About The Position

Laurel AI is hiring its first Controller, a foundational role reporting directly to the CFO at a pivotal moment in the company's growth. We've built significant market traction, delivered exceptional growth, and are now expanding into a substantially larger opportunity as we evolve from a category-leading time intelligence platform into a broader enterprise workflow intelligence business. This is the moment that defines the next chapter, and the Controller will help build the financial infrastructure that gets us there. This is not a role where you inherit someone else's playbook. You'll architect the accounting function from the ground up, designing scalable processes and controls, implementing best-in-class systems, and helping define what an AI-native finance organization can actually look like at scale.

Requirements

  • Energized by ambiguity, thrive on creating structure where little exists, and want real influence over how a high-growth company operates.
  • Excited by the opportunity to rethink traditional finance processes using AI and automation.
  • Experience in a company that has the potential to be a category-defining leader in its space.

Responsibilities

  • All accounting operations and close processes
  • Scalable accounting policies, controls, and reporting infrastructure
  • Audits and external accounting partner relationships
  • Process automation and AI-enabled efficiencies across the finance function
  • Building and developing the future accounting team
  • Strategic partnership with the CFO and executive leadership on fundraising readiness, operational scaling, and long-term public company preparation

Benefits

  • equity
  • 401K
  • Bi-annual, in-person company off-sites, in unique locations, to grow and share time with the team
