About The Position

Quince is seeking a Controller to lead the accounting and finance functions for all new and emerging business lines.

The Controller will collaborate with various teams, including product, operations, data, and engineering, to ensure the financial infrastructure supports the company's rapid expansion. This is a strategic role for a builder who excels at establishing accounting infrastructure for novel business models, applying technical knowledge to fast-paced situations, and designing revenue recognition frameworks, controls, and financial reporting for multiple business segments concurrently. The ideal candidate makes high-judgment decisions quickly, thrives in environments where strategy and execution are intertwined, and maintains high standards for themselves and others.

Requirements

Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and revenue recognition standards (ASC 606) is essential given the scope of this role.
Demonstrated ability to design and implement accounting frameworks for new or non-standard business models, including revenue recognition policies under ASC 606.
Highly motivated and able to manage competing priorities across multiple business segments without losing rigor or accuracy under pressure and tight deadlines.
Collaborative partner with a positive, solutions-oriented mindset; able to build trust quickly with business line leaders across the organization.
Skilled at translating complex, multi-segment financial data into clear narratives that inform decision-making at all levels of the organization.
Exceptionally detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage deliverables across multiple concurrent business lines without sacrificing quality.
Agile and adaptable; comfortable building and evolving processes as business lines mature, without being constrained by legacy approaches.
Entrepreneurial mindset; equally comfortable setting strategic accounting policy and rolling up their sleeves to get the work done.
Proactive problem-solver and self-starter; energized by ambiguity and motivated to find the right answer even when no playbook exists.
