Skills & Keywords
What you'll do
As the Corporate Controller at Giga, you will own the financial integrity of a company at the center of the AI infrastructure boom. This is not a steady-state accounting role — it's a critical role underpinning Giga’s capital decisions, regulatory strategy, and operational scaling. You'll lead an accounting team through the complexity of multi-entity consolidations, the technical accounting demands of a high-growth business, and support Giga’s mission critical finance team as it raises debt and equity capital to build out proprietary AI infrastructure. If you want to build something that matters and leave a fingerprint on how a category-defining company manages its financial foundation, this is your role.
- Own all aspects of technical accounting, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), asset capitalization, and complex debt/equity instruments.
- Serve as the company's primary authority on US GAAP compliance, driving accounting policy development and ensuring consistency across all entities.
- Lead and develop the existing accounting team, setting clear expectations, managing performance, and building a high-output culture.
- Oversee the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness at all times.
- Manage external auditor relationships and lead the annual audit process end-to-end.
- Partner cross-functionally with legal, operations, and executive leadership to evaluate and account for complex transactions, including project financing, M&A activity, and capital raises.
- Establish and maintain a robust internal controls framework (SOX-ready or equivalent) as the company scales toward a potential liquidity event.
- Drive the implementation and optimization of financial systems and ERP infrastructure to support scale.
Required Qualifications
- CPA required.
- 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including time in public accounting (Big 4 or national firm preferred) and in-house Controller or VP Finance roles.
- Deep technical accounting expertise across US GAAP, including experience writing and defending accounting memos on complex or non-standard transactions.
- Demonstrated experience managing and developing accounting teams of 3+ people.
- Experience leading an annual external audit process from start to sign-off.
- Hands-on proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, or equivalent) and financial reporting tools.
- Strong command of Excel/Google Sheets for financial modeling and analysis.
Nice to Have
- Experience in energy, utilities, infrastructure, real estate, or capital-intensive industries.
- Familiarity with project finance structures or debt covenants.
- Experience scaling a finance function through a Series B or later-stage raise, or through an IPO readiness process.
- Exposure to multi-entity consolidations or international subsidiaries.
Compensation & Benefits
Total rewards package
We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:
Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.
High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.
