Role Overview

Simplify Healthcare is a pure product company, and this Finance Controller role should be built around product-company financial discipline: ARR/MRR tracking, revenue recognition under ASC 606, deferred revenue schedules, R&D cost capitalization vs. expensing, and customer-level profitability. The Controller owns close, controls, and compliance for the entity, and partners with product and customer success leadership on the metrics that matter in a SaaS/product business.

Prepare P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements in line with group reporting formats

Track and report SaaS metrics: ARR, MRR, churn, net revenue retention, and gross margin by product line
Ensure the entity's numbers roll up cleanly into group consolidation

Controls & Compliance

Design and enforce internal controls, including approval matrices, reconciliations, and segregation of duties
Ensure statutory compliance (tax filings, regulatory returns, and jurisdiction-specific requirements)
Manage the statutory and internal audit process end to end
Maintain compliance with Ind AS and US GAAP as applicable, given the entity's product sold into US healthcare clients

Cost & Margin Management

Track R&D spend and evaluate capitalization vs. expensing of software development costs
Monitor cost of goods/cost to serve for the product (hosting, support, implementation) and gross margin by client
Support pricing and packaging decisions with margin analysis
Intercompany & Transfer Pricing
Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations with other group entities

Business Partnering
