Company mission
To make automation accessible to all business owners, since eliminating repetitive work is the key to freeing more people to be creatives, innovators, & exceptional employees.
Role
Who you are
- Active CPA license and experience working at or with a startup or high-growth tech company
- Multiple years as a controller, assistant controller, or senior accounting manager at an in-house finance team — ideally at a mid-market company (~$50M–$500M revenue)
- Direct ownership of month-end close, including reconciliations, journal entries, flux analysis, and financial reporting
- Deep understanding of the day-to-day workflows, pain points, and judgment calls that controllers and their teams navigate — this is the experience our product is built around
- Experience standing up or improving close processes, internal controls, or reporting workflows from scratch
- Working knowledge of ERP systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, or Xero) and how finance teams actually use them
- Exposure to SOX compliance, internal audit, or external audit coordination
- Strong communicator who can translate complex accounting concepts for technical and non-technical audiences
- Familiarity with AI/ML products or a genuine curiosity about how AI is reshaping finance
- Comfort with ambiguity — this is a first-of-its-kind role at an early-stage company
What the job involves
- We're hiring our first in-house finance expert — a CPA who can bridge the gap between accounting expertise and product development
- You'll be embedded across the company, working with engineering, product, and design to ensure our agents actually think and behave like great accountants, while also supporting go-to-market as a credible voice with prospects, customers, and the market
- This is a cross-functional role reporting directly to the CEO. In the near term, you'll spend the majority of your time on product shaping, validation, and roadmap input
- Over time, we'll flex the role toward wherever your impact is greatest — whether that's deeper product work, customer success, or market-facing content and sales support
- Partner with EPD to define and validate agent workflows for reconciliation, close management, journal entries, and exception handling
- Serve as the internal authority on GAAP compliance, month-end close best practices, and controller-level decision-making
- Review and pressure-test agent outputs, reasoning chains, and audit trail completeness against real-world accounting standards
- Inform SOX compliance requirements including segregation of duties, approval workflows, and documentation standards
- Help design the rules, thresholds, and escalation logic that govern when agents act autonomously vs. loop in a human
- Contribute to product roadmap decisions across Close, FP&A, Compliance, and broader Finance Fleet phases
- Join prospect and customer calls as a domain expert who can speak credibly to controllers, staff accountants, and CFOs
- Support CS during implementation by advising on workflow configuration, edge cases, and accounting best practices
- Create and review marketing content — blog posts, whitepapers, webinars, case studies — that positions Kinter as a category leader
- Help build sales enablement materials grounded in real accounting pain points and workflows
- Manage our own accounting making sure we have accurate financial records, timely month-end close, and assisting with financial analysis and reporting
Our take
Automation is great at two things in particular: eliminating repetitive drudge work, and ensuring nothing is missed. Both cover a lot of ground in the field of eCommerce, where monitoring and responding to customer behaviour is the name of the game. Alloy Automation is a platform helping automate precisely this.
The Alloy platform allows companies to link together apps to create automated workflows. A Shopify payment, for example, could trigger the sending of a customer text message, a discount code, and a team slack notification. These templates can be custom-built, or selected from a marketplace of prefabricated ones.
The automation and eCommerce marketplaces are both hotly competitive and cluttered, which means Alloy’s model is a smart one. It doesn’t need to beat the field; it just needs to integrate with the rapidly growing number of SaaS platforms and tools eCommerce companies are leaning on. Alloy has been rewarded with strong funding to rapidly upscale this concept - and there’s a lot of market demand to grow into.
