Financial Controller (Automation & BI) — Remote, PH CPA
About Ticket Rescue
We buy tickets from fans who can’t use them and resell through leading marketplaces.
2025 projected revenue: ≈ US $8 million.
Our two core units—Chat (service-driven) and Sell Now (high-volume purchasing)—generate thousands of transactions every week. We need one person to keep our books accurate and maintain the key commercial dashboards that guide our decisions.
Why this role exists
Traditional Controllers safeguard the numbers; BI analysts surface the story behind them. We want one owner who can design the accounting architecture and keep the commercial performance metrics—revenue, margin, conversion rate, ticket velocity—up to date and trustworthy.
In addition to owning our books, month-end close, and P&L accuracy, you’ll also maintain and improve our commercial KPI reporting so leadership always has clear visibility into sales, margins, and other key metrics.
