Underline starts with our people.

At Underline, we've rapidly built a culture around ownership, trust, community, and innovation. Underline is dedicated to cultivating a growth environment where people feel valued, work with a purpose of mission, are personally rewarded, and are professionally challenged.

Are you ready to join this team and transform American communities?

Underline was founded in 2019 with a singular mission: to ensure the vibrancy of our nation through building intelligent community infrastructure in a socially equitable manner. We work with American communities to design, finance, and construct open access fiber-optic networks. These networks are critical to secure internet access that’s fast, affordable, and fair. As open access networks, this infrastructure is also the essential foundation for distributed healthcare services, new wireless solutions, and resilient infrastructure including modernized water systems and responsible energy creation. Our first two projects are in Colorado Springs and Fountain, Colorado.

Underline is building the infrastructure backbone of the connected future. As we scale, we're looking for a Corporate Controller to be the financial backbone of our operations.

This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of accounting precision and strategic financial management. You'll own the integrity of our financial reporting, keep our close process running like clockwork, and serve as a trusted partner to the CFO as we grow. If you're someone who takes pride in clean books, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and wants to help shape the financial infrastructure of a mission-driven company, this role is for you.

You're a controller — or a strong senior accountant ready for the step — who brings both technical rigor and practical judgment. You don't need a large team to get things done, and you're energized by the idea of building and improving processes rather than just maintaining them. You communicate clearly with leadership, hold yourself to a high standard, and take real ownership of your work.

You're comfortable being the most senior accounting voice in the room and know how to balance the demands of daily operations with longer-horizon planning and reporting.

• Provide day-to-day oversight and development of the accounting team, setting a high standard for accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Own the monthly close process across all financial entities, ensuring timely and accurate reporting every cycle
• Coordinate and manage relationships with external auditors and tax advisors, overseeing preparation and fulfillment of all audit and tax deliverables
• Maintain and improve liquidity forecasting, tracking cash positions and producing forward-looking visibility for leadership
• Produce regular financial reporting packages for internal management, as well as reporting required to satisfy external credit facility obligations
• Support control and reporting projects as directed by the CEO and CFO, rolling up your sleeves wherever the finance function needs to move quickly

• 10+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience, with at least 5 years in a controller, assistant controller, or senior accounting manager role
• Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP); experience with multi-entity consolidations a plus
• Demonstrated experience managing or coordinating external audit and tax engagements
• Proficiency in financial reporting and cash/liquidity forecasting
• In-depth knowledge of NetSuite
• CPA preferred

• Experience in infrastructure, telecom, utilities, or capital-intensive industries
• Familiarity with debt covenant compliance and lender reporting requirements
• Exposure to EOS/Traction or other operating frameworks
• Demonstrated experience building or improving accounting processes at a scaling company
