About The Position

Gamesight is looking for a strategic, detail-oriented Controller with a record of managing both the delivery of financial reports, the creation of forecasts, and tax compliance to meet our growing financial requirements. You will manage the day-to-day operations of our finance function, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. You will collaborate with all teams across the business, developing processes and controls for efficiency, accuracy, and completeness of financial information reported to management and external parties. This is a hands-on role, not a review-and-approve seat. We need someone who communicates clearly, digs into process problems, and is willing to do the technical accounting work themselves, not just sign off on it. Our ideal candidate will see the opportunity to help the broader organization adopt a set of standard financial processes and goals as a tremendous contribution to Gamesight’s success. Using The Office’s accounting department as a reference point - we’re looking for someone with Angela’s attention to detail, Oscar’s problem-solving skills, and Kevin’s enthusiasm. You don’t have to love cats or chili, but you’re a great fit if you love video games! The pay range for this position is $110,000 to $140,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; CPA and minimum 2-5 years of Controller experience required (public company experience preferred, not required).
Be located in and primarily work from either the Pacific or Mountain Time Zones.
Prior experience in finance at a SaaS organization - bonus points for previous start-up experience!
History of scaling and process improvement for finance and accounting operations.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
Fantastic communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ability to work well and manage one’s time effectively in a remote, fast-paced, and rapidly changing work environment.
Ability to work accurately with close attention to detail.
Willingness and flexibility to adapt to changing business needs and deadlines.
Ability to deal with highly sensitive and confidential information.
Love of video games, tabletop games, the gaming industry, and/or content creation!
