Help redefine customer support for the AI era.

Most companies are running support on ticketing systems built in 2007, with AI bolted on as an afterthought.

Botpress is the enterprise-grade AI agent platform for customer support — built the other way around.

As the 3rd fastest-growing B2B AI start-up worldwide, we're displacing legacy platforms like Zendesk at scale — across industries, regions, and thousands of companies worldwide.

The work ahead is ambitious. The prospect is rare.

We take a deliberate approach to growth: product-led, capital-efficient, and highly focused.

If you want to build the customer support platform for the AI era, we're looking for top talent to join us.

About the Role As Financial Controller, you'll own the financial backbone of a company scaling fast. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you'll run our core accounting operations end-to-end while shaping the forecasts, board reporting, and financial systems that guide how we grow. Capital efficiency is core to how Botpress operates — this role exists to make sure our financial operations are as rigorous, automated, and AI-leveraged as the product we build.

Responsibilities Own the month-end and year-end close, delivering accurate and timely financial statements

Manage day-to-day accounting operations: revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations

Automate and streamline finance operations — we expect you to leverage AI tools aggressively

Lead, mentor, and develop a small finance team (1-2 direct reports), fostering their professional growth and ensuring high-quality output

Lead annual audits and ensure ongoing compliance with accounting standards

Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and cash flow models in partnership with the VP of Finance

Prepare board and investor reporting, including SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, burn multiple)

Design and implement financial systems, controls, and processes that scale with the business

Partner with department leaders on spend management,



headcount planning, and unit economics Requirements CPA designation

5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including 3+ years in a controller or senior accounting leadership role

Bias toward automation — you'd rather build a system than repeat a task and you have a proven track record of that

Experience at a high-growth SaaS or startup, with fluency in SaaS revenue recognition and metrics

Hands-on FP&A; experience: budgeting, forecasting, and board-level reporting

Track record of building or upgrading financial systems, processes, and controls

Detail-obsessed and deadline-driven, but comfortable with the ambiguity of a scaling startup

Nice to have: Big 4 or audit background;

experience with multi-entity or cross-border operations
