Corporate Controller

Trulioo•Vancouver, BC

3d•CA$170,000 - CA$200,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Corporate Controller is a senior leadership hire and a critical partner to the CFO. This role owns the financial integrity of the business: the accounting infrastructure, the close process, the control environment, and the compliance posture across a dynamic, multi-entity, multi-national organization. You'll run the function with the discipline of a company preparing for a major liquidity event, while building at the pace and prioritization that a scaling business actually requires. This is not a maintenance role. The right person will build institutional-grade infrastructure on a thoughtful timeline, use AI and automation to run a lean and high-output team, and operate as a genuine business partner alongside FP&A and the CFO. Trulioo is at a stage where the accounting function needs to keep pace with strategic ambition. This will be a full-time, permanent position working out of the Vancouver office on a hybrid model (3 days per week in the office).
