Controller

Parker's mission is to increase the number of financially independent people. We believe we can achieve this goal by building tools that enable independent business owners to scale their businesses profitably. Our core product combines a virtual credit card system with dynamic spending limits and software tooling to help merchants grow and optimize their profitability.

We are looking to expand our headcount quickly to support the demand. Our investors include Solomon Hykes (founder of Docker), Paul Buchheit (founder of Gmail), Paul Graham (founder of Y Combinator), Robert Leshner (founder of compound.finance), and many more. We are a Series B company that has raised over $50M from top-tier fintech investors.

We are seeking a sharp, detail-oriented, and strategic Controller to join our leadership team. You'll play a critical role in building out the finance function at Parker, owning everything from day-to-day accounting operations to strategic financial reporting, compliance, and controls. This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact role at a fast-growing fintech company and help define how financial systems scale with the business.
