Who We Are

Mockingbird is a DTC-first baby gear brand known for understanding today’s parents, creating thoughtfully designed products, and providing above & beyond customer service. In a sea of old school baby brands, we’re proud to stand out, offering families not just better products but also a better overall experience.

Our flagship product is our Single-to-Double Stroller, an everyday stroller that offers unparalleled flexibility, and can be paired with our complimentary stroller accessories. After years of innovative design & engineering and in-depth consumer testing, we launched our second major product, the 2-in-1 High Chair, which rapidly became one of the most popular high chairs on the market. Our vision is for families to be able to rely on Mockingbird through parenting stages and milestones – from newborn to toddler to child, from first strolls to first food and more – a brand parents could never imagine living without.

While humility is in our team’s DNA, we feel extremely proud of how much parents and top baby gear experts alike praise our products. We’ve received over 10,000 5-star customer reviews, we’ve been honored with awards & recommendations from the likes of Wirecutter, Forbes, and Babylist, and we hear from Mockingbird families every day how much our products mean to them (we actually have a whole Slack channel that’s just screenshots like this, this, and this)!

As a team, we’re scrappy, independent, and entrepreneurial, while also being strategic, methodical, and highly collaborative. We’re extremely thoughtful, caring, and supportive of our customers, and perhaps even more so of each other. We’re thrilled with how far Mockingbird has already come, but we’re invigorated by the thought of how much room we still have to grow. And that's where you come in…

What You’d Be Doing

As we scale our team in pursuit of even more ambitious, exciting goals, we firmly believe that we need to make accounting a core specialty at Mockingbird. As a Controller, you'd be responsible for owning the end-to-end accounting process so we can make that a reality.

One of the key challenges of your role would be the need for you to seamlessly operate both as Mission Control and an Astronaut. If you'll excuse the cheesy analogy... what we mean is that you'll be working on building the processes and infrastructure to establish a best-in-class accounting organization, as well as rolling up your sleeves and managing our invoicing, monthly close, and financial compliance.

You’ll bring a thoughtful, first-principles approach to our current accounting process, in service of making it the absolute best it can be. In certain instances, that might mean validating and institutionalizing things we already do, and in others, it might mean breaking them down entirely and building back up as you see fit.

Specifically, here are a few of the things you’ll do:

• Own all aspects of our accounting operations, including accounts payable/receivable, general ledger maintenance, and monthly close process
• Implement and maintain strong internal controls and accounting policies to ensure accuracy and compliance
• Manage all financial reporting requirements including monthly financial statements and regulatory filings
• Lead the annual audit process and maintain relationships with external auditors
• Review and approve journal entries, reconciliations, and other accounting documents
• Oversee cash management and forecasting to ensure optimal working capital
• Partner with the broader Mockingbird team on budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Stay current on accounting pronouncements and ensure compliance with GAAP standards

What We’ll Be Looking For

• You earned your CPA and have worked in public accounting, developing a strong understanding of GAAP and audit procedures.
• You have industry experience and know how to expertly manage an accounting department.
• You have exceptional attention to detail and take pride in accuracy.
• You deeply understand how accounting insights drive business decisions and contribute to a company's success.
• You're passionate about professional financial reporting that builds internal and external confidence. You find satisfaction in delivering accurate, complete, and timely financial statements.
• You embrace continuous improvement, staying current with accounting best practices and building relationships with other accounting professionals to share knowledge.

We hold monthly company social events, optional monthly 1:1 coffee chats, and in-person company retreats.

• You’ll be empowered to truly make an impact on our business and on Mockingbird families. We’ve fostered a culture that promotes healthy debate and prioritization of the best ideas, rather than hierarchy and ego.
