About The Position

Evvy is seeking a Controller to establish the financial operating system for its growth. This role, reporting to the Head of Finance, will manage the accounting function from end-to-end, including close processes, ERP implementation, financial reporting, controls, and building scalable infrastructure. The Controller will be instrumental in Evvy's transition from a startup to a world-class operational organization, requiring a blend of strategic finance and hands-on execution. The ideal candidate is a builder, proficient in accounting fundamentals, and enthusiastic about systems design, automation, and leveraging modern tools, including AI, for an intelligent finance function. The position is primarily in-person in New York, NY, and the ideal candidate should be located there due to the role's cross-functional nature.

Requirements

CPA required.
8–10 years of progressive accounting experience.
2–3+ years in a startup, high-growth, or DTC environment.
Proven ability to build accounting infrastructure from scratch, not just inherit and maintain it.
Deep technical accounting skills paired with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset.
Comfortable with using agents & AI tools to supercharge accounting workflows.
Hands-on ERP selection and implementation experience (NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire, or similar).
Highly organized; manages competing deadlines without dropping the ball.
Clear communicator who can translate complex financial concepts for non-finance audiences, written and verbal.
Self-starter with a builder’s mindset: sees the gap, designs the solution, executes.
Comfortable operating across the full range: stepping up as a thought leader on strategic decisions, and rolling up your sleeves on AP, reconciliations, and the day-to-day.

Nice To Haves

Experience with subscription, DTC, or healthcare revenue models and the accounting nuances they bring.
