Controller

Boom • Austin, TX

26d • Onsite

About The Position

Boom is building a suite of rental financial services for renters and property managers, including tenant screening, rent payment reporting, rent reporting-as-a-service, and a number of integrations with the largest property management systems (PMS). Boom serves renters through the Boom App and property managers via the Boom Platform. As Controller, you’ll own the accounting and financial operations that keep the company running as we scale to $20M ARR and beyond. You’ll work to automate the accounting tech stack — building A/R agents, A/P agents, and intelligent workflows that eliminate manual work and accelerate insight. We’re open to two profiles: a Sr. Manager ready to step into a Controller seat and prove themselves through AI-driven execution, or an experienced Controller who is genuinely hungry to go deep on AI — and can show it. Either way, you must be excited about building, not just running, the accounting function. This role is based in Austin, TX and reports directly to the CFO.
