Controller in Software Company - Parsippany, NJ

About BCS:

Business Credentialing Services (www.getBCS.com) is a fast-growing technology company in the supply chain risk management space. Our cloud-based compliance platform helps large Fortune 500 companies reduce their risk exposure by systematically verifying Vendors/Suppliers they do business with.

Founded 17 years ago, the company is backed by a Venture Capital firm that is committed to accelerate BCS’s growth. Today we have more than 60 employees and 2 locations (NJ and UT). We service our clients in countries around the world.

In 2017 we undertook to reinvent ourselves and double-down on our proprietary technology. We want to fundamentally disrupt the entire Vendor Compliance/Management space. Today BCS is attempting to build the marketplace of the future where Companies and pre-qualified Vendors can connect and do business together, in a safe & protected manner.

So, although BCS is well established, we act and feel much more like a tech start-up.
