Our people are highly-motivated and engaged professionals with a clear set of values and behaviors. We prove these values matter to us by living them each day. This makes Performio both a great place to work and a great company to do business with.
But a great team alone is not sufficient to win. We also have a great product that balances the flexibility that large companies need in a sales commission solution with the great user experience buyers have come to expect from modern software. Performio is the only Incentive Compensation Management provider that drives business performance with a product built to handle complexity, a team of dedicated experts, and a proven track record of long-term global success. We are the only company in our industry that can make this claim and the market has responded favorably. We have a global customer base across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the US in 25+ industries that includes many well-known companies like News Corp, Johnson & Johnson and Vodafone.
The Opportunity:
Performio is growing rapidly and is looking for an Assistant Controller - the only in-house accountant! This hire will be a proven accountant who will help build a world-class internal accounting function (processes, team, and systems). Reporting to the Sr. Director of Finance & Operations, this position will help to ensure Performio is ready to scale effectively and meet the growing demands of the business. The position will be very hands-on, eventually owning all aspects of the accounting function. This is a highly visible role in which you will work closely with the Sr. Director of Finance, CFO, management, and our third-party advisors.
The right candidate will have experience in building and scaling the accounting function of a software technology company with an ever-present view of what’s coming next. We need someone driven to excellence who is not afraid of a blank slate and designing processes and systems the right way. The target candidate must appreciate and enjoy “the build” phase.

Don’t check every box in our job description? That’s ok! As the Harvard Business Review points out, research conducted by Hewlett Packard shows that men typically apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and those from marginalized groups tend to only apply when they feel they meet 100%. If you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet all of the requirements listed in the job description, please still reach out. We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit!
