We're hiring our first Controller. You'll own accounting at Narmi end to end. We’ll also ensure you have support to help you do your job.
You'll work directly with our founders and leadership team on the numbers they use to run the company.
It's also hands-on. We're about 150 people and growing fast. You'll be in the GL, and you'll own the standard and the work behind it.
What you'll own
The close and the books
- Month-end and quarter-end close, start to finish
- General ledger ownership

Accounting operations
- AP and AR
- Customer billing across our financial institution contracts, including annual increases and true-ups

- Improve the process and the tooling (close checklist, documentation, systems) so the function scales past you

Bonus points
- Fintech, B2B SaaS, or financial infrastructure background
- You've been through a fundraise, an acquisition, or audit readiness for a transaction
- You've set up or migrated a GL or ERP

At Narmi, how we work is just as important as what we build. We call this The Narmi Standard:
- High Ceiling: You go beyond the obvious, take initiative, and hold yourself to high standards with care.
- Low Ego: You put the mission above ourselves, share credit freely, and lead with curiosity.
- Alignment to Mission: You believe that helping community financial institutions win against Mega Banks and FinTechs is a worthy endeavor, and will use that belief as a northstar to anchor your efforts to that goal.
- High Commitment: You follow through, roll up your sleeves, and keep the bar high for yourself and others.
We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we actively seek a diverse pool of applicants, including those from historically marginalized groups.
