About General Intuition

General Intuition is the frontier research lab for acting in space and time. We build large action models that can perceive, predict, and act across virtual and physical environments. We recently raised $320M at a $2.3B valuation led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Eric Schmidt, and Jeff Bezos, to discover the next generation of real-world intelligence. Our models learn from Medal, the largest platform for gaming clips, where millions of gamers capture and share the moments that form our underlying dataset.

The Role

As Financial Controller, you'll own US accounting, reporting, and compliance end-to-end - from day-to-day bookkeeping to technical GAAP calls, tax filings, audits, and the processes that make us more efficient every quarter.

You'll move fluidly between living in the ledgers, leading month-end close, automating workflows, and coordinating auditors across multiple jurisdictions. We need insane attention to detail, mastery of US GAAP, and strong US + international tax knowledge - someone who raises the bar on quality while helping us move fast.

What We're Looking For
  • You own the general ledger and the monthly, quarterly, and annual close in US GAAP - revenue recognition, accruals, capitalization, and reconciliations - fast and precise, with the policies and internal controls to back it.

  • You run US federal and state corporate tax plus international tax - quarterly estimates, filings, cross-border entity structures, and transfer pricing - coordinating external advisors and staying ahead of regulatory change.

  • You own payroll compliance - payroll taxes, filings, and the PEO/provider relationship.

  • You lead audits and reporting - annual financial statements, audit prep, investor updates and due diligence, plus the management dashboards and variance analyses behind strategic decisions.

  • You build and automate scalable finance processes across accounting, billing, payroll, and reporting, implementing the tools to kill manual work and error risk.

  • You bring 5+ years including Big 4 / public accounting, deep US GAAP and financial-statement expertise, and hands-on US + international tax across multi-entity structures and complex reconciliations.

  • You thrive autonomously in a fast-paced startup - comfortable with ambiguity, extreme attention to detail, happy in the weeds. Bonus: you've stood up a finance function from scratch.
