Controller, Treasury Track

Remitian helps accountants and their clients make tax payments in the United States and Canada. We are hiring a Controller to own our books, reconciliations and financial controls, and to grow into our Treasurer as payment volumes rise.

This is a hands‑on role for someone with 3 to 6 years of experience. Reporting to Nick Ryan, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, you will run the monthly close, keep client funds and company funds reconciled daily, and build the controls our banks and auditors expect.

You will not work alone. You will direct and review the work of our external tax advisor, our bookkeeper and our internal AP/AR analyst, and you will work with Compliance and Engineering on payment operations.

As you prove out the basics, you will take on treasury work: liquidity forecasting, bank relationships and payment capacity planning. The title and scope grow with you.

The role is remote within Canada. You must have experience supporting accounting and financial reporting for a US business and understand the needs of a company operating in both Canada and the United States. Target start date: 1 February 2027. This role works extended hours during tax-payment peaks in January, April and September.
