The Role
We are looking for a dynamic + strategic teammate at Burkland. If you have a background as a Controller and a passion for helping venture-backed startups succeed, Burkland is a wonderful fit for you!
The Controller position is a hands-on role, responsible for implementing processes and systems for our clients - including mapping out needs, choosing a system, and setting up, and implementing the system.
Your Typical, Atypical, Day
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 (hence the typical, atypical day).
You will be supporting our startup clients who need Controller help but may not have a need for an internal team 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.
About You
You are naturally curious and a problem-solver. You’re someone who likes to learn and is eager to take on new challenges, especially when it comes to cutting-edge technology and emerging industries.
You are a communicator at your core. Bonus points if you have customer or client service experience; this is a cornerstone of the role.
You lead with integrity in all that you say and do.
You take the initiative and jump at the opportunity to explore new ways of doing things.
You take an acutely accurate approach to your work and look forward to the parts of your job that require analytical thinking.
You are an expert collaborator! You ask for and give feedback regularly.
You’re pals with GAAP.
You have a Bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, finance, or something similar, and over 5 years of progressive experience.
CPA or CMA is a bonus.
