Accounting Controller / Sr. Accountant

Accounting Controller / Sr. Accountant

Location & Work Arrangement: Seeking folks specifically in South America / Philippines

Company Overview

At Infinity, we partner with world-class builders to turn contrarian ideas into enduring companies.

We’re not an incubator. We’re not a VC fund. We’re a holding company designed from the ground up to identify overlooked opportunities, pair them with unfair advantages (distribution, data, infrastructure, capital), and recruit exceptional founders to build generational businesses around them.

We’re assembling a cohort of founders who are ready to go deep—on hard problems, in weird markets, with the patience and clarity to build things that last.
