Job Description

Our client is an exciting tech startup company with employees in various countries. The company has developed a unique product that will revolutionize the future of the medical industry. Poised for imminent growth, our client is looking to hire a Controller who will report to the CEO. This is an exciting opportunity with excellent upside potential and future career growth for the right candidate. Note that this position is 100% remote, however, the client will only consider candidates residing in the GTA who can attend in-person meetings on a regular basis.

To be considered for this role, you must be a CPA with US GAAP experience. You must have an entrepreneurial mindset and not be risk-averse. You must be willing to take on all the responsibilities of a Controller in a tech startup -- from approving payments and journal entries, budgeting, forecasting, approving the bookkeepers\' work and preparing monthly financial statements to preparing pro-forma financial statements and cash flow forecasts for potential investors and making presentations to the Board of Directors. You could be pitching to potential investors one day, and the next, reviewing the Trial Balance. This is a unique opportunity which blends the excitement and potential as the top Finance professional in a tech startup with the grind of day-to-day accounting in a small business. You also will be the one establishing policies and procedures and setting up structure within the Finance function.

This is a fluid and dynamic environment, and to be successful, you must be comfortable working in an unstructured environment without defined processes, and be willing to pitch in wherever necessary. No job or task will be beneath the Controller\'s responsibility. Experience in a multi-jurisdictional company with operations in different countries is an asset. CPA\'s who are currently Audit Managers with US GAAP clients currently working in public accounting firms are encouraged to apply.
