From WorkWhile's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
WorkWhile is on a mission to help workers earn a better living and live better lives. More than 80 million Americans work hourly jobs - often with unpredictable schedules, near-minimum wages, and few benefits - leading to real financial instability. We're fixing that by matching enterprise customers across logistics, food production, retail, hospitality, events, and managed services with a quality hourly workforce, while giving workers stable income and unmatched benefits like next-day pay, free telehealth, and financial services.
WorkWhile is evolving from a high-growth temporary labor marketplace into a comprehensive workforce platform for enterprises with fintech offerings workers. The result is a multi-business-model company with a genuinely complex, interesting financial landscape.
Backed by Khosla Ventures and recognized by the Inc. 5000 for 10x growth, WorkWhile is reshaping the future of work.
The Opportunity
This is not a "maintain the books" Controller role. This is a build-it role.
As Corporate Controller, you'll serve as the CFO's right hand in architecting a world-class accounting function from the ground up - one capable of supporting high-volume transaction processing, multi-stream revenue recognition (Marketplace + SaaS + Fintech), and banking-level treasury operations. You'll lead an ERP migration, deploy AI-driven automation, and own the technical accounting for business models that most Controllers never get to work across simultaneously.
If you're a technically deep CPA who wants to do more than close the books - someone who wants to shape financial infrastructure at a venture-backed, mission-driven company - this role is built for you.
