Controller

Controller

Readymode is a profitable, bootstrapped SaaS scaleup that has built a strong business without outside funding. 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.

• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness across all accounts
• Prepare and own internal financial statements and reporting packages for leadership and lead the annual audit process
• Manage all tax filings and compliance obligations across relevant jurisdictions in Canada and the US
• Oversee payroll processing and ensure accuracy, compliance, and timely submission across all pay runs
• Maintain and improve internal controls, policies, and accounting procedures
• Manage the payables and receivables process for the organization; track invoicing and billing for the Company
• Own the chart of accounts, general ledger, and reconciliation processes
• Lead the implementation of AI process into the finance and accounting functions
• Provide guidance and support to a part-time bookkeeper
• Collaborate closely with the FP&A Manager to ensure actuals are clean, well-documented, and ready for forecasting and analysis
• Identify and implement process improvements that reduce close cycle time and manual effort
• Support the CFO with banking relationships and ad hoc financial projects
  

Who You Are

• 5+ years in accounting or corporate finance, with meaningful experience in a SaaS or tech environment
• 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
• A natural collaborator who communicates clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture

What We're Looking For

• CPA designation 
• 5+ years in accounting, with SaaS experience strongly preferred
• Hands-on experience with both small and mid-market accounting/ERP platforms (e.g. Xero, Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar)
• Strong familiarity with multi-currency accounting and cross-border tax considerations
• 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
