Controller

What You’ll Do

As our Controller, you’ll own the accounting and operations foundation at Testkube and help scale a finance and operations function built for growth. You’ll run a tight, reliable close, elevate financial rigor, oversee commercial transactions with customers, and help Testkube scale.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role. You’ll sit at the intersection of accounting, operations, and go-to-market—working closely with the CFO (and the broader leadership team) to build systems and controls that support a product-led, open source + commercial business.

Responsibilities

Close & Financial Reporting

• Own the monthly close process end-to-end: calendar, checklists, journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
• Deliver accurate, timely financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and a clean close package for leadership
• Maintain chart of accounts, accounting policies, and consistent supporting schedules

Accounting Operations

• Oversee day-to-day accounting: AP/AR, expenses, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, payroll accounting, and cash reconciliations
• Improve spend visibility and discipline (vendor tracking, renewals, approvals, commitments)
• Oversee People Ops on headcount reporting and payroll/benefits accounting accuracy

Revenue, Billing & Contract-to-Cash

• Partner with RevOps/Sales Ops to ensure clean contract-to-cash workflows (order forms, billing, collections)
• Own recurring revenue accounting support (deferred revenue schedules, invoicing alignment, credits/refunds)
• Establish consistent documentation to support revenue accounting decisions and future audits

Controls, Compliance & Audit Readiness

• Implement stage-appropriate internal controls and approval workflows that increase rigor without slowing execution
• Coordinate tax compliance and filings with external partners (federal/state/local; sales tax as applicable)
• Lead audit/review readiness and serve as primary point of contact for external firms during diligence

Systems & Process Improvement

• Own and evolve the accounting tech stack (GL, AP automation, expenses, payroll integrations)
• Build repeatable finance ops processes and documentation as volume grows
• Identify automation opportunities to reduce manual work and increase accuracy

Team & Ownership

• Be hands-on initially; hire and mentor accounting support (AP/AR, senior accountant) as we scale
• Create clear process documentation so the function scales beyond any one person

What We’re Looking For

• 5-7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of close and financial statements
• Experience in a high-growth environment (startup, scale-up, or fast-moving business with evolving needs)
• Strong accounting fundamentals and balance sheet discipline (reconciliations, substantiation, clean schedules)
• Comfortable building processes from scratch and improving controls pragmatically
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to partner with non-finance stakeholders
• Bonus: experience with SaaS/recurring revenue businesses and familiarity with ASC 606 concepts
• Bonus: CPA and/or public accounting background

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll report directly to the CFO and collaborate closely with:

• RevOps/Sales Ops on billing, collections, and contract-to-cash hygiene
• People Ops on payroll accounting, headcount reporting, and policy workflows
• Department leads on budgets, spend controls, and vendor management
• External partners (tax, audit/review, payroll providers) to keep us compliant and diligence-ready

Why Join Testkube

• Build the accounting function and financial foundation the “right way” at a scaling, product-led company
• Own the close and create the operating rhythm that leadership depends on
• Work on a technical product developers love, with strong open source traction and a growing commercial offering
• Join a high-ownership team backed by top-tier investors
• Competitive salary, equity, and the opportunity to grow with the company

Compensation

• Competitive salary and bonus, based on experience and scope
• Equity (stock options) as part of total compensation
