Aescape is seeking an experienced Controller to lead our day-to-day accounting function and partner closely with our Operations/Supply Chain, and Revenue Operations teams. This role will initially report to the SVP of Operations and is expected to transition reporting to the CFO once that position is filled.

This individual will be responsible for maintaining accurate financial records, leading the monthly close and financial reporting processes, strengthening internal controls, and building scalable accounting processes to support the company’s growth. The role will also partner closely with Operations/Supply Chain on inventory accounting, COGS, landed costs, manufacturing costs, and variances, and other financial aspects of our hardware business. The role will also collaborate closely with Revenue Operations on accounts receivable, customer billing, collections, revenue recognition, and related order-to-cash processes.

The Controller will work closely with and leverage support from the company's third-party accounting firm for accounting operations, technical accounting, financial reporting, tax, audit support, and other areas as appropriate.

This is a hands-on role well suited to someone who is highly responsive, operates with a sense of urgency, and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment. The ideal candidate can work independently, build and continuously improve processes, and balance strong accounting fundamentals with practical realities of a growing physical product, while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. The title of Controller will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

This role is hybrid, based out of our NYC office in Chelsea.
