About The Position

Vitalcheck Wellness is seeking a Controller with deep expertise in financial controls, ERP configuration, and AP automation. This role is not about maintaining existing processes—it is about building a control environment from the ground up. The ideal candidate combines mastery of GAAP and internal controls with hands-on experience configuring ERP and AP tools to enforce discipline, prevent errors, and safeguard company assets. Location - US East Coast, preference for NYC; primarily remote with some in-person collaboration.

Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience.
• Demonstrated success building internal controls and workflows, preferably in NetSuite and Tipalti.
• Proven ability to design and implement processes, not just maintain them.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, COSO, internal audit, and risk management.
• Track record of ERP implementations and AP automation configuration.
• Excellent communication and change management skills with authority to enforce compliance.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement financial control frameworks rooted in GAAP and COSO principles.
• Establish segregation of duties across invoice entry, approval, and payment release.
• Ensure workflows prevent fraud, overpayment, and process circumvention.
• Lead NetSuite workflow design, role configuration, approval hierarchies, and system integrations.
• Configure Tipalti to enforce invoice validation, invoice-to-payment matching, and dollar-based approval thresholds.
• Synchronize system integrations to ensure accuracy between NetSuite general ledger and Tipalti payment execution.
• Implement vendor master file controls for onboarding, bank detail changes, and fraud prevention.
• Establish escalation protocols for exceptions and high-dollar transactions.
• Continuously monitor, test, and refine internal controls for vulnerabilities.
• Identify gaps in existing processes and build scalable workflows from scratch.
• Develop SOPs and policies to embed financial discipline across the organization.
• Educate and enforce compliance across teams during the transition to structured systems.
• Drive adoption of structured financial processes while balancing operational needs.
