Assistant Controller

Location: Remote - Southern California or Pacific Time Zone preferred (allows for overlap with Australia)
The Opportunity:
Performio is growing rapidly and is looking for an Assistant Controller - the only in-house accountant! This hire will be a proven accountant who will help build a world-class internal accounting function (processes, team, and systems). Reporting to the Sr. Director of Finance & Operations, this position will help to ensure Performio is ready to scale effectively and meet the growing demands of the business. The position will be very hands-on, eventually owning all aspects of the accounting function. This is a highly visible role in which you will work closely with the Sr. Director of Finance, CFO, management, and our third-party advisors.
The right candidate will have experience in building and scaling the accounting function of a software technology company with an ever-present view of what’s coming next. We need someone driven to excellence who is not afraid of a blank slate and designing processes and systems the right way. The target candidate must appreciate and enjoy “the build” phase.

But a great team alone is not sufficient to win. We also have a great product that balances the flexibility that large companies need in a sales commission solution with the great user experience buyers have come to expect from modern software. We are the only company in our industry that can make this claim and the market has responded favorably. We have a global customer base across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the US in 25+ industries.
