Job Description
AT PYLON, WE'RE BUILDING THE FUTURE OF B2B POST SALES.
We're building the all-in-one B2B post-sales support platform powered by conversational data and layered with intelligence to help our customers run their operations in real-time.
We're backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator.
Currently more than 1300+ companies including Linear, Cognition (makers of Devin), Modal Labs, and Incident.io http://Incident.io run their support and customer success workflows with Pylon. You'll also find us on the Enterprise Tech 30 List.
Company

- Backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator
- 100+ employees
- Offices in San Francisco and NYC (London coming soon!)
The Role
We're hiring Pylon's first Controller. This is a high-impact, foundational role. You'll own all aspects of accounting, oversee relationships with third-parties, and support the business as we scale from Series B and beyond. The role reports to the VP of Finance.
What You'll Do
- Financial Reporting: Own month-end close processes, consolidations, and financial statement preparation in accordance with GAAP
- Accounting Operations: Oversee processes including AR (Order-to-Cash) and AP (Procure-to-Pay), partnering closely with sales, rev ops, legal, and operations teams
- Systems & Infrastructure: Implement and own the systems that will enable the business to scale (from ERP to reporting infrastructure)
- Controls & Audit Readiness: Design and implement robust internal controls and establish audit-ready processes
- Automation: Leverage AI agents and automation to reduce manual workflows such as transaction categorization and reconciliations
- External Relationships: Manage relationships with auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners
Requirements
- Professional experience in a Controller or Senior Accounting Manager role at a high-growth venture-backed start-up
- Experience owning a full-cycle close process and audit process
- Experience building or improving systems and processes from the ground up, not just inheriting a mature function
- Deep technical accounting knowledge including ASC 606 and multi-entity consolidations
- CPA required
Nice to Haves
- Prior public accounting background
- First-audit experience
- ERP implementation or migration experience
This Role Might NOT Be For You If
