Who we are

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source.

We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (27K stars on GitHub).

We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle).

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on, ownership-driven Controller to lead the accounting function at a high-growth SaaS company scaling toward and beyond $100M ARR. This is a critical hire for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, holds themselves and their team to a high standard, and brings the technical depth to build a best-in-class accounting organization.

You'll own the full accounting function — close, compliance, reporting, and controls — and serve as a trusted partner to Finance, Revenue, and operational teams across the business.

What you’ll do

Month-End Close — Drive a clean, accurate close in 5 business days or fewer; continuously improve the process without sacrificing quality
Financial Reporting — Prepare and own internal financial statements, management reporting packages, and board-level materials
Technical Accounting — Serve as the in-house SME on revenue recognition (ASC 606), equity compensation (ASC 718), and other complex areas relevant to a SaaS business
Multi-Entity Management — Oversee accounting operations across multiple legal entities, including intercompany eliminations and consolidated reporting
Tax & Compliance — Manage sales tax filings, state registrations, and multi-jurisdiction compliance; partner with external advisors on income tax
Audit Management — Own the annual audit relationship end-to-end
Equity Administration — Support cap table management and stock-based compensation accounting in coordination with Legal and People teams
Travel / Expense Management — Oversee the T&E program including policy enforcement, reimbursement accuracy, and timely processing
Systems & Tooling — Champion the use of modern accounting tools and automation; evaluate and implement improvements that increase accuracy and reduce manual work; Quickbooks, Tabs, Ramp, Navan, Anrok, Stripe, SVB, Carta, Expensify, Rippling
External Accounting Team — Management of external accounting team; manage workflows, deliverable timelines, and quality of work product to ensure external resources are operating as a true extension of the team rather than a bottleneck

What we’re looking for

Experience

8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in SaaS or recurring-revenue software businesses
Prior experience owning accounting at a startup through a fundraise, audit, or exit process
Demonstrated ability to manage accounting in a multi-entity structure
CPA license preferred

Skills & Competencies

Deep technical accounting knowledge across revenue recognition, equity, and multi-entity consolidations
Comfort operating in ambiguity — you can identify an unknown issue, diagnose the root cause, and drive to resolution without waiting to be told what to do
Strong communicator who builds trust with non-Finance stakeholders (Sales, Marketing, People, Operations) and can translate accounting complexity into plain language
Detail orientation that doesn't slow you down — you care about getting it right and getting it done
Tools-forward mindset: you're curious about AI and modern accounting tools, quick to learn new systems, and motivated to eliminate manual processes
Role requires proficiency with macOS and comfort working fully remotely using tools such as Slack, Google Workspace, and Zoom

Mindset

You take ownership — when something's broken, you fix it; when something's missing, you build it
You have a clear point of view on what an excellent accounting organization looks like and the drive to build one
You act with thoughtful urgency and rally others towards deadlines
You're a constant iterator — always looking for a better way, not just fixing once and repeating what worked last time

Location Preference: Remote anywhere in the US

Compensation & Transparency

For US-based employees, the cash base compensation range for this role is $170,000 - $190,000. We set standard ranges for all US roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies.

To comply with local legislation and provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. However, these ranges are specific to the hiring location and may differ within or outside the US. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.

Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
