About the Role
We're looking for a hands‑on Financial Controller to own and scale our financial operations. This is a foundational role for someone who thrives in a growth environment, who wants to shape and optimize processes, contributing to the evolution of a growing structure, and takes pride in running a tight, well-organized finance function.
You will be responsible for the accuracy and integrity of our books, the timeliness of our close process, and the quality of our financial reporting — across multiple entities and geographies. You'll work closely with the Head of Finance & Operations and report into them directly. You will also manage one direct report, our internal AR coordinator, who handles client‑facing billing and collections.
This is not a strategic finance role. It's a builder role — for someone who wants to own a function, do the work, and set the foundation for a world‑class finance operation.
What You'll Do
- Accounting Operations
- Own day‑to‑day accounting across general ledger, AP/AR, payroll, billing and collections.
- Monitor outbound payment obligations and ensure funds are available when due, recording transactions through journal entries in NetSuite.
- Manage the month‑end and year‑end close process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and complete balance sheet reconciliations.
- Ensure accurate multi‑entity and multi‑currency accounting across Canada and the United States.
- Prepare and maintain monthly financial statements, management reports, cash flow analyses, and supporting schedules.
- Perform variance analysis and support forecasting in collaboration with the Head of Finance & Operations.
- Systems & Process
- Lead the implementation of NetSuite and manage the migration from QuickBooks Online.
- Establish and maintain accounting policies, internal controls, and scalable financial processes.
- Leverage third‑party tools and automation to improve efficiency and operational excellence.
- Revenue & Compliance
- Ensure accurate revenue recognition in line with SaaS subscription and contract structures.
- Coordinate with external accountants, auditors, and tax advisors across Canada and the US.
Who We're Looking For
- Experience
- 5+ years of experience in accounting or finance.
- Experience in SaaS, technology, or B2B services (strongly preferred).
- Exposure to startup or early‑stage companies (strong asset).
- Experience with automotive retail or dealership environments (a plus).
- Experience in multi currency and jurisdiction.
- CPA designation or in progress (valued asset).
- Technical Skills
- Strong understanding of SaaS financial models and subscription revenue.
- Experience with revenue recognition and contract‑based billing.
- Proficiency with NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar accounting systems.
- Strong Excel skills; comfortable with financial reporting and reconciliation.
- Language
- Comfortable working in English; French proficiency is a strong asset.
- Soft Skills
- Builder mindset: comfortable creating structure where none exists.
- Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and analytical.
- Hands‑on and proactive, with a bias toward action.
- Strong communicator who can work closely with a lean leadership team.
- Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a fast‑moving startup environment.
