Summary Generated by Built In

Here at Hometap, we’re collaborative, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves to create solutions that help people get more out of homeownership — and out of life. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt.  

We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Forbes have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by Inc., HousingWire, and more! 

In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, generous PTO, a meaningful equity package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie.

Interested in joining us on our mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible? We’d love to talk.

  • Manage treasury operations, including cash management and bank account oversight, ensuring adequate liquidity and controls
  • Lead the annual audit process across corporate and fund entities, working closely with external auditors to ensure timely, accurate completion
  • Drive process improvements and systems enhancements to increase efficiency, scalability, and internal controls across all finance operations

  • Support corporate transactions, including capital raises, due diligence efforts, and M&A integrations
  • Partner cross-functionally with internal stakeholders and serve as a point of contact for equity and debt capital partners.
What you bring:
  • 7+ years of relevant experience in public and private accounting; prior Controller experience preferred
  • CPA required; background in credit, real estate, private equity, or asset management is a strong plus
  • Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal controls, with experience overseeing multi-entity environments
  • Proven ability to lead accounting, tax, fund operations, and treasury processes at a high-growth company

  • Excellent critical thinking, prioritization, and communication skills
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with a proactive, business-partner mindset
  • Track record of building and leading high-performing teams
  • Desire to improve systems and processes, and ability to execute in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
