ABOUT PARTICULA

Particula is pioneering Physical AI for play, learning and growth, creating connected experiences that bring together physical play and smart technology.

We’ve grown from one flagship product into four product lines, GoCube, GoChess, GoDice and GoBalance, and we’re continuing to expand into new products and categories, including licensed products with global franchises like Harry Potter. Our products are sold around the world and have been recognized by WIRED, Forbes and The Wall Street Journal.

Particula is a lean, fast-moving team where technology, hardware and consumer product design meet, and where the finance function has to keep pace with a company scaling quickly across new product lines, licensing deals and international markets.

THE ROLE

As Controller, you will own Particula’s financial close, reporting and controls, the backbone that lets a fast-growing, multi-product company scale with confidence. You’ll work closely with the CFO on everything from monthly close to investor reporting, while bringing structure and automation to a finance function that is being built out.

We’re looking for someone hands-on who is comfortable working directly across the finance function and continuously looking for ways to improve how we work.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Own the monthly and annual close process end to end.
• Manage payroll processing and related compliance.
• Prepare annual financial reports and statutory filings.
• Manage the annual audit process and the relationship with external auditors.
• Prepare investor reports and support board/investor materials.
• Build and maintain financial controls and processes as the company scales.
• Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting and cash management.
• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline finance processes, including through AI and other tools.
• Oversee the bookkeeping and AP functions.

WHO YOU ARE

We’re looking for someone with great character and strong interpersonal skills, a positive team player who makes the people around them better. You should be independent and comfortable working without close supervision. We want someone who asks questions, pushes to understand why a task is done a certain way, and is willing to challenge the current state and existing processes rather than just maintain them.

You’re a strong performer with a genuine hunger to learn and grow and a tech-oriented mindset, someone who sees automation and better tooling as part of the job.
