The Corporate Controller works closely with the CFO and other executive officers in support of corporate decision-making, monitoring and improving business performance, and evaluating and improving corporate risk management.
Enthought is a lean, automation-first company: every role, technical or not, is expected to use agentic AI tools to automate routine work. For the Corporate Controller, this means using AI agents to automate routine accounting work such as transaction processing, reconciliations, the close, and reporting, while designing the processes, setting the controls, verifying the results, and taking unqualified responsibility for the integrity of the company's financial statements.
