Ensure compliance with federal and Ontario regulatory requirements and maintain strong internal controls.

Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning initiatives.

Drive continuous improvement across finance operations, systems, and workflows.

Act as a trusted partner to leadership by providing financial guidance, analysis, and operational support.

10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including significant experience in a Controller or senior finance leadership capacity.

Strong knowledge of Canadian GAAP, financial reporting, corporate tax, and regulatory compliance.

Experience working in a startup, high-growth, or entrepreneurial environment preferred.

Hands-on operator who is comfortable managing both strategic finance responsibilities and day-to-day accounting execution.

Strong systems and process orientation with experience improving financial infrastructure and controls.

Advanced proficiency with accounting software and Microsoft Excel.

Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.

Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with leadership and external stakeholders.

We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and enjoys building alongside a growing company. This role is ideal for a senior finance professional who wants meaningful ownership, direct impact, and the opportunity to help shape the financial foundation of a scaling business.
