Neo Security is hiring a Financial Controller to own the accuracy, integrity, and efficiency of our accounting operations as we scale. Based out of our Boston, MA office, you'll manage the close process, financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance, while building the systems and processes needed to support a fast-growing security software company. You'll report to finance leadership and work closely with the CEO, CFO/VP of Finance, FP&A, HR, and outside auditors and tax advisors.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced accounting leader who has run month-end close and built controls in a SaaS environment, is comfortable being the primary owner of the books, and wants to build out the finance function's foundation as the company grows.

• Own revenue recognition for subscription/SaaS contracts in accordance with ASC 606, partnering with Sales and Legal on contract structuring.
• Manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners, and lead the annual audit process.
• Ensure timely and accurate tax compliance (federal, state, sales/use tax) in partnership with outside tax advisors.
• Partner with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis, ensuring the books support accurate financial planning.
• Manage cash flow, treasury operations, and banking relationships, including monitoring runway and burn rate.
• Build and improve accounting systems and processes (e.g., ERP/accounting software, expense management, billing) to support scale.
• Support due diligence and reporting needs tied to fundraising, board reporting, and potential M&A activity.
• Hire, manage, and develop accounting staff as the team grows.

• Hands-on experience managing external audits and working with outside tax advisors.
• Proficiency with modern accounting/ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct) and billing/subscription management tools.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with high attention to detail and a bias toward clean, well-documented processes.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain financial results and controls to non-finance stakeholders.

Nice to Haves
