Corporate Controller

Zippy was founded with one mission : to make getting a loan for a manufactured home simple, fast, and fully online. We believe modern manufactured homes are affordable, well-built, eco-friendly, and stylish, but finding a lender who understands this market can be challenging. That's why Zippy focuses exclusively on manufactured home loans, offering a seamless, digital experience.

Headquartered in Dallas, TX, with an office in Tempe, AZ, Zippy provides home loans and insurance to manufactured home buyers throughout the United States. Our remote-first team is spread across cities like Dallas, Houston, Knoxville, Omaha, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and several other states and cities. Backed by institutional investors, we offer competitive pay, stock options, and excellent benefits. At Zippy, we pride ourselves on our commitment to finance happiness through the power of home. We are dedicated to enhancing consumers' financial outcomes and tackling the affordable housing crisis through cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.

We're looking for a hands-on Corporate Controller to lead and scale our accounting operations while serving as a key partner in strategic financial decision-making. Reporting directly to our Finance leader, this role is ideal for a CPA with lending or servicing experience who thrives in dynamic, fast-growth environments - equally comfortable in the weeds of the general ledger and at the table for strategic planning.

You will own the integrity of our financial reporting, oversee the close process, and build a best-in-class control environment. In parallel, you'll work closely with our FP&A and leadership teams on forecasting, budgeting, capital markets readiness, and investor reporting. In addition, you will partner heavily with our Director of Loan Accounting who oversees loan-level accounting. This role also plays a central part in enabling SOC 1 compliance and building the accounting infrastructure to support our national expansion and complex capital structures.

Key Responsibilities

Corporate Accounting & Reporting

  • Own all corporate accounting operations, including GL, revenue recognition, cost allocation, and partner with our Director of Loan Accounting on loan-level accounting.
  • Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes with speed, accuracy, and rigor.
  • Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements with supporting schedules, reconciliations, and audit-ready documentation.
  • Manage external audit relationships and oversee annual financial statement audits.
  • Develop internal dashboards and executive reporting packages to drive insights for senior leadership, board members, and capital partners.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment with FP&A on forecasting, planning, and variance analysis.

  • Collaborate on corporate budgeting, scenario modeling, and long-range financial planning.
  • Support financial analyses to guide decision-making on growth strategy, capital allocation, and investor readiness.
  • Partner on investor presentations, board materials, and capital markets transactions including forward flow, securitizations, or other structured finance instruments.
  • Internal Controls & SOC 1 Compliance

  • Design and implement robust internal controls aligned with SOC 1 and institutional-grade compliance standards.
  • Maintain up-to-date accounting policies, procedures, and documentation.
  • Proactively identify risk areas or control gaps and drive remediation with cross-functional teams.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to operationalize compliance workflows within platform infrastructure.

  • Systems Implementation & Scalability

  • Lead accounting system upgrades and drive implementation of ERP platforms (e.g., NetSuite).
  • Build scalable workflows that support geographic expansion and increasing product complexity.
  • Identify and execute automation opportunities to improve reconciliation, close processes, and reporting timelines.
  • Ensure accounting infrastructure can support a growing national footprint and capital structure innovation.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting leadership experience, including prior tenure as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
  • Active CPA license with a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP, including ASC 310, ASC 860-60, and other standards relevant to lending and financial instruments.
  • Deep experience with internal controls and SOC 1 readiness.
  • Proven track record leading ERP or accounting system implementations.
  • High proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, financial modeling).
  • Clear communicator with executive presence and collaborative style.
  • Prior experience in consumer lending (auto, mortgage, or specialty finance) and loan servicing.
  • A builder mindset : thrives in ambiguity, operates with ownership, and can toggle between strategy and execution.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to chattel lending, warehouse lending, securitizations, or forward flow capital markets structures.
  • Familiarity with systems such as QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, FICS, Salesforce, and modern BI / reporting tools.
  • Experience in VC- or PE-backed high-growth environments.
  • Important Applicant Information

  • While many of our interviews are conducted virtually, all applicants should be prepared to potentially meet in person as part of the process.
