Controller

The bulk recyclables industry is a ~$1 trillion industry yet is largely a technological desert. Outlast is transforming the recyclables trade through technology. Our platform enables suppliers and buyers to safely and effortlessly transact their materials at the push of a button. Beyond connecting suppliers and buyers, we also provide enterprise account procurement, off-take, global logistics, financing, and quality control. As a company, we are keenly focused on optimizing the customer experience and doing good for the environment by promoting recycling.

Outlast is seeking a highly motivated Controller to lead our accounting operations and partner closely with the CFO in managing the company's financial health. This role will oversee core accounting functions (general ledger, accounts payable, billing, payroll, tax, and cash management) while helping to design scalable systems, controls, and reporting processes that support a growing business. The Controller manages the accounting team, ensures accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting, and acts as a strategic resource to leadership.

Accounting & Reporting

  • Lead the monthly close process, ensuring accurate journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements.
  • Maintain the general ledger and ensure proper recognition of revenues, expenses, accruals, and reserves.
  • Review and present monthly financials with the CFO, investigating and explaining key variances.
  • Develop, implement, and enforce accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and banks.
  • Partner with senior leadership and FP&A in budgeting, forecasting, and key financial analyses.

Accounts Payable & Receivables

  • Oversee AP, ensuring invoices are accurate, approved, and paid within terms while optimizing working capital.
  • Oversee billing and cash application processes to ensure timely and accurate recognition of customer receipts.
  • Identify opportunities for efficiency and automation within QuickBooks and related systems.
  • Banking & Cash Management

  • Reconcile bank accounts monthly and monitor daily cash transactions.
  • Prepare weekly borrowing base certificates and support cash flow management.
  • Facilitate and approve banking transactions in coordination with the CFO.
  • Payroll, Benefits, & Taxes

  • Oversee payroll accounting and related accruals in partnership with HR.
  • Ensure payroll liability accounts and benefit-related expenses are accurate and reconciled.
  • Coordinate tax filings and payments across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
  • Manage tax exemption processes and compliance.
  • Leadership & Team Management

  • Manage and mentor accounting staff, providing coaching, feedback, and development opportunities.
  • Set clear goals and expectations for the team, ensuring accountability for accuracy and timeliness.
  • Support onboarding, training, and continuous improvement of accounting processes.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align financial operations with broader company goals.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA strongly preferred. 57+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or management role.
  • Proven ability to manage the monthly close, lead audits, and build accounting processes for scale.
  • Strong technical knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and compliance requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and proficiency with Microsoft Office and G-Suite; SQL a plus.
  • Highly detail-oriented with excellent organizational and analytical skills.
  • Effective communicator with the ability to work collaboratively across functions.
  • Comfortable balancing tactical execution with strategic thinking.
  • $90,000 - $125,000 a year depending on experience.

    Outlast Core Values

    Have Courage : Take risks and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. No one ever invented the wheel by continuing to carve squares. Own your successes and failures.

    Scrap daily : Don't lose track of what we do. It is a dirty job, but we choose to do it. Roll up your sleeves. No job is too big or too small. Be proud of who we are and what we are doing.

    Have No Ceiling : If you plan to be a better person every day, you will always be on a path to personal and professional improvement. This mentality will push your peers to follow the same journey.

    Be accountable : Hold yourself to the same standards that you hold others. Lead by example and do not tolerate less than the highest degree of effort and professionalism from yourself and your colleagues.

    Appreciative Inquiry : Build up your team! We learn more by listening than we do talking. Have empathy with your peers, customers, and managers. Listen and reflect before responding and reacting. Five minds contemplating a solution is more powerful than one mouth yelling it.

    Over our skis : Don't get too comfortable. You never know what is around the corner. We must nurture a healthy paranoia over disappointing our customers and actively wage war on our competitors!

    Why Join Outlast?

    Our mission : To make the world greener and more sustainable by optimizing the recyclables supply chain.

    Our team : We are comprised of industry experts and technological disruptors. We pride ourselves on being a positive, enthusiastic, and highly capable group of individuals that collaborate around our mission and vision.

    Our culture : We encourage everyone's voice at the company to be heard. We rally around our core values to create a community of innovators whose collective efforts amount to far more than just a multiple of an individual.

    Our product : We aim to accomplish two things through technology - bring trust to an opaque market and deliver industry-defining customer experiences.

    Our value : Backed by some of the top Venture Capital funds and hedge funds in Silicon Valley, Outlast is uniquely positioned to disrupt the bulk recyclables, an industry that is rapidly approaching a $1T global value.
