Controller
Motorq
Role Description Motorq is looking for an experienced, senior finance professional to serve as its part-time Controller — a fractional role designed for someone who has held full-time Controller or VP Finance positions and is now choosing to apply that expertise across a select portfolio of high-growth companies. Reporting to Finance leadership and working closely with the Accounting Manager, the Controller is the most senior accounting authority at Motorq. You will: - Own the integrity of Motorq's financial statements — reviewing and approving monthly and quarterly close packages prepared by the Accounting Manager, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and GAAP compliance. - Manage the external audit relationship — serving as Motorq's primary point of contact with external auditors, coordinating the annual audit process, and ensuring the company is audit-ready throughout the year. - Establish and maintain a robust internal controls framework — identifying control gaps, implementing improvements, and ensuring the accounting function scales appropriately as the company grows. - Oversee revenue recognition policy and application — ensuring Motorq's treatment of SaaS contracts, multi-element arrangements, and professional services is consistent, documented, and compliant with ASC 606. - Manage tax compliance coordination — working with external tax advisors to ensure timely and accurate filing of federal, state, and local tax obligations, including sales tax across multiple jurisdictions. - Prepare or review board and investor financial reporting packages — ensuring financial materials are accurate, clearly presented, and appropriately contextualized for a Series B company. - Support fundraising, due diligence, and strategic finance processes as needed — providing clean historical financials, accounting memos, and technical accounting guidance. - Mentor and provide oversight to the Accounting Manager, serving as a resource for technical accounting questions and a quality check on close deliverables. - Evaluate and improve Motorq's accounting systems and tools — recommending upgrades or integrations as the company's needs evolve. Qualifications - 10+ years of accounting experience, including significant time in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or VP Finance role at a company (not exclusively in public accounting). - CPA required. - Deep expertise in GAAP, financial reporting, and technical accounting — particularly revenue recognition (ASC 606), equity accounting, and multi-jurisdiction compliance. - Experience managing external audits at a venture-backed technology or SaaS company. - Familiarity with SaaS business models, subscription billing, and the accounting nuances of API- and data-platform businesses. - Proficiency with accounting systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage Intacct. - Prior experience in a fractional or part-time Controller capacity is a plus but not required — what matters is the depth of full-time operating experience. Requirements - Senior and seasoned — you have seen the full accounting lifecycle at a growing company and you bring the judgment that comes from having navigated audits, fundraises, and compliance challenges firsthand. - A hands-on reviewer — you don't just sign off; you look closely, ask the right questions, and catch issues before they become problems. - A clear communicator — you can explain a technical accounting position to a non-accountant, present financials to a board, and write a concise accounting memo with equal facility. - Trustworthy and discreet — you handle sensitive financial information with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. - Collaborative — you work constructively with the Accounting Manager, Finance leadership, and external advisors, and you are invested in making the team around you better. - Flexible and pragmatic — you understand the realities of a fast-growing startup and know how to apply rigorous standards without creating unnecessary bureaucracy. Logistics - Part-time / fractional engagement — approximately 2–3 days per week, with flexibility to scale up during audit, board reporting, and fundraising periods. - Remote, with occasional in-person availability in the SF Bay Area preferred. - Structured as a contractor or part-time employee depending on mutual preference. Compensation - Competitive part-time / fractional compensation, structured as an hourly rate or monthly retainer. - Equity participation (pro-rated).
