Base is scaling a hardware‐plus‐energy business in real markets, and our accounting team builds the financial foundation that makes that scale possible. The team designs and runs the systems that turn manufacturing activity, customer contracts, and energy market participation into accurate, decision-ready financials—so leadership knows exactly where we’re making money, where we’re not, and how fast we can grow. This work directly shapes pricing, investment, and operational strategy, not after the fact but in real time as the company evolves.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
