Katz Coffee is seeking a Controller to help lead our finance function, support our growing operations, and build the systems, processes, and insights needed to scale sustainably.
This role is ideal for a detail-oriented accounting professional who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and is passionate about coffee, people, and building strong financial foundations.
As the leader of our small finance team, you’ll be a critical resource for our fast-growing company while doing a little bit of everything—from managing month-end close and maintaining balance sheet integrity to improving processes, supporting strategic decision making, and helping implement systems that allow the business to grow efficiently.

This is an exciting time to join our team, where your contributions will have a direct impact on the future of the company.
Growing exponentially since 2003, we’ve been honored to serve many of Texas’s highly acclaimed chefs, restaurants, and coffeehouse owners. Now shipping our liquid love all over the U.S., we specialize in small-batch, custom roasting, with a focus on sourcing the finest coffee beans from farmers around the world. Our ultimate goal is to achieve perfection in every cup—and in every financial report.
