Snapdocs is changing that. Our platform currently powers 20% of all real estate closings in the country, and we’re just getting started.\nWe design workflow software and AI-driven automation that connects lenders, settlement teams, notaries, and investors - eliminating friction, reducing risk, and delivering a faster, simpler closing for every borrower. Our customers range from the largest mortgage lenders to independent title companies. They trust us because we solve real operational pain with empathy, rigor, and reliability.\nWe’re backed by Sequoia, Y Combinator, and F-Prime, and we’re building for the long term.\nWhy this role exists\nSnapdocs needs a Controller who owns accounting as a function, not just as a close process. We want someone who can bring independent CPA-level judgment, keep the core operation tight, and change how the work gets done over time.\nThe role\nThis person leads accounting end to end. That includes technical accounting, close, audit readiness, tax coordination, controls, team leadership, prioritization, and the operating decisions that shape how accounting supports the business. It also includes setting a clear vision for how the function should evolve into a sharper, more modern accounting organization over time.\nWhat you'll own\nOwn the accounting function end to end, including close, audit readiness, technical accounting, compliance with GAAP, and core reporting operations.\n\nLead and develop the accounting team, with day-one management responsibility for 2 direct reports and oversight across the broader team structure.\n\nBuild a clear view of where accounting needs to go over the next 12 months, then turn that view into a practical roadmap.\n\nShorten close timelines, reduce manual work, and improve how accounting systems and processes run across the function.\n\nPartner with Product, Revenue, Customer Success, and Finance earlier in decision-making so accounting shapes the work instead of reacting late to it.\n\nGuide accounting decisions tied to new products, pricing or packaging changes, contract structure, and other business changes with real technical judgment.\n\nEvaluate how the team is structured today and what the team is prioritizing, then make changes when a different operating model, sequencing, or resourcing approach would better support the company.\n\nWhat success looks like\nWithin 90 days, you've built trust with the team, gained an understanding of the day-to-day operation, and produced a clear roadmap for how accounting should evolve over time.\n\nWithin 6 months, the plan is in motion, the team is operating with better structure, and key processes are moving faster without quality slipping.\n\nWithin 12 months, accounting runs materially differently than it does today: faster close, stronger cross-functional partnership, and more capacity for higher-value work.\n\nWhat we're looking for\nCPA required.\n\n8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful time owning the controller seat or operating at a near-controller level.\n\nStrong command of technical accounting, GAAP, audit management, and accounting controls.\n\nExperience running an audit and close process with real ownership, not as one part of a heavily layered organization.\n\nTrack record of improving accounting operations in a lean environment where judgment and execution both matter.\n\nExperience leading teams through process change, systems change, or organizational redesign.\n\nComfort making recommendations and decisions independently, with clear reasoning behind the call.\n\nStrong cross-functional instincts. You know how to insert accounting early, influence upstream decisions, and build credibility across the business.\n\nExperience in SaaS or other recurring-revenue environments is useful. Experience in transaction-based or operationally messy models is even better.\n\nHands-on experience with modern accounting tools is preferred. Experience with Rillet, Tabs, or similarly modern accounting systems will stand out.\n\nAI proficiency at Snapdocs\nAI proficiency is a real requirement at Snapdocs. For this role, that means using AI to change how the work gets done: shortening close, reducing manual review, improving decision-making, and building repeatable workflows with appropriate checks.\nYou should be able to point to real examples of how you've used AI in accounting operations, where it worked, where it didn't, and how you validated outputs before they affected the books.\nCompensation and benefits\nWe believe in being upfront about pay. The base salary range for this role is determined by your work location and falls into one of our geographic compensation zones:\nZone 1 (SF Bay Area, Seattle Metro, NYC): $168,000 - $210,000\n\nZone 2 (All other U.S. locations): $147,000 - $184,000\n\nWhere you land within the range depends on your experience, skills, and how you’ll make an impact in the role. In addition to base salary, this position includes meaningful equity and a comprehensive benefits package.\nWhy Snapdocs\nWe’re here to transform one of the most critical and complex industries in the world. That requires a team that is curious, driven, thoughtful, and practical. We value:\nProduct discipline and clear reasoning\n\nDeep ownership of outcomes (not just tasks)\n\nStraightforward, honest communication\n\nEmpathy for the people who use our software\n\nThis is a place for people who want to solve hard, meaningful problems with real economic impact - not just ship features.\nJoin Us\nWe’re expanding our product suite and the network it connects.
