The Role

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Financial Controller to take ownership of financial reporting, accounting operations, tax compliance, treasury and financial controls across our growing North American business.

This is a key leadership position within Finance, responsible for ensuring our financial records are accurate, compliant and available to support timely business decisions.

A major focus of this role will be transforming our traditional month-end close into a more automated, continuous close process, improving financial visibility and reducing manual work.

Reporting to the Director of Finance & Strategy, you will work closely with the Billing & Revenue Operations Manager and other teams to strengthen financial processes, support our US expansion and build a scalable finance function.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, challenges existing processes and takes full ownership of results.
