Assistant Controller

Join LayerZero, a company redefining value movement across chains at internet scale. As an Assistant Controller, you will own day-to-day accounting operations and the monthly close process across our global entity structure. This hands-on role requires precision, structure, and operational excellence in a fast-moving environment. You will work closely with finance leadership and cross-functional partners to ensure accurate financial reporting and scalable processes.

• Execute and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit readiness.
• Maintain the general ledger in NetSuite, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and intercompany activity.
• Own accounts payable and receivable workflows, including vendor onboarding, invoice processing, and payment runs using tools like Ramp.
• 5–8+ years of experience in accounting, ideally with a mix of public accounting and in-house experience
• Solid understanding of US GAAP, balance sheet accounting, and close best practices (CPA preferred, not required)
• Hands-on experience with modern finance tools such as Ramp (or similar) and ADP (or similar payroll providers)
• Clear communicator who can explain accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders
• Detail-oriented, highly organized, and obsessed with accuracy — you close loops and don’t let issues linger
• Strong working knowledge of NetSuite and month-end close in a multi-entity environment
• Comfortable operating in high-growth, ambiguous environments where processes are built, not inherited
