Finance is the engine of the global economy. It decides which ideas get built, which companies rise, and how resources are allocated. Yet it runs on slow tools and outdated technology.

Our mission is to transform finance. We’re building the AI analyst that makes every banker, investor, and executive smarter, faster, and more creative. When finance works better, capital flows more efficiently, innovation accelerates, and progress compounds across the entire economy. We’re not building generic AI. We are purpose-built for financial services, already working with the world’s largest banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Ten years from now, every financial institution will run on Rogo.

We’re seeking a highly skilled and experienced Controller to lead the company’s accounting operations, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information, and maintaining strong internal controls. This role will oversee the monthly close process, financial reporting, compliance, and accounting policy implementation, while supporting cross-functional teams with financial insights.
