As we scale, we're building out a finance function to match: rigorous, efficient, and built for the long term. We're looking for a Controller who takes pride in clean books, sharp processes, and being a trusted partner to the business.

- CPA designation required
- Deep understanding of ASPE and IFRS, and SaaS revenue recognition
- Understanding of billing platforms like Maxio and Stripe, payment gateways like Stripe and JPMC, and merchant accounts
- Own the closing process and don’t let deadline slip
- Comfortable building and improving processes from scratch, not just following ones that already exist
- Comfortable with AI and investigating and implementing AI-native processes and systems to optimize the business

- Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture
What We're Looking For

- Strong Google Sheets and Google Suite skills
Why Readymode?
- Profitable and growing: we're a bootstrapped SaaS scaleup that has built a strong business without outside funding, which means the work you do here actually matters
- Build something that lasts: we're early enough that you'll have a real hand in shaping how the accounting function runs
- Close partnership with leadership: direct access to the CFO and a collaborative relationship with the FP&A and Customer Support team
- Clarity and structure: we run on EOS (entrepreneurial operating system), clear priorities, defined accountability, and no ambiguity about what success looks like
- Talented team: work with driven people who value execution and results
- Competitive package: strong compensation, benefits from day 1, RRSP matching, and a learning budget to keep growing
