This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to overseeing monthly and yearly financial closes, no day will be a typical day.
You will be supporting our startup clients who need Controller expertise at their growth stage (usually we work with Seed through Series C clients). So, there is always a lot of work to be done!
You’ll be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize, and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role.
You’ll be managing accountants and processes for our clients and possibly internally to Burkland, too, so you’ll want to have a background in management.
Embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is a must.

You have a Bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, finance, or something similar.
