Who you are

- An exceptional communicator with strong emotional intelligence and sound judgment
- Client oriented: you understand that building internal relationships and supporting client relationships underpins our success as a business
What the job involves
- As our Controller, you’ll partner closely with our executive team to help build the systems and processes that strengthen the G&A backbone of the company
- As an independent subsidiary business of Alarm.com, we have been a part of a public company reporting environment for the past decade, though have been largely operating with a centralized G&A function at the Alarm.com level
- We’re taking a meaningful step towards a decentralized model at this stage in our maturity and hiring a Controller to report directly to our CEO, with a dotted line to the Alarm.com CFO
- The role will blend traditional corporate controllership responsibilities with divisional ones, relying upon and coordinating with Alarm.com finance leaders in areas such as Technical Accounting, Tax, Internal Audit, FP&A, and Investor Relations
- This is an opportunity to be on the ground floor of a dedicated finance and accounting movement for a scaling SaaS business within a public company environment
- Drive an efficient and accurate monthly close process and quarterly financial reporting cadence, including identifying opportunities to accelerate close calendars, improve automation, and streamline processes
- Establish and maintain robust internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure accurate financial records
- Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting and collections team to strengthen technical skills and business acumen, fostering a culture of urgency, excellence, and problem solving
- Collaborate with the Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting team at Alarm.com to ensure GAAP-compliant financial records and reporting of complex accounting matters
- Collaborate with the commercial teams (Sales, Client Success, Client Operations, Partner Solutions) to ensure billing and accounting processes are well-defined and communicated and that all teams are aligned to supporting accounting and billing operations. Transformation & Business Partnership
- Partner with the Alarm.com Finance Transformation team and IT resources to evaluate, enhance, and automate accounting and billing systems and processes, driving operational efficiency and scalability. Alarm.com will be launching an ERP implementation imminently, and you will be on the frontline on behalf of EnergyHub
- Build and nurture trusted partnerships with business leaders, demonstrating the accounting function’s strategic value and alignment with broader company goals
- Navigate the complex balance between customer centricity and a growth culture with stewardship of the P&L and public company reporting requirements. Other duties as assigned
Our take
Power grids are becoming increasingly complicated due to the increased usage of distributed energy resources (DER) in homes such as electric vehicles, home batteries, and thermostats. This complexity arises from the fragmented nature of DER providers and their lack of integration with management systems, making it difficult for renewable energy and other advanced grid services to operate reliably.
EnergyHub provides a DER management system that facilitates the management of DERs at scale, helping to provide the digital infrastructure for flexible electricity demand, voltage and frequency regulation and real-time analytics. It also provides end-to-end support for the acquisition, enrollment, and aggregation of customer-owned DERs.
Whilst the DER industry faces significant challenges in integrating into existing power grids, EnergyHub is providing the infrastructural and data flexibility required to future-proof the reliability of power networks. The company partners with major DER providers - Siemens, Nest and Tesla to name a few - and provides the technical support required for them to meet their long-term strategic goals and work towards a renewable future.
