Job Description
Technical Controller
Burkland
• Leverage your audit manager background to prepare monthly and annual GAAP financial statements and complex footnote disclosures that stand up to audit scrutiny. • Conduct technical review on complex, non-routine accounting positions and significant client deliverables. • Act as the internal technical expert, drafting and implementing accounting policies for startups. • Build and monitor internal control frameworks right-sized for startups—balancing risk mitigation with the speed of a remote, fast-paced environment. • Define, document, and enforce the quality control framework for client deliverables, including review checklists, sampling methodologies, and standards for technical accounting documentation. • Serve as a technical resource to internal client service teams, offering guidance, training, and documentation support on technical accounting standards and appropriate accounting. • Manage the tracking for internal issues and significant review points identified by the QC function, ensuring timely and effective remediation efforts are in place. • Translate complex data into clear narratives for founders, focusing on cash flow management, unit economics, and "what-if" scenario modeling. • Design real-time tracking for SaaS or E-commerce metrics (CAC, LTV, Churn) to drive data-backed board decisions. • Streamline the "close-to-report" cycle using cloud-based tech stacks. • Serve as the primary point of contact for founders, providing high-level oversight typically expected of a Controller or Audit Manager. • Lead clients through their first institutional audits, managing the relationship with external firms to ensure a seamless process.
