Full job description
Who we are:
Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive.
We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.
Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production.
About the team: Formic’s Finance team enables disciplined growth across our Robotics-as-a-Service platform. The team oversees capital strategy, treasury, credit, financial operations, compliance, accounting, and investor engagement. As Formic scales nationally, Finance ensures capital is deployed intelligently, portfolio performance remains strong, and the company maintains long-term financial resilience.
Finance operates at the center of strategy and execution. It connects operational performance to capital markets, aligns deployment velocity with balance sheet strength, and supports executive decision-making with rigorous financial insight.
About the role:
As Senior Manager, Accounting & Controls, you will play a key role in strengthening Formic's Accounting foundation during a period of growth. You will focus on projects critical to the success of the business, identify and implement process improvements, and partner across the Finance organization to help elevate accounting operations.

Be responsible for the preparation of financial statements, including reviewing supporting schedules and reconciliations for internal stakeholders
Controls and Compliance
Design, implement, and maintain a robust internal control environment, work to anticipate risk areas and build preventive controls
Identify gaps in audit readiness and make practical improvements to documentation, workflows, and recurring support files
Lead the documentation process to develop improved processes and document appropriately
Establish clear workflows and documentation standards for day-to-day accounting operations.
Collaborate closely with the Staff Accountant and broader finance team to ensure alignment and efficiency.
Systems & Process Improvement
Continually drive forward efforts to shorten the close timeline
Partner with the Associate Director on ERP improvements, system initiatives and accounting automations, providing hands-on input from an accounting operations perspective.

Develop and maintain both the documentation and accounting procedures that keep pace and are scalable as the business model evolves
What Makes You a Great Fit:
Required

7–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including significant tenure at a Top 10 public accounting firm
Senior Manager (or equivalent) level in Audit / Assurance, with demonstrated experience leading audit engagements and managing teams
Deep technical knowledge of US GAAP, with particular strength in revenue recognition and lease accounting
Exceptional analytical, organizational, and project management skills with a strong attention to detail
Small-company, one-team mindset - you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and doing whatever it takes to help the team succeed

What we look for:
We’re building this company from the ground up, and every person we hire has an outsized impact on our culture, performance, and trajectory. While each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives, we look for people who align with our Operating Principles and embody them in action. If this sounds like you, Formic may be the right place for you!
Fearless Optimism: You make bold bets and default optimistic. You believe in the mission, aren’t paralyzed by risk, and fear inaction more than failure. You see ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn’t yet exist.
Create the Magic: You absorb complexity so customers don’t have to. Whether your customer is external or internal, you focus on delivering experiences that are clear, fast, value-added, and outcome-driven. You don’t say “not my job.” You make things work.
Today, Not Tomorrow: You have a bias to action. You close the loop. You take extreme ownership. You understand that speed compounds, and you don’t confuse activity with results.
Seek Truth: You think from first principles. You value data over ego and strong opinions loosely held. You’re willing to challenge assumptions, including your own, in pursuit of the best answer.
Made of Rubber: You are resolute and adaptable. When things break or priorities shift, you rebound stronger. You treat setbacks as learning moments and move forward with grit.
One Formic: You operate without silos. You practice radical helpfulness, document clearly, and make clean handoffs. You assume positive intent and prioritize team success over individual credit.
Equal Opportunity Employment:
Formic is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or religious creed, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, marital status, family or parental status, disability, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by law. All employment decisions are based on a person’s merit, business needs, and role requirements. If you require further accommodations or have questions regarding accessibility of our roles, please reach out to [email protected].
