The posting

Alt is unlocking the value of alternative assets, starting with the $5 B trading-card market. We let collectors buy, sell, vault, and finance their cards in one place and we are backed by leaders at Stripe, Coinbase, Seven Seven Six, and pro athletes like Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our next frontier is real-time pricing at scale—the Alt Value that powers every trade, loan, and product on the platform.

The Role We are hiring a Controller to build and own Alt's accounting function for the first time. Today Finance is a one-person team supported by an outsourced accounting provider — you will bring that function in-house, close out our external audit, lead our conversion to full US GAAP accrual accounting, and take ownership of tax and systems work, reporting directly to the Head of Finance. Alt is fully remote (US), and this is a build-from-scratch role at an early-stage company: you’ll write the policies, checklists, and controls Alt has never had, and grow a small team behind you as volume scales. If you want to own a function end-to-end rather than inherit one, this is that job.

What You'll Do • Own the monthly close end-to-end and drive it toward a 5-day, fully reconciled, audit-ready close, with nothing aged past 30 days. • Lead the conversion from mixed cash/accrual to full US GAAP accrual across every revenue stream: auctions, the fixed-price exchange, lending and cash advances, and partner revenue. • Own the chart of accounts and revenue recognition policy, and lead the work to tie GL entries back to our source-of-truth data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake) and feed it directly into QuickBooks or a future ERP, so revenue postings stop being a manual month-end exercise. • Be the primary point of contact for our external auditors: own the PBC list, walkthroughs, and full close-out of open items. • Own the tax compliance calendar (corporate and fund-level returns, K-1s, state and local filings, 1099s, and the annual R&D credit study), working with outside tax advisors. • Own covenant and borrowing-base reporting for our asset-backed credit facility, partnering with the Head of Finance on lender compliance. • Own day-to-day accounting operations (AP/AR, reconciliations, fixed assets, spend controls, and corporate card and vendor administration), and manage our outsourced provider with a mandate to bring the work in-house over time. What You Bring: • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on controllership in industry. • Deep US GAAP knowledge, with direct experience converting a company from cash or mixed-basis accounting to full accrual. • Proven ownership of an external audit relationship — PBC lists, walkthroughs, sample testing, and auditor communication. • Experience in a marketplace, fintech, or lending environment, with comfort in principal-vs-agent revenue questions and reserve/receivable accounting. • Fluency with QuickBooks, a modern spend platform (e.g., Ramp), an HRIS (e.g., Rippling), and enough SQL/BI comfort to tie GL entries back to source data, ideally including running an integration between a data warehouse and an accounting system. • Experience managing an outsourced, fractional, or offshore accounting team. • Nice to have: asset-backed lending or covenant/borrowing-base reporting, and experience preparing a company for institutional fundraising or M&A diligence.

How We'll Interview You

We'll be specific so you can prepare. Before any of it: download the app, put a card up, make a bid, or sell.. Every round assumes you've used the product, and we expect your point of view to sharpen as you go.

1. Recruiter screen— 30 minutes. Come ready to walk the accounting function you built — what existed on day one, what existed when you left — plus a process you automated, why Alt specifically, and comp.

2. Hiring manager interview with Justin — 45 minutes. Be ready to go deep on one close you owned and one accrual conversion or audit you led: what the books looked like before, what you changed, and what broke. Expect questions about transaction volume and marketplace revenue.

3. Team interview — 30 minutes. How you work with the people upstream and downstream of the GL, and how you operate an outsourced team.

4. Artifact review — 45 minutes. Bring something you built. A close calendar, a revenue recognition memo, a control matrix, a borrowing-base certificate — redacted as needed. We'll work through it live and push back on at least one thing on purpose. How you take that matters as much as the artifact.

5. Leore, our founder and CEO — 30 minutes

Compensation: $165,000 - $190,000 per year, plus equity for all full-time employees.

WHAT WE OFFER:

For full-time Employees

- We cover 85% of your medical, dental, and vision, and up to 50% for dependents. HSA/FSA available

- Generous PTO that people actually take

- Parental leave at full salary

- $200/month wellness + $100/month home office stipend

- Free DoorDash Pass membership, because dinner shouldn't be a decision

- 401(k)

- Alt Equity to all full-time employees

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
