Job description

ABOUT US

We're a fast-growing group within Valsoft Corporation, working where payments meet AI. The group includes ValPay, TNRM, P&P and Sadie. Sadie is the #1 voice AI reservation platform in the world, with customers in Australia, Europe, the United States and Canada. ValPay is a payment facilitator (payfac). In plain terms, it lets other businesses accept and process payments through ValPay's own merchant infrastructure. That means they can start taking payments quickly, without setting up their own costly merchant account that can take a long time to get approved. ValPay is one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada. Our growth has been recognized on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50, and we've reached a turning point. We've outgrown a traditional startup finance function, and we're building what comes next: a leaner, more technical, more automated finance team designed for how a modern payments and AI business really works. We don't want to copy how larger, slower companies do finance.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role is a rare chance to help build a finance function where accounting and technology meet. Our finance setup dates from our startup days, and we're rebuilding it to match the pace and complexity of the business. As Senior Controller, you'll own revenue recognition and technical accounting across multiple entities. Just as important, you'll have real, hands‑on ownership of the automation and data work that more and more of our finance function runs on. This role is ideal for a CPA who's ready to grow beyond traditional accounting and specialize in accounting and technology together. You don't need deep AI or automation experience. What matters most is a strong accounting foundation and the drive to build that expertise.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own revenue recognition and every judgmental or complex accounting entry across all entities, including usage-based and payfac revenue under IFRS
• Review and approve accounting entries across the group
• Set technical accounting policy for the group, and make sure it's applied consistently across entities in different jurisdictions
• Own and keep improving the group's core processes and controls across multiple entities and currencies, and build scalable, well‑documented processes as we grow
• Lead the multi‑entity close and consolidation
• Take a hands‑on role in building the automation and data infrastructure that connects usage, billing and payment‑settlement data across the group. As the function matures, you'll have a real chance to build deep expertise in financial systems and data modeling.
• Build your skills with AI tools in day‑to‑day work such as journal entry review, reconciliation and reporting, with the goal of making them central to how you work
• Manage and review the work of the Controller and transactional support staff, bringing organization, structure and focus to a team we're building from the ground up
• Be the main escalation point for technical accounting questions, taking over this role from the CFO
• Work directly with our international tax specialist and external auditors on statutory filings, transfer pricing and audit requirements across our four entities

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• CPA designation (or equivalent international designation)
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of technical accounting
• Solid understanding of IFRS
• Experience closing and consolidating financials across multiple legal entities and/or jurisdictions
• Experience reviewing and managing the work of other accounting staff, either as a people leader or through strong review and mentoring
• Curiosity about data, systems and automation, and a drive to get fluent in them.
• Hands‑on experience with AI tools or data modeling is a plus, not a requirement.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. You'll work directly with the CFO, the auditors and, as the team grows, other finance staff. Comfort in a fast‑paced, high‑ownership startup environment that calls for significant hands‑on work

NICE TO HAVE

• Exposure to finance automation, RPA or AI‑assisted accounting tools
• Experience in payments or payment facilitation
• Experience in a Big 4 or national fir
• Experience in a multi‑entity, PE‑backed or acquisitive group
• French proficiency (our team is based in Montreal)

WHAT WE OFFER

• A clear growth path: you can specialize in accounting and technology as the function matures, working closely with the CFO along the way
• Cross‑border work: you'll work directly with an international tax specialist on cross‑border and transfer pricing matters
• A strong team: a close‑knit finance team inside a high‑growth company recognized on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50
• Real impact: a high‑ownership, in‑office culture where your technical and automation work directly shapes how finance scales
