Description
Controller
Westminster, CO (Hybrid, 2 Days/Month Onsite)
An early-stage mineral processing technology company is looking for a Controller to own accounting and financial reporting as the business moves into commercial growth. Much of the finance function is still being built, so this person will set up the close process, policies, controls, and systems the company will run on as it scales. A strong fit for a hands-on accounting leader who wants to build from the ground up in a lean team rather than inherit an established process.
Highlights
Base salary $130K-$170K plus annual bonus and equity
Hybrid schedule, onsite just 2 days a month in Westminster, CO and remote otherwise
Ground-floor opportunity to design the close, controls, and accounting policies
Full ownership of NetSuite, including configuration, workflows, and reporting
Broad technical scope including revenue recognition, equipment accounting, and stock-based compensation
Direct exposure to leadership and the board, plus fundraising diligence support
Responsibilities
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close and produce GAAP financial statements
Prepare the monthly financial package for leadership and the board, including variance analysis and commentary
Set up and refine the chart of accounts, close calendar, and core accounting processes
Manage related-party and intercompany activity, including billing, cost allocations, and settlements
Write and maintain accounting policies for revenue, fixed assets, leases, and equity
Apply ASC 606, 718, and 842 to customer arrangements, equity awards, and leases, and account for processing units and field equipment
Lead the annual audit and coordinate with outside tax advisors across all operating locations
Support 409A valuations and keep equity records reconciled to the cap table
Own NetSuite and oversee AP, AR, payroll, and expense processes
Hire and develop accounting staff as the company grows
Partner on budgeting, cash forecasting, and project-level cost tracking
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in accounting required
7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time at the Controller or Assistant Controller level
Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and comfort writing technical accounting memos
Willingness to be hands-on in a small team
Public accounting experience (Big 4, national, or regional firm) strongly preferred
CPA preferred
Experience at a venture-backed or high-growth company building out its accounting function a plus
NetSuite experience a plus
Exposure to mining, industrial equipment, energy, hardware, or cleantech a plus
A strong opportunity for an accounting leader who wants to build a finance function from scratch with real ownership and a seat close to leadership.
