Controller
Quick Summary
Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken.
Most Controllers inherit someone else's system. You're building the whole thing from scratch - the GL, the close, the control environment, the regulatory reporting stack.
You can't leave a control gap unfilled or a reconciliation unexplained. Your documentation holds up under external scrutiny the first time, not after a review cycle.
You're as comfortable in an engineering discussion as a finance one. Complex accounting doesn't stay complex when you explain it.
You've been waiting for the chance to build a bank's accounting infrastructure from scratch - not inherit someone else's.
You find the idea of governing AI-enabled workflows in a regulated environment more interesting than intimidating.
You need a well-defined scope handed to you on day one.
You get nervous about being held accountable for accuracy.
You're more comfortable inheriting a system than designing one.
You need a large team around you to be effective.
