Assistant Controller

About the Company

ARC is a rapid-growth enterprise technology company. Since launching in late 2021 to serve frontline workers, ARC has become a category-defining device management solution and trusted partner to some of the world’s largest enterprises, including Walmart, lululemon, Gap, ShipBob, and several global leaders in supply chain and logistics. ARC was born out of ChargeItSpot, the consumer-facing tech company that pioneered phone charging solutions starting in 2012.

Through smart lockers integrated with proprietary software, ARC stores, secures, and charges the company-owned handheld devices (made by Zebra, Honeywell, and others) that frontline workers rely on every day for package scanning, inventory lookup, task management, mobile point of sale, and more.

Clients turn to ARC because managing and maintaining enterprise mobile devices post-purchase is harder than it looks. Devices go missing (~25% annually), stop working, or run out of power, costing payroll time, money, and productivity. ARC virtually eliminates these issues, ensuring devices are functional, charged, and accounted for – while improving productivity and experience for teams on the ground.

Market demand for ARC has been overwhelming. Device management has been a massive unmet need for decades, and ARC – backed by a decade of technical expertise and a homegrown patent portfolio – is uniquely positioned to solve it.

ARC’s Mission

Minimize Device Waste. Maximize Worker Productivity. Make Life Easier.

ARC’s Vision

Be the unrivaled leader in physical device management. With more than 25,000 ARC units expected to be deployed by 2030, ARC will simplify life for more than 1 million frontline workers every day.

About the Team

At ARC, we surround ourselves with independent thinkers who are detail-oriented and customer-obsessed. Our clients have routinely called us “the most talented team they’ve ever worked with.” We value determination, resourcefulness, imagination, and follow-through. We want people who are ready to get things done.

Our focus is fierce, but it’s not all hard work. We take time to get to know each other through a daily game of Jeopardy, meals together, and nights out for karaoke. We operate a hybrid work model, with most team members working in the office a couple of days a week, and the rest remotely.

Our Core Values

• We do what we say we will do.
• Details matter. A lot.
• Bias for action.
• Customer obsession.
• Diversity and authenticity.
• No ego. Only outcome.
• Think big.

About the Role

ARC by ChargeItSpot is seeking an Assistant Controller – Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting to help build the company’s financial reporting, technical accounting, and internal control capabilities during a period of rapid expansion following the close of a growth equity financing. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will own the technical core of the accounting function and shape the reporting, controls, and systems that carry ARC through its next stage of growth.

This role is built for a CPA who has seen strong accounting functions from the outside in public accounting and from the inside in industry and now wants to build one. The technical work is genuinely substantive. ARC leases its smart locker units to enterprise clients under multi-year contracts, so you will work through lessor accounting under ASC 842, revenue recognition for bundled hardware, software, and service arrangements, internal-use software capitalization, and the accounting for debt and equity financings – alongside a Controller with deep lessor accounting experience at a global equipment finance company.

You will own technical accounting research and policy documentation, manage the annual external audit, and serve as the accounting lead on our general ledger migration and the rollout of a third-party lease portfolio servicing platform. As the finance organization grows, so does the scope of this role.

The role is hands-on, and will work closely with the Controller, CFO, and functional leaders across the company.
