Description

The Opportunity

Our client, a scaling international tech firm, is looking for a hands-on Financial Controller to lead their finance department. This is not a "desk-from-a-distance" leadership role. We need a high-integrity, technically elite accounting professional who takes pride in executing the day-to-day tactical work while providing the leadership maturity to own the department’s outcomes.

Core Responsibilities

Execute Full-Cycle Operations: You are the primary driver of the daily accounting function. You will personally manage and perform bank reconciliations, AP/AR entries, and payroll processing for both Canadian and U.S. entities using QuickBooks.
Lead the Month-End Close: You will own the entire close process from start to finish, ensuring the general ledger is accurate, journal entries are posted, and financial statements are produced with precision.
Unified Management Ownership: You will lead a small team by example. When communicating company-wide or departmental decisions, you lead with "we" and "I," taking full accountability for management's direction.
Cross-Border Tax & Compliance: You will be the internal subject matter expert for GST/HST and U.S. sales tax filings, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met in-house before coordinating with external auditors.
Financial Reporting & Analysis: Beyond the data entry, you will build and maintain Tableau dashboards and Excel models to provide leadership with clear, actionable visibility into the company’s performance.
What You Bring

A "Doer" Mentality: You find satisfaction in the precision of daily accounting tasks. You aren't looking to delegate the basics; you are looking to master them and ensure they are done right.
Managerial Courage: You possess the professional maturity to deliver and support leadership decisions with conviction. You are a bridge-builder who fosters trust between the staff and the CEO.
Technical Excellence: You are a CPA with 7+ years of experience. You are a power user of cloud-based accounting software and have a proven track record in cross-border (CDN/US) environments.
Communication: You can pivot seamlessly from a detailed technical reconciliation to a high-level strategic discussion with the executive team.

The Perks

Salary: $110,000 – $130,000
Benefits: A comprehensive benefits program is provided, featuring generous time off allowances.
Direct Impact: Your fingerprints will be on every aspect of the company’s financial health.
Stability & Growth: Join a stable, growing firm that values hard work, transparency, and a "get-it-done" attitude.
