Role
Who you are
- This is a role for a hands-on leader who thrives on building — someone who wants their fingerprints on how a company scales
- Financial services background required — you've worked in a fintech or consumer credit environment and understand the nuanced accounting that comes with it
- 10+ years in accounting/finance, with experience in a leadership role; you're equally comfortable as a manager and as someone who still gets their hands dirty
- NetSuite power user — you can configure, optimize, and get the most out of the platform without outside help
- Operator at heart — you've rebuilt or stood up accounting operations before and know what "good" looks like for a company on the path to IPO
- Curious about automation — you don't need to be an AI expert, but you should be excited about what it means for the future of accounting and eager to bring that thinking to the team
- SQL familiarity is a plus — comfortable reading queries and working cross-functionally with data and FP&A teams
- Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you
What the job involves
- Tilt is looking for a Controller to lead our accounting operations and build the infrastructure to support public company readiness. Reporting to the Head of Accounting, you'll lead a team of accountants and be the operational backbone of our finance function, partnering closely with FP&A, Legal, and other stakeholders to ensure our financial house is built to last
- Own the Close: Lead all aspects of US accounting operations and consolidation, delivering accurate, timely financial statements in accordance with GAAP
- Build for Scale: Redesign the accounting operations from the ground up, establishing best practices, standardizing processes, and creating the infrastructure needed to support IPO readiness and beyond
- Strengthen the Control Environment: Design, implement, and maintain a robust system of internal controls that safeguards assets, ensures reporting integrity, and meets SEC and regulatory requirements
- Lead and Develop the Team: Manage and mentor a team of accountants, while also rolling up your sleeves as an individual contributor where needed
- Champion an Automation Mindset: Identify where AI and automation can uplevel the team — shifting work from manual preparation to high-judgment review and analysis
- Serve as a Key Financial Liaison: Coordinate with internal stakeholders, external auditors, regulators, and investors, ensuring clear and transparent communication on the company's financial position
Application process
- Initial recruiter call: A conversation to learn about your experience and what you're looking for in your next role
- Hiring manager interview: A deeper discussion about your background and approach to solving challenges
- Skills panel: Meet with Tilt team members to discuss your expertise and problem-solving approach through real-world scenarios
- Leadership conversations: Conversations with our CFO and CEO to discuss our mission and how you could contribute to it (and how we can help you achieve your career goals along the way)
Our take
An individual’s credit score greatly influences their life, affecting their ability to rent, receive loans, buy a house, and access affordable interest rates. But you have to have credit to build credit, leaving a lot of people in a catch-22 situation. Tilt (formerly Empower Financial) is a mobile-only app that makes credit more inclusive and accessible, helping customers achieve their credit health goals regardless of their credit history (or lack thereof).
Though other FinTech companies such as Mint or Personal Capital also offer impressive financial tracking for their customers, Tilt’s comprehensive set of personal finance features including cash advance and automatic savings offerings make it a better choice for people who want to use a single app to manage their finances.
By empowering people to take control of their money through its range of financial services, Tilt is working to break the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck living. Backed by Blisce, Defy Ventures and Quiet Capital, the company has been significantly growing its revenue in recent years and was recognized in the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the US.
