[Hiring] Senior Director, Controller @Wrapbook

Role Description

Wrapbook is building the financial infrastructure of the project economy — and we're looking for a seasoned Controller to lead the accounting function through its next chapter. Reporting to the CFO, you will own and evolve the financial system of record for a complex, multi-product fintech platform spanning payroll, payments, and production accounting.

If you’re looking to maintain existing processes, this isn’t the role. If you want to rebuild and scale a modern accounting function, it is. We're in the middle of an AI-driven transformation of our accounting function, and we need a leader who is genuinely excited about what that means — someone who thinks in systems, partners with engineers to build custom financial tooling, and drives efficiency through technology as a first instinct, not an afterthought.

You bring the technical accounting depth to keep us GAAP-compliant and audit-ready, the leadership to develop a high-performing team, and the product mindset to help us build finance infrastructure that scales.

What You'll Do

• Own the integrity and consistency of financial data across accounting, billing, payroll, procurement, and analytics systems — ensuring financial data is accurate, usable, and trusted as the company’s source of truth
• Own the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close — driving a fast, predictable cadence while continuously improving quality and reducing manual effort
• Own the design and evolution of our financial systems architecture (GL, subledgers, workflows), partnering closely with Product and Engineering to build scalable, custom solutions
• Drive automation across accounting workflows — including close, reconciliations, and reporting — leveraging AI and modern tooling to reduce manual work and improve data reliability
• Lead audit readiness and maintain a strong internal controls environment, ensuring the company is consistently audit-ready as it scales
• Own technical accounting and policy development, ensuring GAAP compliance and consistency across the organization
• Deliver clear, decision-useful financial reporting and insights to leadership, enabling better and faster business decisions
• Act as a cross-functional leader, driving financial discipline across Product, Operations, and Go-to-Market teams
• Build and lead a high-performing, accountable accounting organization (~10 people), including hiring, developing, and structuring the team for scale
• Oversee tax compliance across federal, state, and local jurisdictions in the US and Canada

Qualifications

• Strong foundation (10+ years) in accounting and financial operations (CPA required), with experience in high-growth SaaS, fintech, or similarly complex environments
• High ownership and impact orientation - you see finance as a core business enabler, not a support function
• Proven track record of building and scaling accounting functions with an operator mindset - you default to systems, automation, and leverage over manual processes
• Deep technical accounting expertise (including revenue recognition), with experience leading audit readiness activities and establishing controls in a fast-moving environment
• Experience designing and implementing scalable financial systems and workflows, ideally in partnership with Product and Engineering teams
• Hands-on experience using AI and automation tools (e.g., LLMs, workflow automation platforms, AI-forward ERPs) to improve accounting workflows - with a demonstrated ability to experiment, iterate, and drive real efficiency gains
• Track record of building high-performing, accountable teams with clear ownership and measurable outputs
• Clear, direct communicator who can translate complex financial concepts into insights for cross-functional partners and leadership
• Growth mindset and builder mentality — you’re energized by ambiguity, continuously look for better ways of operating, and actively raise the bar as the company scales

Benefits

• Unlimited Paid Time Off
• Work from anywhere in Canada and USA
• Health and Dental benefits
• Up to $1,500 USD/ $2,025 CAD towards IT set up for your home
• Up to 2% matching RRSP / 401K
• Learning and Development opportunities
• Up to $50 USD/ $67.50 CAD towards Internet/Cell phone service
