About Karbon
Karbon is the global leader in AI-powered practice management software for accounting firms. We provide an award-winning cloud platform that helps tens of thousands of accounting professionals work more efficiently and collaboratively every day. With customers in 40 countries, we have grown into a globally distributed team across the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. We are well-funded, ranked #1 on G2, growing rapidly, and have a people-first culture recognized with Great Place To Work® certification and on Fortune magazine's Best Small Workplaces™ List.
About the Role
Karbon is preparing for the next phase of its journey, including the path to becoming a public company. The Corporate Controller is the person who builds the finance function that gets us there. You will own the close, lead audit, run treasury, and critically, define what an AI-native accounting function looks like in practice. AI is not a feature of this role; it is a core operating expectation. We are rebuilding how accounting work gets done, and this person will lead that transformation alongside the CFO.
You will be the technical accounting authority across the business and a key partner to the CFO on every major financial decision. If you have done this before at a SaaS company, ideally through a public offering, and you are energized by building something rather than maintaining it, this is the role.
Why Work at Karbon
Gain global experience across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada while working with an experienced, high-performing team. We foster a collaborative, team-oriented culture that embraces diversity, invests in development, and provides consistent feedback. We are part of a fast-growing company that firmly believes in promoting high performers from within.
Equal Opportunity
Karbon embraces diversity and inclusion, aligning with our values as a business. Research has shown that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria. If you have made it this far in the job description but your past experience doesn't perfectly align, we do encourage you to still apply. You could still be the right person for the role!
We recruit and reward people based on capability and performance. We don't discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, physical or cognitive ability, and other diversity dimensions that may hinder inclusion in the organization. Generally, if you are a good person, we want to talk to you.
If there are any adjustments or accommodations that we can make to assist you during the recruitment process, and your journey at Karbon, contact us at people.support@karbonhq.com for a confidential discussion.
