Hireology’s technology empowers businesses to build great teams. Over the last nine years, we’ve grown from a startup to a market-leading organization with over 200 team members and built an award-winning culture that makes this company an amazing place to work. It’s with that in mind that Hireology is looking to add a Controller to the Finance department.

Reporting to the CFO, the Controller will be responsible for leading the accounting and financial reporting for the company, building and deploying scalable and efficient processes as Hireology continues to grow, and ensuring Hireology has timely and accurate information to meet its strategic business goals. The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter with experience leading and developing talent in a very fast-paced and dynamic environment, and a passion for finding and owning opportunities to improve a $30M+ business.

As the Controller, you will be responsible for:

  • Obsessed with details: It is critical that our financial information is accurate in all respects, you will need to be passionate about ensuring that we have the right methods to ensure that nothing is ever missed or incorrect

  • An effective communicator: Delivering messages up and down and across the company requires clarity, style flexing, diplomacy and the highest level of discretion - you will need to demonstrate all of those abilities.

  • Highly collaborative: Your work will support all areas of the business and you will have stakeholders across all departments; you enjoy and seek out opportunities to partner with stakeholders outside the Finance function

  • A Person of Integrity: Not negotiable in this role or any at Hireology. You will be privy to management-level discussions and highly sensitive/confidential information, and we expect you to treat the information you learn with the highest level of discretion and respect.

Okay, we’ve laid out what the job is - now are you qualified? Here are the minimum qualifications we’re looking for in a Controller:
