The Financial Controller acts as the operational backbone of Nauta’s finance function. This role owns the day-to-day execution of accounting, cash management, accounts receivable collections, and unit economics tracking, ensuring financial information is accurate, timely, and actionable.
The Controller works closely with the VP of Finance & Strategy, who focuses on fundraising, investor relations, board reporting, and capital allocation. This is a high-ownership role for someone highly organized and comfortable operating across multiple jurisdictions, coordinating with external accounting partners and working cross-functionally with DevOps, SecOps, Sales, and Customer Success.
What you’ll do
- Own the monthly financial close process across Nauta’s entities, coordinating with external accounting firms to close and deliver financials no later than the 10th of the following month
- Partner with Operations, Revenue, and external accounting partners to ensure AP/AR invoices are properly captured and recorded on an accrual basis, keeping the chart of accounts and revenue recognition aligned with contract terms
- Maintain and review the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast weekly, flagging funding gaps and intercompany transfer needs early
- Own and maintain Nauta’s unit economics model: CAC, payback period, gross margin by product line, LTV, and contribution margin: reconciled with the financial statements
- Drive accounts receivable collections, maintain the AR aging report, and coordinate with Customer Success and Commercial on at-risk accounts: cash collected is a primary KPI
- Partner with DevOps and SecOps to monitor and control infrastructure spend (cloud, security tooling, SaaS), building a monthly review process
- Flag inconsistencies before they reach leadership, serving as the connective tissue between Finance and the broader business
Who you are
- 3 to 5 years of experience in finance, accounting, or controllership roles, ideally with exposure to SaaS or technology companies
- Strong technical accounting foundation (US GAAP exposure is a plus)
- Experience coordinating external accounting firms or managing multi-entity structures
- Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills; comfort with cash flow forecasting and unit economics
- Familiarity with SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC, LTV, payback)
- Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and proactive: you chase the close, not the other way around
- Fully bilingual (Spanish and English), written and spoken
- Comfortable working across time zones with external partners and internal stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field; CPA, Contador Público, or equivalent certification is a plus
Nice to have
- Experience at a venture-backed startup, particularly during a Series A or growth-stage fundraise
- Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Stripe
- Exposure to cloud cost management (AWS, GCP, Azure billing)
- Prior experience with intercompany transactions across LATAM and US entities
