Controller

Kasheesh • New York City, NY

13d • $100,000 - $135,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Kasheesh is the first platform to let you split any online purchase across multiple debit and credit cards—without needing a loan or a new line of credit. We help people access and manage their money in a way that fits how they live, earn, and spend today. We’re on a mission to give consumers more control and flexibility over how they fund everyday purchases. Whether it's combining your primary card with a fintech card or that gift card you forgot you had, Kasheesh makes it seamless to manage checkout your way. We’re a venture-backed team of fintech operators, builders, and designers reshaping what modern payments should look like. As Controller, you’ll own the finance function at Kasheesh. This includes everything from month-end closes and expense reimbursements, to financial modeling and investor reporting. You’ll be our first finance hire, so you should be comfortable building processes and working independently. This role is ideal for someone with experience in fintech or payments and a desire to have a meaningful impact at an early-stage startup. The Controller will be responsible for financial operations, compliance, and planning. You’ll own the books, build and manage processes, and interact with our partners on all things finance related. You’ll also be key in helping us understand our financial health and runway and support financial reporting for investor communications.
