We're a fast-growing group within Valsoft Corporation, working where payments meet AI. The group includes ValPay, TNRM, P&P and Sadie. Sadie is the #1 voice AI reservation platform in the world, with customers in Australia, Europe, the United States and Canada. ValPay is a payment facilitator (payfac) that allows other businesses to accept and process payments through ValPay's own merchant infrastructure.

This role is a rare chance to help build a finance function where accounting and technology meet. As Senior Controller, you'll own revenue recognition and technical accounting across multiple entities. You'll also have hands-on ownership of the automation and data work that our finance function runs on.

This role is ideal for a CPA who's ready to grow beyond traditional accounting and specialize in accounting and technology together. You don't need deep AI or automation experience; what matters most is a strong accounting foundation and the drive to build that expertise.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own revenue recognition and every judgmental or complex accounting entry across all entities, including usage-based and payfac revenue under IFRS.
  • Review and approve accounting entries across the group.
  • Set technical accounting policy for the group, ensuring consistent application across entities in different jurisdictions.
  • Own and improve the group's core processes and controls across multiple entities and currencies, building scalable, well-documented processes as we grow.
  • Lead the multi-entity close and consolidation.
  • Take a hands-on role in building the automation and data infrastructure that connects usage, billing and payment-settlement data across the group.
  • Manage and review the work of the Controller and transactional support staff.
  • Be the main escalation point for technical accounting questions.
  • Work directly with our international tax specialist and external auditors on statutory filings, transfer pricing and audit requirements.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • CPA designation (or equivalent international designation).
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of technical accounting.
  • Solid understanding of IFRS.
  • Experience closing and consolidating financials across multiple legal entities and/or jurisdictions.
  • Experience reviewing and managing the work of other accounting staff.
  • Curiosity about data, systems and automation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort in a fast-paced, high-ownership startup environment.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Exposure to finance automation, RPA or AI-assisted accounting tools.
  • Experience in payments or payment facilitation.
  • An audit background at a Big 4 or national firm.
  • Experience in a multi-entity, PE-backed or acquisitive group.
  • French proficiency.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • A clear growth path: you can specialize in accounting and technology as the function matures.
  • Cross-border work: you'll work directly with an international tax specialist.
  • A strong team: a close-knit finance team inside a high-growth company.
  • Real impact: a high-ownership, in-office culture where your technical and automation work directly shapes how finance scales.
