, shifting work from manual preparation to high-judgment review and analysis.
- Coordinate with internal stakeholders, external auditors, regulators, and investors, ensuring clear and transparent communication on the company's financial position.
What they're looking for
- Financial services background required — you've worked in a fintech or consumer credit environment and understand the nuanced accounting that comes with it.
- 10+ years in accounting/finance, with experience in a leadership role; equally comfortable as a manager and as someone who still gets their hands dirty.
- NetSuite power user — you can configure, optimize, and get the most out of the platform without outside help.
- You've rebuilt or stood up accounting operations before and know what "good" looks like for a company on the path to IPO.
- Curious about automation — excited about what it means for the future of accounting and eager to bring that thinking to the team.
Nice to have
- SQL familiarity is a plus — comfortable reading queries and working cross-functionally with data and FP&A teams.
