Gyde is building an AI-native insurance brokerage platform that transforms traditional insurance brokerages into next-generation, data-driven organizations. The company combines acquisition and AI to help agencies run more efficiently, serve clients more personally, and scale faster.

The founding team includes leaders from Oscar, Stripe, Vista Equity Partners, and Alpine.
As Corporate Controller, you will build and professionalize the controlling and accounting function of this rapidly growing platform. This is a hands-on, high-growth role where you'll own core accounting and controlling operations day-to-day while working directly with leadership on building out finance infrastructure and reporting. You'll spend significant time developing, refining, and automating accounting and controlling processes and policies.
Key Responsibilities:
Controlling & Accounting Operations:
- Own monthly close and core accounting operations
- Own the general ledger and payment systems
- Prepare investor and lender reporting as well as all necessary filings
- Establish and maintain basic internal controls
- Partner with external advisors (tax, integration, and others) as needed
Systems & Process Automation:
- Lead the implementation of ERP and AP software at acquired partners
- Automate and optimize financial workflows (AP, AR, consolidation, close, reporting, filings)
- Transition the organization from fragmented tools (QuickBooks, spreadsheets) to an integrated environment
This role suits someone with a builder mentality who wants to shape the accounting and controlling function early rather than step into one that's already built. You'll operate with limited structure and build processes from scratch in a high-growth, rapidly evolving environment.
Requirements:
- 4-7 years of relevant accounting and finance experience
- At least 2 years at an accounting or audit firm
- At least 2 years at a startup or small company
- Comfortable operating with limited structure and building process from scratch
- Deep understanding of monthly close, budgeting, cash forecasting, and basic controls
- AI experience is a strong plus
