About the role
Shape the future of the accounting & finance at a mission-driven and values-based company with a product that helps save lives. Remote-primary role, with preference for folks living in/near Greater Toronto Area. Join a growing organization where you'll modernize finance operations, lead a team through transformation, and partner closely with an experienced and impressive CFO to build a high-performance finance function. If you're a hands-on Controller who thrives on improving processes, leading change, and making a meaningful impact, this is an opportunity to leave your mark.
Who – The Company Our client is a Canadian health technology company dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes through innovative digital solutions that help clinicians make better decisions, improve patient care, and support healthcare systems across Canada, the US, and Internationally. This company is entering an exciting new chapter and is investing in sustainable operational excellence while staying true to its mission of improving access to quality healthcare.
What – The Role Reporting directly to the CFO, the Controller will serve as a trusted second-in-command for global accounting & finance operations, including financial reporting, cash management & treasury, operational accounting, audit, internal controls, tax, etc. Leading a small team of accounting professionals. This is a highly visible leadership role where you'll mentor and develop a team, streamline processes, strengthen financial operations, improve systems, and help build the finance function for the future.
Who – The Candidate On behalf of our client, SWIM is looking for a new Controller with at least 12 years of progressive and relevant work experience and a very well-rounded skillset. We are looking for candidates who enjoy rolling up their sleeves to solve problems, build scalable processes, and lead teams through change. Qualified folks for this role will be comfortable navigating complex IFRS accounting matters, managing ongoing change, and partnering with business leaders to improve performance. Ideally candidates will have experience with companies with active Canadian and US operations, and exposure to business operations elsewhere (Europe, Australasia, etc.) is a big perk. Post-acquisition integration experience is a significant asset. CPA designation highly preferred. Experience in technology and/or healthcare is highly preferred but not required for someone business savvy who is hungry to learn. The successful candidate for this role will be someone who is energized by opportunities to create lasting improvements rather than simply maintain the status quo. If you want to build a legacy with a mission-driven company that is doing very important work and be able to look back in a few years and say “Look how far we’ve come!” then this is a fantastic career opportunity for you. Work directly with an accomplished CFO who is committed to mentoring and developing his team. Make a tangible impact by transforming finance operations and helping build a stronger organization. Join a purpose-driven company whose products support healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes. Enjoy the flexibility of a primarily remote role while collaborating with colleagues across Canada and Internationally.
How Much Base salary commensurate with experience, qualifications, and skillset, likely in the ballpark of $130,000 to $155,000. Future opportunity for upside based on personal performance, team performance, and overall company performance. Please discuss your total compensation expectations in further detail with SWIM.
