The Senior AR Controller will play a critical role in safeguarding cash flow, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in invoicing, and maintaining strong customer relationships.

This is a hands‑on position that requires close collaboration with project and operations teams to validate billing inputs, drive collections, and resolve discrepancies with precision.

The successful candidate will leverage their Sage Intacct expertise to create, review, and automate AR processes, deliver meaningful reports and dashboards, and ensure compliance with IFRS and internal controls.

With responsibility spanning invoicing, reconciliations, collections, and audit‑ready reporting, you will be central to maintaining operational efficiency and financial accuracy across Tyde Co U's global services environment.

This position will report to the Interim Global Director of Finance.
