Who We Are
Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm and finally move AI pilots into production. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.
Atlan unifies this context by connecting to every part of the data and AI stack, enabling teams to build, collaborate on, and activate shared context across data, business, and AI workflows, including for AI agents.
Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures
Why this role matters 🔗
As a key member of the Finance Team, your core responsibility will be to own the review layer of day-to-day financial operations by leveraging precision, modern accounting tools, and proactive cross-functional collaboration.
Whether you're reviewing high-volume transactions, strengthening our month-end close, or ensuring our P&L and Balance Sheet are accurate and audit-ready, your work will directly contribute to Atlan’s mission and growth.
At Atlan, we’re building high-performance teams across every function — and this role is a cornerstone. We’re looking for individuals who want to do the best work of their careers: bold thinkers, problem solvers, and builders who thrive at the intersection of financial discipline, operational speed, and process innovation.
We value people who use systems thinking and data accuracy to create lasting impact in how we scale our financial infrastructure and internal controls.
Your Mission at Atlan 🌟
Own the Pulse of Financial Review
You will take full ownership of the review of day-to-day accounting and liaising with stakeholders to ensure the right data flows into the books. You aren’t just checking numbers; you are sanity-checking business reality and partnering with teams to keep it accurate.Eliminate the Month-End Crunch (Through Better Reviews)
Your ability to ensure that transactions and reconciliations are reviewed on time and with high quality will directly shape our ability to close books faster — moving from firefighting at month-end to a smooth, predictable review cycle.Architect the “Daily Cash & Balance Sheet Truth”
This role is central to unlocking real-time, reliable financial visibility — what you review and sign off on will be used by founders, leadership, and investors to make critical decisions. Your reviews help ensure that every number can be trusted.Automate and Standardize the Review Layer
You’ll have a blank canvas to design efficient review workflows: checklists, exception tracking, and automation for reconciliations and review procedures. You won’t just accept manual, one-off checks; you’ll help implement tools, rules, and processes that reduce errors and rework.Unblock the Strategy & Senior Accounting Team
By owning the review of the transactional layer with precision, you create leverage across the finance team — freeing up senior accountants and finance leaders to focus on complex accounting areas, strategic initiatives, and long-term planning.Gatekeeper of Integrity & Controls
You’ll join a small team with outsized impact — your vigilance in reviewing expenses, provisions, and balance sheet reconciliations in your first 6–12 months will lay the foundation for a clean, well-documented, audit-ready General Ledger and a stronger internal control environment.
What makes you a great fit 😍
Deep experience in a fast-paced SaaS or tech company accounting environment, ideally within a GL / core accounting team.
Proven track record of improving, scaling, or optimizing accounting processes, including evaluating or using AI / automation in day-to-day accounting or review operations.
Strong communicator, collaborator, and builder with high ownership and the ability to work across distributed, cross-functional teams.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and taking things from zero-to-one — you don’t just follow a process, you help design and refine it.
You bring both strategic thinking and roll-up-your-sleeves execution — equally comfortable designing a review checklist and diving into a tricky reconciliation.
You are fluent with VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and reconciliations, and you have a strong “tech curiosity” about how to:
reduce recurring manual review work,
improve the quality and consistency of reconciliations,
leverage AI, integrations, and automation to simplify accounting, documentation, and processes, and
prevent errors at source.
You view this role not as a destination, but as a bootcamp in mastering the operational and control fundamentals required to become a Controller or Finance Leader in the future — with a strong foundation in review, controls, and high-quality financial reporting.
