Assistant Controller

Description

Directeam empowers startups to scale AWS efficiently through our premier FinOps ecosystem. We combine our flagship automated savings engine, Sombrero Savings, with our latest breakthrough: a Real-Time AI FinOps Agent. As a top-tier AI-Native AWS Partner, we don’t just manage costs, we turn cloud waste into business runway.

Our AI-backed service is already live across our client base, cutting monthly cloud costs by an average of over 30%. This is what makes us the category leader in cloud optimization, and we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for an Assistant Controller to be the right hand of our VP Finance. You’ll run the day-to-day finance operations of a fast-growing company: month-end close, expense control, collections and vendor payments. You’ll also use AI tools to build and automate the processes around them. This is a hands-on role with real ownership, where your work directly shapes how the business runs and your path toward Controller is built into the job.

What You’ll Do

• Support and run the month-end close, including journal entries, reconciliations and accruals.
• Control expenses, monitor actuals against budget and flag deviations early.
• Track open invoices, follow up with customers and report aging.
• Manage the vendor payment cycle end to end.
• Perform compliance controls and make sure documentation is in order.
• Ensure data accuracy across billing, bookkeeping and finance systems.
• Spot inefficiencies, then build and automate processes using AI tools instead of repeating manual work.
• Work closely with the VP Finance, Bookkeeper, Billing Operations and other teams across the company.

Requirements

• Licensed CPA (internship completed).
• Up to 2 years of experience in a CPA firm or a hi-tech company.
• Hands-on experience with month-end close.
• Excellent English, written and spoken.
• Proficiency in Google Workspace.
• Ability to build and improve processes using AI.
• Precise and detail-oriented, with accuracy in data validation.
• Independent and proactive, with a habit of improving things before anyone asks.
• Strong interpersonal skills.
• Works well under pressure: a fast, self-driven learner.

Advantages

• Big 4 background.
• Familiarity with Priority ERP.
• Creative approach to problem solving.
