The opportunity

Cash flow does not forecast itself, which is why Tesla is adding a Controller to the Athens team. Think of it less as a job and more as a $74,000 - $103,000 bet Tesla is placing on your 4 years and your judgment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Steer the contract grant reporting that keeps funders confident
  • Reconcile the contract benefits invoice against enrollment line by line
  • Keep deferred revenue schedules airtight as contracts renew
  • Build the $74,000 - $103,000 budget line and defend each assumption behind it
  • Track every finance expense back to a source document
  • Coordinate with the tax team on filings, estimates, and year-end provisions
  • Forecast tax payments precisely enough to avoid an underpayment penalty

What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years of GAAP reps, not just GAAP exposure
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Real ACCA chops, plus the Bank Reconciliation curiosity to keep growing
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, purpose-led environment
  • 4+ years navigating the politics that finance work attracts
  • Hands-on Goal Setting experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • 3 or more years steering finance projects end to end

Since day one, Tesla has been on a quietly-ambitious mission to reshape finance from its base in Athens, GA. Diverse perspectives make our finance work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

Earn $74,000 - $103,000, sharpen your Oracle NetSuite beside a mentor, enjoy the benefits, and never apologize for needing a flexible Tuesday.

The req cycled to active again moments ago for the Athens office.
