Assistant Controller

Dallas, Texas, United States; Oakland, California, United States

What we do and why we do it

As the leading end-to-end investment platform for single-family rental homes (SFR), our mission is to reinvent the rental housing ecosystem for the benefit of all. We successfully merge our passion for helping investors build wealth through real estate with cutting edge technology that transforms the way they do it.

How it’s going (and growing)

With a talented team of 750+ Roofsters, our collaborative, can-do culture is what fuels our growth. In 2022, we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in the Bay Area and New York City. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Stessa (financial and asset management software), RentPrep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both Retail and Institutional investors). In 2025, Roofstock took an ownership stake in Casago (short-term rental management services), expanding our platform to support both long-term and short-term rental investment services.

Corporate accounting’s mission is to create value to the Company through integrity, leadership and business partnership. Our primary responsibility is to prepare and report the consolidated financial statements to senior management and to enhance the Company in making informative business decisions.

  • Internal Controls: Design and deploy robust internal control frameworks that scale with organizational growth, and champion a culture of compliance by authoring and enforcing sophisticated accounting policies.
  • Procurement & Accounts Payable: Oversee end-to-end procurement, accounts payable and T&E processes. Implement AI Agents within our procurement tools to improve efficiency and maintain strict financial controls.
  • Treasury & Cash Management: Lead treasury operations, including corporate bank account administration, cash positioning, and debt facility management. Develop AI-enabled cash forecasting models to optimize liquidity and provide proactive insights on cash flow trends. Maintain strict internal controls over wire and ACH disbursements, ensuring accurate monthly cash flow reporting and covenant compliance.
  • Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of five accountants, fostering a culture of high performance, continuous improvement, and professional development. This is a player-manager role; you will be expected to actively participate in complex accounting workflows and "roll up your sleeves" alongside the team to deliver results.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
