OLIX is building the next generation of AI infrastructure, specifically decode accelerators (DX-1) designed to address the massive compute and power bottleneck in AI. The company is scaling rapidly from prototype toward high-volume manufacturing and seeking a Financial Controller to build and lead the finance function during a critical growth phase.
Reporting to the CFO, you'll own the core financial operations engine: month-end close, statutory and management reporting, accounts payable, payroll, capital accounting, share options, and tax. This is a hands-on, early-stage hire into a finance team being built from the ground up. You won't inherit a mature process; you'll architect one, selecting and implementing the ERP system, establishing audit-ready controls, and scaling toward public-company standards.
The defining challenge is manufacturing. As OLIX scales production, you'll partner closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure production data flows cleanly into accounting, with rigorous controls and auditability. This is hardware accounting—more complex than SaaS, requiring deep understanding of physical supply chains, inventory, and capital deployment.
Key responsibilities include: owning day-to-day financial operations and reconciliations; preparing accurate numbers across production, AP, payroll, capital, and tax; supporting ERP selection and implementation; establishing audit-ready controls and leading external audit; partnering with engineering/manufacturing to ensure clean data flow; and providing the reliable foundation for FP&A and commercial finance.
You should be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent), ideally Big Four trained, with strong technical accounting foundations and a high bar for accuracy. You're sharp, quick to learn, and comfortable reasoning from first principles in a small, flat team. Experience with manufacturing operations, scale-up environments, or hardware/semiconductor businesses is valuable but not required; attitude and raw ability matter more than narrow specialization.
