[Hiring] Financial Controller @inBeat Agency

Role Description

This is a full-time, fully remote role based anywhere in Canada (Ideally QC) and reports directly to the CFO.

We are looking for a Controller who can own accounting operations, payroll, and month-end close across a portfolio of Canadian and US entities. You will lead a small finance operations team of 7, run intercompany reconciliations across CAD and USD, and design a close process that actually closes on time.

This is a hands-on role. You will be in QuickBooks Online one hour and rebuilding the close calendar the next. The right person for this role is comfortable with both.

What you'll do

• Own the month-end close across all entities, with a target of business day 10
• Run payroll across Canadian and US entities, including all remittances, year-end filings, and platform administration (Deel and equivalent)
• Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations across CAD and USD
• Prepare monthly consolidated financial statements for the CFO and ownership
• Lead a small team of bookkeepers, AR/AP specialists, and payroll administration
• Manage GST/QST/HST, US sales tax, SR&ED, and corporate tax compliance alongside external accountants
• Build a finance operations playbook in Notion that the team can run on
• Support M&A and integration work as we scale

Qualifications

• CPA designation (Canadian)
• Fully bilingual in French and English, written and spoken
• Based in Canada
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years as Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accountant
• Direct experience in an agency, professional services, or media/marketing services environment
• Hands-on multi-entity payroll experience across Canadian and US jurisdictions
• Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
• Multi-entity, multi-currency accounting experience (CAD/USD)
• Solid grasp of Quebec and Canadian tax compliance (GST/QST, T2, T4/T4A, T5, RL-1)
• Working understanding of US tax compliance

Requirements

• You are a CPA who has run finance operations inside a real business, not just audited one from the outside.
• You know what a clean close looks like, because you have built one.
• You can read a P&L for a service business and tell us what to fix.
• You have worked across multiple entities and multiple currencies.
• You know Canadian payroll cold and you can hold your own on the US side.
• You write SOPs because they make your life easier, not because someone told you to.

Benefits

• Fully remote work from anywhere in Canada
• Competitive base salary and annual performance bonus
• Group benefits and unlimited PTO + Sick Pay
• Direct exposure to executive leadership, M&A activity, and integration work
• A growing finance team with clear paths to grow into
• Low bureaucracy. High ownership. You will not be waiting for permission to fix things
