If you enjoy turning messy activity into clean books and clear decisions, this page is for you. Here is how Remote Controller careers work at PlotPath, what a great week feels like, and how to apply.
The role in plain language
Controllers at PlotPath are stewards of accuracy and clarity. You own the monthly close, explain what moved and why, and keep a simple forward view that leaders can trust. Most days mix quiet deep work with short written updates that move decisions forward.
How we work together
We are remote first. Most collaboration happens in writing so teammates can think, respond, and leave a record that stands on its own. A few light touch huddles help when a choice needs live alignment. You will have focus blocks for reconciliations and analysis, plus predictable windows where clients know you are available.
Your toolkit includes QuickBooks Online for the ledger, connected bill pay and payroll, and PlotPath dashboards for KPIs, close status, and forecast tracking. Checklists keep the close repeatable. Templates keep reports short and readable on a single screen.
What a good week looks like
Early in the week you clear bank feeds, cards, and any open items that could affect cash or filings. Midweek you compare actuals to plan and write a short note that calls out the drivers, the owner, and the next step. Late in the week you refresh the 13 week cash view and the 12 month plan, then publish a clean summary with links to the detail. Somewhere in that rhythm you improve one small piece of the system so the next close goes faster.
Who tends to thrive
You like quiet concentration and you also like telling the story the numbers reveal. You write clearly. You document decisions as you go. You care about repeatable steps, not heroics. You are comfortable asking for a quick huddle when written alignment stalls. If that sounds like you, you will likely enjoy this work.
Growth and impact
Controllers grow through harder accounts, cleaner systems, and clearer writing. As you progress you will mentor teammates, lead quality reviews, and shape playbooks that lift the whole team. The through line is steady improvement. Each month the close is a little faster, the forecast a little tighter, and the story a little clearer.
What success looks like
Books are reconciled and reproducible. Reports fit on one screen and lead to action within the week. Forecasts track to agreed tolerance and are easy to update when reality changes. Clients feel informed, not surprised. The team can follow your steps without asking how you did them.
How we hire
The process is simple and respectful of focus time. You start with a short application. If the fit looks good, we follow with a written screen that mirrors day to day work. A structured interview explores judgment, not trivia. A small take home assessment checks clarity and accuracy. If both sides feel good, we move to an offer and set a clear 30 60 90 day plan.
Quick answers
The work is fully remote within U.S. time zones. We support service and software businesses where unit economics and cash discipline matter. Success is measured by on time close, accuracy, clarity, and steady system improvements. Compensation and benefits are discussed early in the process and tied to scope and experience.
