Financial Controller

Boston, Massachusetts, United States; Knoxville, Tennessee, United States; Remote; Tysons, Virginia, United States

RegScale is a continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform purpose-built to deliver fast and efficient GRC outcomes. We help organizations break out of the slow and expensive realities that plague legacy GRC tools by bridging security, risk, and compliance through controls lifecycle management. By leveraging CCM, organizations experience massive process improvements like 90% faster certification times, and 60% less audit prep time. Today’s expansive security and compliance requirements can only be met with a modern, CCM based approach, and RegScale is the leader in that space.   

Position: 

As Financial Controller, you’ll be a founding member of our finance team, driving effective, efficient, and mature financial operations.

You’ll be a key stakeholder in supporting major growth initiatives, including the introduction of new products and partnerships as well as international expansion. In a high-growth environment where adaptability and proactivity are key, you'll help us scale smartly while maintaining a strong financial backbone.

    • Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring timely and accurate financial statements under GAAP.
    • Complete internal and investor financial reporting and deliver actionable insights to leadership and investors.
    • Develop financial dashboards to track SaaS metrics (e.g., ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, burn efficiency). 
  • Planning, Budgeting, & Forecasting 
    • Act as a key stakeholder for the company-wide budgeting process and ongoing forecasting.
    • Partner with department heads to align financial goals with operational strategies and true outcomes.
    • Support long-term financial planning, including scenario modeling.
    • Monitor and manage cash flow to ensure runway visibility and capital efficiency. 
  • Controls, Compliance & Risk Management 
    • Manage, process, and execute all AR and AP requirements. 
    • Implement scalable accounting policies, internal controls, and financial systems.
    • Ensure compliance with tax filings, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and similar other requirements.
    • Manage relationships with external accountants, auditors, and tax advisors. 
  • Program Building & Leadership 
    • Cultivate a culture of financial accountability throughout the organization.
    • Evaluate and implement various financial systems to support scaling. 

Key Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive experience in finance/accounting, including 2+ years in a financial leadership role.
  • Experience with high-growth enterprise SaaS companies.
  • Expert understanding of GAAP and SaaS KPIs.
  • Experience with multi-entity consolidation and international operations.
  • Hands-on experience with financial technology systems (including, but not limited to ERP, banking, billing, and tax software), and enthusiasm about adopting finance-specific AI tools.  
  • Advanced Excel skills. 

Who You Are: 

  • Builder: You enjoy setting up and managing scalable processes and improving what exists.
  • Strategic: You see the big picture but can dive deep into the details when needed.
  • Startup-Ready: You’re adaptable, thrive in ambiguity, and are excited about rolling up your sleeves.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
