We are looking for a driven candidate to build and lead the accounting function at a fast-growing, investor-backed SaaS company. You'll own the monthly close, lead our GAAP audits, and set the technical accounting positions that underpin reliable financial reporting. With multi-entity US and Canada operations and an existing team to mentor, this is a high-ownership role for someone who has been a controller at a growing SaaS company and wants to design the processes, systems, and controls that scale us toward $100M+ in revenue.
