About NetVendor
NetVendor is a B2B SaaS platform property managers trust to reduce risk, strengthen vendor networks, and keep operations running smoothly. Our platform supports the full vendor lifecycle - from compliance and credentialing to maintenance and bidding - helping property management teams operate more efficiently and confidently at scale.
About the Role
We're hiring a Controller to own our accounting function end to end - close, reporting, audit, revenue, and controls - and to evolve how that function runs. This role comes at an important stage in our growth, and we're looking for an accounting leader who can combine hands-on ownership of the close with a forward-looking, AI-first mindset.
Two things set this role apart. First, you'll re-platform us: we run on QuickBooks Online today and have outgrown it, and you'll lead the selection process to choose and implement a modern AI-native general ledger. Second, we expect AI to be how the work gets done as we scale, not a side project - we're a lean finance org and we intend to stay one. Reporting to our CFO, you'll lead our accounting function in supporting a growth business with subscription and usage-based revenue, an established audit, and an engaged private equity sponsor & management team that expects strong partnership and timely, accurate, & defensible reporting.
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including within a B2B SaaS environment, with at least 2+ years in a Controller, Director of Accounting, or Assistant Controller capacity; bonus points for PE-backed experience
- An AI-first mindset with hands-on experience applying AI and automation to accounting workflows - close automation, reconciliations, anomaly detection, and reporting - and a practical approach to improving team productivity and accuracy; in the interview we'll ask you to walk through what you've built, what it replaced, and how you validated the output
- CPA (or equivalent), with a strong command of US GAAP
- Proven ability to shorten the monthly close cycle through process redesign, automation, and challenging the status quo; a vision for making the one-day close a reality by embracing new tech & AI
- Experience and familiarity with AI-native finance & revenue tools and close-automation platforms; including hands-on experience implementing an ERP - bonus points for AI-native ERP (Rillet, Campfire, etc.)
- Strong track record designing and operating accounting processes and internal controls that scale in a growing organization; you see documentation to the reperformance standard as table-stakes
- Experience owning ASC 606 revenue recognition across a subscription and/or usage-based model, including billing workflows/systems, AR, relevant SaaS metric reporting (ARR, NRR, GRR, etc.), and deferred revenue mechanics
- Comfortable being hands-on and have a genuine interest in running headcount clean in the new age of AI - we're a two-person team and you’ll be in the ledgers until you can automate your way out of them
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear insights and recommendations for finance & the management team
- Comfortable partnering closely with senior cross-functional leaders and operating as a trusted, solution-oriented thought partner
- Experience supporting audits, tax, and technical accounting in a growth-stage SaaS company
Responsibilities
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, delivering accurate and timely financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
- Own the accounting function end to end - general ledger, accounts payable, expense management, accounts receivable, payroll, revenue recognition, and reconciliations.
- Design, build, and maintain accounting processes & policies, controls, data governance practices, and workflows that scale with revenue and team growth while balancing accuracy with speed.
- Own revenue recognition under ASC 606, ensuring billing and revenue processes are accurate and audit-ready.
- Ensure accounting systems are practical, usable, and aligned to how the business actually operates.
- Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team, setting clear standards and helping the function mature as NetVendor grows.
- Apply automation and AI to enhance:
- Close acceleration and reconciliation
- Accounting ops efficiency
- Making our internal stakeholders’ lives easier
- Anomaly detection and exception review
- Reporting, data accuracy, and team productivity
- Own the architecture and integration of NetVendor's accounting technology stack, with the ERP as the system of record, ensuring tools work together effectively across the finance workflow.
- Identify and implement additional tools and technologies needed to run a scalable, modern accounting operation as NetVendor grows; forward investments in tech versus headcount.
- Own audit, tax, commercial insurance, and technical accounting matters, coordinating with external partners as needed.
- Provide analytical support, insights, and reporting to inform budgeting, forecasting, and operational decisions.
- Support investor and lender reporting requirements in partnership with the VP of Finance and CFO.
- Partner with the Director of FP&A and CFO as trusted thought partners on accounting strategy, systems, and scaling the function.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Revenue Operations, Customer Growth, Data, People Ops, and other departments to ensure alignment on data integrity, processes, and business objectives.
