Description
The Corporate Controller reports to the CFO and leads the accounting and reporting function. You will own the integrity of the numbers, run a tight close, keep us audit- and SOX-ready, and build the processes, systems, and team that let finance keep pace with 20%+ growth. You will work side by side with the CFO and the finance leadership team, and across Sales, Operations, Product, Legal, and Engineering. You are as comfortable partnering with a business leader on a vendor contract or deal structure question as you are reviewing a technical accounting memo.
Key Responsibilities
What You Will Own
- Accounting and close: Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close with speed and accuracy, including revenue recognition across hardware, software, and subscription models, and technical accounting for complex and non-routine transactions.
- Financial reporting: Deliver timely, accurate GAAP financial statements and management reporting, and partner with FP&A to give leadership clear, decision-ready insight.
- International: Oversee accounting, consolidation, statutory reporting, and compliance for our international entities, including currency and intercompany matters.
- Accounts Payable: Own the procure-to-pay process, driving efficiency, strong controls, and good vendor relationships.
- SOX and internal controls: Design, run, and continually improve a SOX-ready control environment that scales, and prepares Brivo for the demands of public-company reporting.
- Annual audit: Lead the external audit relationship and process, from planning through sign-off, with no surprises.
- Tax and treasury: Today, you will oversee tax compliance and planning and manage treasury and working with external advisors and banking partners. As Brivo scales, we expect to add specialized leadership in these areas, and you will help shape that.
- Team and systems: Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing accounting team, and drive automation and AI-enabled tools that make finance faster and smarter.

- 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including meaningful time at a public company (SEC reporting and SOX) and/or public accounting background (external audit).
- Deep technical accounting expertise in US GAAP
- Experience running a multi-entity, international consolidation and close.
- 5+ years of experience managing people, with a proven record of leading and developing accounting teams and building scalable processes in a high-growth environment.
- Hands-on command of modern ERP and finance systems, with a bias toward automation. Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance; advanced degree a plus.

- Experience supporting M&A, including due diligence, purchase accounting, and system integrations.
- A team player who lifts others. You build trust across finance and the business, and you share credit easily.
- A clear, confident communicator. You can explain a complex accounting issue to a board member, an auditor, or a sales leader, and you adjust your message for each.
- Organized and precise. You keep many moving parts on schedule without dropping details.
- Driven, fast, and goal-oriented. You set ambitious targets, move quickly, and hold yourself and your team to results.
- Energetic and energizing. You bring momentum to a room, and people want to work with you.
