About Dexmate
Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI — combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots as easy to build and deploy as software. Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage. We exist to change that.
Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.
If you want to help shape the next layer of human capability — and believe the future of robotics should be built together, not in isolation — we'd love to build it with you.
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Financial Controller at Dexmate. This is a foundational role: you'll set up and own our core accounting infrastructure — including the hardware-specific accounting a robotics company needs — while also acting as a strategic finance partner to leadership.
About the Role
Foundational Finance & Accounting
Own the monthly and quarterly close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals.
Build and maintain scalable accounting systems, chart of accounts, and internal controls from the ground up.
Manage day-to-day accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and expense management.
Ensure accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements and maintain audit-ready records.
Oversee tax compliance (including R&D tax credit capture, which many hardware/robotics companies qualify for) and coordinate with external accountants, auditors, and tax advisors.
Manage cash flow, banking relationships, and day-to-day treasury operations.
Evaluate and implement finance systems (accounting software, expense platforms, payroll, procurement) to support the company's growth.
Hardware & Manufacturing Accounting
Stand up inventory accounting and cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) processes across raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished robots.
Build BOM-based product costing and track manufacturing variances and overhead allocation.
Manage capital expenditure tracking and fixed-asset accounting for prototyping, tooling, and lab/manufacturing equipment.
Partner with hardware, supply chain, and procurement teams on vendor payment terms, purchase orders, and supplier accounting.
Strategic Finance & Investor Support
Build and maintain financial models, budgets, and forecasts to support planning and decision-making.
Prepare board decks, investor updates, and financial reporting packages.
Support fundraising efforts, including data room preparation, diligence requests, and cap table management.
Own equity and stock-based compensation accounting (409A coordination, ISO/RSU accounting, cap table reconciliation).
Partner with the CEO and leadership team on headcount planning, burn rate management, and runway analysis.
Develop KPIs and dashboards to track company and departmental financial performance.
Advise leadership on the financial implications of key business decisions as the company scales.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred.
8+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, ideally including time at a startup or high-growth company.
Prior experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accounting Manager, with hands-on ownership of the full close cycle.
Strong working knowledge of GAAP, including stock-based compensation accounting; experience preparing audit-ready financials.
Comfort operating as a "builder" — able to set up processes and systems from scratch with little existing infrastructure.
Experience supporting fundraising, investor reporting, or board materials is a strong plus.
Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite) and strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills.
Experience with inventory, COGS, and cost accounting in a hardware, manufacturing, or robotics environment is a strong plus given Dexmate's product.
Excellent communication skills and the judgment to work closely and directly with the CEO and leadership team.
High integrity and discretion when handling confidential financial and company information.
