Botpress Technologies Inc. • Montreal, QC

About The Position

As Financial Controller, you'll own the financial backbone of a company scaling fast. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you'll run our core accounting operations end-to-end while shaping the forecasts, board reporting, and financial systems that guide how we grow. Capital efficiency is core to how Botpress operates — this role exists to make sure our financial operations are as rigorous, automated, and AI-leveraged as the product we build.

Requirements

• CPA designation
• 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including 3+ years in a controller or senior accounting leadership role
• Bias toward automation — you'd rather build a system than repeat a task and you have a proven track record of that
• Experience at a high-growth SaaS or startup, with fluency in SaaS revenue recognition and metrics
• Hands-on FP&A experience: budgeting, forecasting, and board-level reporting
• Track record of building or upgrading financial systems, processes, and controls
• Detail-obsessed and deadline-driven, but comfortable with the ambiguity of a scaling startup

Nice To Haves

• Big 4 or audit background
• Experience with multi-entity or cross-border operations

Responsibilities

• Own the month-end and year-end close, delivering accurate and timely financial statements
• Manage day-to-day accounting operations: revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations
• Automate and streamline finance operations — we expect you to leverage AI tools aggressively
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small finance team (1–2 direct reports), fostering their professional growth and ensuring high-quality output
• Lead annual audits and ensure ongoing compliance with accounting standards
• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and cash flow models in partnership with the VP of Finance
• Prepare board and investor reporting, including SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, burn multiple)
• Design and implement financial systems, controls, and processes that scale with the business
• Partner with department leaders on spend management, headcount planning, and unit economics

Benefits

• 4 weeks of vacation
• Paid sick and parental leave
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, travel, and life insurance
• Funding for education and skills improvement
• Fully-stocked fridge and cupboard – we take snacks seriously
• Your own desk – no 'hot-desk'-style sign-up systems
• A vibrant office community
