Controller

The Opportunity

We are looking for a technically sharp, AI-native Controller to own Draiver’s global accounting function and be a strategic finance partner to the CBO and CEO. This is a high-visibility role with direct leadership exposure from day one, built for someone who wants to grow into a Finance Leadership seat as Draiver scales.

If you have ever thought “there has to be a smarter way to do this”, and then actually built it, you will thrive here.

What You Will Own

Controller Functions

• Own the full month-end close cycle: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and P&L review across US, Brazil, and Mexico entities

• Manage AP, accrued liabilities, stock compensation, and accrued revenue in compliance with IFRS, you set the standard, not just follow it

• Review and approve corporate card expenses (Ramp, PEX) with proper GL coding per policy

• Serve as the primary external auditor contact and own the audit prep process end-to-end

• Evaluate contracts and non-standard transactions for appropriate accounting treatment; draft technical memos as needed

• Lead AR management: aging analysis, collections workflow, and client dispute resolution including international receivables

• Establish, document, and enforce accounting policies that build a best-in-class internal control environment aligned with IFRS and SOX

AI & Systems Integration

• Connect Draiver’s finance stack, NetSuite, Airbase, Ramp, HubSpot, Slack, Google Drive, to Claude (Anthropic) via MCP to automate reporting and surface real-time insights to the CBO and CEO

• Build AI-powered financial dashboards that replace manual pulls: cash position, AR aging, expense trends, and entity-level P&L

• Design and own automations for recurring tasks — reconciliations, expense coding, AR follow-ups, and month-end checklists

• Act as the internal AI-for-finance expert: train teammates, document workflows, and continuously raise the bar on what is automated

Leadership & Strategy

• Report directly to the CBO with high-frequency exposure to the CEO and executive leadership

• Act as a strategic thought partner to leadership on financial visibility, cash management, and operational efficiency — not just a reporter of results

• Drive cross-functional collaboration with operations, sales, and legal to ensure financial processes support business growth

What we are looking for

Education: Bachelor’s in Accounting from a top-tier university

Technical: Deep IFRS & US GAAP knowledge · Advanced Excel · NetSuite strongly preferred · SOX / internal controls · Financial analytics and decision-support tools (e.g., Superset, Looker, Power BI, or equivalent) — comfortable moving from ledger to insight without relying on a data team
