You will not be handed a perfectly documented process and told to maintain it. You will inherit some work that is messy, make it better, and then write it down so it stays better.\nYou will thrive here if you:\nHold yourself to a high standard for accuracy, and hit the close calendar anyway\nAre comfortable jumping into the details of a reconciliation one hour and redesigning the workflow around it the next\nHandle ambiguity by asking sharp questions, making a call, and moving forward\nTell leadership what the numbers say, not just what is easy to hear\nWant your work to be visible, measurable, and relied upon\nIf you prefer a narrow lane and a stable routine that never changes, this probably is not the right fit. If you want to build, own, and improve, you are in the right place.\nAbout Level\nGood enough isn’t.\nLevel Agency is an AI-powered performance marketing agency built for brands ready to shatter yesterday’s wins.\nWe help complex, high-consideration brands outperform their last result using AI, data science, creativity, and relentless iteration.\nWe specialize in markets where the stakes are high and the journeys are complex - education, B2B technology, financial services, healthcare, CPG, ecommerce, and more. Our work spans the full performance ecosystem: media planning & buying, performance creative, SEO & AI search, CRM & automation, and advanced analytics.\nIn 2025, Level acquired BAM Strategy - expanding our capabilities into digital experience, CRM strategy, personalization, and loyalty. The result is a fully integrated growth engine that connects acquisition to retention, media to lifecycle, and performance to long-term customer value.\nToday, our 250-person team operates fully remote across the U.S. and Canada, supporting 150+ ambitious brands.\nYour Role (and Impact)\nAs Assistant Controller, you will take ownership of day-to-day accounting execution so our Finance leadership has the room to focus on strategy. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will run the close, manage receivables and collections, oversee payables, and enforce expense compliance, turning inconsistent processes into clean, dependable ones.\nThis is a role for an experienced accountant who is equally comfortable in the details and in improving the systems around them.\nWhat you will do:\nLead and continuously improve the month-end close, ensuring financials close accurately and on schedule\nOwn accounts receivable and collections, managing routine activity and personally handling complex exceptions such as terminated accounts, disputes, and non-standard billing arrangements\nOversee accounts payable operations, including vendor onboarding, payment processing, and troubleshooting issues with AP platforms\nManage and enforce expense reporting compliance, ensuring proper coding and documentation for all corporate card and reimbursement activity\nPartner with the VP of Finance on cash flow forecasting and week-to-week cash management\nSupport the implementation and adoption of new finance systems, such as collections automation and expense management platforms\nDocument and standardize accounting processes to reduce manual work, rework, and errors\nMentor and support accounting staff, strengthening the team's day-to-day capacity and resilience\nRespond to ad hoc financial questions from leadership with accurate, well-supported analysis\nRequirements\nMust-Haves\nBachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field\n5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including month-end close and AR/AP management\nCPA or active CPA candidacy strongly preferred\nHands-on QuickBooks Online experience\nExperience with AP or collections platforms such as Tipalti and Bill.com/Bill Spend & Expense\nProficiency with Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides), including comfort building and maintaining cash forecasts in Sheets\nDemonstrated experience using AI tools, specifically Claude, to improve accounting or finance workflows (for example, automating reconciliations, drafting collections communications, analyzing variances, or building close checklists). Be prepared to share specific, real examples in your application and interview\nStrong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities when several deadlines land at once\nExcellent communication skills, with the ability to explain financial concepts clearly to non-finance stakeholders\nA process-improvement mindset: you fix an inefficient workflow rather than working around it\nNice-to-Haves\nHands-on NetSuite experience\nExperience in a marketing, advertising, or professional services agency\nExperience managing or mentoring accounting staff\nExperience leading or supporting finance system implementations\nAI Expectations\nAt Level, AI is part of how good work gets done, and in Finance that means using it to move faster and see more without lowering the bar on accuracy.\nWe expect you to:\nUse Claude regularly to improve real workflows, such as reconciliations, variance analysis, collections outreach, and close checklists\nExperiment thoughtfully, share what works, and help the team adopt better ways of working\nReview and validate every AI-assisted output. AI supports your judgment. It does not replace it, and you remain accountable for the numbers\nProtect sensitive financial and client data in how you use any tool\nOur Core Values\nNo Ego, All InWe don't do \"that's not my job.\" We win together, step in where needed, and care more about the outcome than the org chart.\n\nBetter Every DayWe want the feedback, even when it stings. We test, learn, adapt, and keep raising the bar.\n\nRelentless for ResultsActivity is nothing without outcomes. We care about the work that moves the business forward.\n\nDriven by TruthWe challenge assumptions, follow the data, and tell clients what they need to hear, not just what is easy to say. \n\nBenefits\nPerks & Benefits\nAt Level, we support our people across the U.S. and Canada with benefits designed to promote flexibility, wellbeing, and long-term growth.\nFully remote across the U.S. & Canada, plus monthly WFH stipend and Summer Fridays\nGenerous time off, including unlimited PTO (U.S.), competitive vacation (Canada), and parental/family leave options\nComprehensive health benefits, mental health support, and company-paid disability & life coverage\nEmployer retirement contributions (401(k) in the U.S., RRSP match in Canada)\nQuarterly performance reviews and career advancement opportunities\nRemote First\nThis role is open to U.S. and Canada residents and is fully remote. Occasional travel may be required for company events and team working sessions. Occasional evening or weekend availability may be required around month-end close. We are unable to sponsor visas at this time.\nLevel Is Built on Inclusion\nWe celebrate what makes you, you. Level Agency provides reasonable accommodations to applicants with disabilities during the recruitment process. If you require an accommodation, please let us know during your application or interview process.\nReady to Apply?\nClick below to submit your resume. You’ll also answer a few thoughtful questions - take your time.\nWe care more about how you think than where you’ve worked.\nLet’s build something together.\nAI Hiring Disclaimer\nWe use AI-assisted tools to support parts of our hiring process, including resume screening and interview note-taking or summarization. These tools support, but do not replace, human judgment. All hiring decisions are made by Level's hiring team.\n_______________________________\nTélétravail - États-Unis & Canada | Temps plein\nRémunération :\n110K CAD (candidats basés au Canada)\n110K USD (candidats basés aux États-Unis)\nDescription\nNous recherchons un(e) contrôleur(se) adjoint(e) pour prendre en charge la mécanique comptable d'une agence de marketing de performance en pleine croissance : la clôture, le recouvrement, les comptes fournisseurs et les contrôles qui gardent le tout propre et fiable.\nSi, devant un processus incohérent, votre premier réflexe est de le corriger pour de bon plutôt que de le contourner, poursuivez votre lecture.\nCe poste n’est pas pour tout le monde.\nCe poste est concret et comporte une vraie autonomie.
