About DualEntry

Founded in 2024, DualEntry is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI startups.

 

At DualEntry, the future of finance is being written today. ERP is one of the largest fintech markets in the world ($220,000,000,000+). Yet, tens of thousands of companies are still using on-premise systems, and the industry has not seen new entrants in more than 30 years.

 

Our AI-native ERP lets accounting teams achieve more in less time. $5M-ARR businesses to NYSE-listed companies trust DualEntry to automate away manual data entry work with AI. We’re finally making the one-person finance team a reality and putting the pain of legacy ERPs from the 1990’s in the past.

 

We operate with urgency and ownership. We move fast.

 
Why This Role Matters Now

Since starting 18 months ago, we’ve raised $100,000,0000+ from world-class investors such as Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, Contrary Ventures and Google Ventures, as well as more than 20 angel investors who’ve built, scaled, and exited some of the most impactful companies of the last decade.

 

We got there by moving incredibly fast and hiring an exceptionally sharp, hard-working and deeply committed team from leading tech and accounting companies - Ramp, Meta, Microsoft, Lyft, PwC, Deloitte, J.P. Morgan, Bloomberg, Sage, Xero and Intuit. And some of us don't have a fancy logo on our resume and are here for a shot to prove ourselves.

 

We’re a small team, growing fast with huge momentum - join early.

As our Controller, you’ll own and drive DualEntry’s highest-priority company initiatives and ensure our strategy translates into measurable execution across all departments including Product, Engineering, GTM, and CX.

In addition, you’ll independently lead high-impact strategic initiatives that accelerate growth and strengthen how the company operates. You’ll also work directly with the CEO and leadership team to shape key decisions and unblock critical priorities.

This is an intense, hands-on role with full ownership. We expect you to push for excellence and raise the bar.
