Job description

Financial Controller

FitXR is a fitness technology company working at the cutting edge of VR and MR, building a movement for movement.

We started life in 2016 in a garden shed in the UK. Today, we’re building FitXR, one of the top-downloaded apps on the Meta Quest store. We’ve raised close to $30m from top investors such as Maveron, Hiro, and BoostVC.

We've built a growing range of fitness studios, from box workouts with world-class trainers like Olympian Nicola Adams to immersive Zumba dance classes. While nothing compares to trying it yourself, you can watch a trailer here.

Our team is distributed across Europe and the US. We’re guided by our Principles of Play: four core beliefs about how we treat each other and our community. We make space for every voice, believe in the importance of a learner’s mindset, and prioritize team success over individual glory.

FitXR is available on Meta Quest 2 & 3 and has been downloaded by over a million people worldwide and featured in Forbes, Empire, T3, Washington Post, Men's Health, GQ and more. In 2022, FitXR ranked 6th in The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups.

TLDR

We are looking for a Financial Controller to add to our already incredible team. You will have an unique opportunity to support our rapid growth at the intersection of technology and health.

This high-impact, highly visibility and expansive role is critical in our accounting and reporting processes, and you will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team with support from a robust Finance team.

Please note that this is a fully remote position. The CFO is based in US East, but the rest of the Finance team are based in the UK.

What you’ll find here 

  • A highly collaborative team of multi-disciplinary specialists, who manage a huge range of experimental and high-impact product initiatives - your thoughts, challenges and ideas are actively encouraged!

  • An ambitious but ambiguous environment - we’re here to build a category-defining brand and product that radically changes how people experience fitness. This means there is no defined path for us to follow: we’re breaking new ground every day and learning as we do. You’ll thrive here if you’re as passionate as us about changing people’s lives for the better while being comfortable navigating ambiguity and creating your own certainty in the uncertain  

  • A culture built on delivering greatness, iterating, sharing feedback and trying new things - we want you to take bold bets focused on driving value to our customers, and tell us what you learn if it doesn’t work! 

  • A highly invested senior leadership team who believe our people are what will take our business to the next level - they are your teammates, cheerleaders, coaches, support team - working beside you as we build the #1 immersive fitness app in the world

  • Strong foundations, but an openness to work your way - we have a high quality bar when it comes to delivery, but teams have the freedom to self-organize how they achieve this 

  • An excellent benefits package - see below


Where you’ll spend your time 

  • Lead accounting and financial control for the company

  • Work with the CFO, Management Accountant, and Strategic Finance to build an impactful Finance team

  • Serve as a business partner and provide ongoing support to cross functional teams across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Operations

  • Conduct monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes

  • Prepare, maintain, and analyze various reports for external (investors and Board) and internal stakeholders

  • Collaborate and manage outside consultants in producing annual UK audits, as well as tax credit filings (VGTR)

  • Review existing processes and structures to assist in the identification of improvement opportunities with a focus on simplification, standardization and optimization


We’d love to see from you

  • 5+ years of professional experience in a fast-paced environment

  • Interest and/or experience at a growing venture-backed startup

  • ACA/ACCA or equivalent qualification

  • Bachelor's degree in finance or accounting (with Big-4 experience) - an advantage

  • Knowledge of UK and US GAAP

  • Effective communicator with both internal and external stakeholders, including proficiency in Google Slides

  • Ability to work autonomously, with an impact-oriented mindset towards work

  • Intellectually curious, passion for growth, and appetite for healthy discussions with radical candor

  • Capacity to work under pressure and to adapt to a fast-paced and changing environment

  • Motivated by the opportunity to help the world feel better and more powerful through movement, and shape the future of the next computing platform

  • A nice-to-have would be experience with ERP and BI tools and additional automation software

Our mission is to make the world a healthier place with the world's most loved fitness product: to create a Movement for Movement. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at FitXR.
