Controller - Part-Time (50%)

What we’re looking for:

Salt Security is a leading cybersecurity company protecting APIs and modern applications in an increasingly AI-driven world. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a highly experienced, hands-on Controller to take ownership of our accounting and financial reporting processes.

This is a part-time, high-impact role with significant visibility. The ideal candidate goes beyond maintaining the books — they own the accounting function, anticipate problems before they escalate, and continuously drive efficiency. Strong technical accounting expertise combined with a practical mindset and a high degree of autonomy are a must.

About the position:

As our Controller, you will be responsible for overseeing core accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance, and tax-related activities for Salt Security. You will work closely with FP&A, Legal, HR, Operations, and external advisors to ensure accurate and timely reporting and a strong control environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Big 4 Manager, Assistant Controller, or experienced accounting professional who is looking for a flexible part-time role while continuing to have meaningful ownership and impact.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Israeli statutory requirements

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger, journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany accounting

• Ensure accurate revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, including review of complex customer arrangements

• Manage and coordinate quarterly reviews and annual audits with external auditors

• Oversee tax compliance processes and coordinate with external tax advisors

• Maintain and strengthen accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, reporting, and operational efficiency

• Support the implementation and optimization of accounting systems, ERP functionality, automation, and AI-based tools

• Partner closely with FP&A to ensure consistency and accuracy between accounting and management reporting

• Collaborate with Legal, HR, Operations, and other cross-functional teams on accounting, compliance, and financial matters

• Take ownership of special projects, financial analysis, and other ad hoc initiatives as the company scales

• Proactively identify issues, develop solutions, and drive them through to completion

Requirements:
