Bank Controller
About the role
About Mercury:
Mercury is a financial technology company building banking products for ambitious businesses. We've grown from a startup banking platform to a company that manages tens of billions in deposits — and now we're taking the next step: pursuing a de novo bank charter to become a full-fledged bank.
This is a rare and defining moment. As we transition from fintech to bank, we need to build institutional-grade accounting infrastructure from the ground up. That work starts here.
The Role:
Reporting directly to the Corporate Controller, the Bank Controller will own the accounting function for Mercury's banking entity. This is a foundational leadership role — you will build the policies, processes, systems, and team that enable Mercury to operate as a fully regulated insured depository institution.
You'll work at the intersection of technical accounting, regulatory compliance, and operational build-out. This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain an existing function — it's for someone who wants to architect one and work closely with Engineering and Product.
What You'll Do:
Bank Accounting Infrastructure
- Design and implement the Chart of Accounts, general ledger
