Summary Generated by Built In

Positrace is an international GPS Tracking and Fleet Management SaaS provider  looking for a  hands-on Controller who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth technology environment where priorities evolve, processes are continuously improved. The incumbent should have a qualified CPA designation and will work closely with the CFO.

This isn't a role for someone who simply maintains the status quo. We're looking for a finance leader who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, building scalable processes, improving controls, leveraging automation, and partnering with the business to support growth. You'll have ownership over the day-to-day accounting operations while helping shape the future of our Finance function.

If you're highly organized, detail-oriented, naturally curious, and energized by solving operational challenges, we'd love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.
  • Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting, cash flow, and working capital.
  • Maintain and enhance internal controls while ensuring compliance with Canadian accounting standards, tax regulations, and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Coordinate external audits and manage relationships with auditors and regulatory authorities.
  • Drive process improvements by leveraging automation and technology to increase efficiency and reporting accuracy.
  • Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and strategic decision-making.
  • Develop meaningful financial reports, dashboards, and KPIs to support business performance.
  • Lead and mentor the accounting team while fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
  • Support the Finance function as the company scales through cross-functional projects, system implementations, and process optimization.

What We're Looking For

  • CPA designation (required).
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership responsibilities.
  • Experience in a SaaS, technology, or high-growth company strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of Canadian GAAP and financial reporting.
  • Familiarity with multi-entity or cross-border accounting (Canada, US, or Mexico).
  • Experience managing audits and regulatory compliance.
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience with modern ERP/accounting systems.
  • Comfortable working with evolving processes and shifting priorities.
  • Exceptional organizational skills and strong attention to detail.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively across departments.

Nice To Have

  • Experience implementing financial systems or automation tools.
  • Exposure to AI-powered accounting or workflow automation.

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you'll help us build a stronger, more scalable Finance function by:

  • Delivering accurate and timely financial reporting.
  • Strengthening financial controls and compliance.
  • Improving month-end close efficiency.
  • Identifying and implementing process improvements.
  • Creating meaningful financial visibility for business leaders.
  • Building scalable processes that support continued company growth.

Why Positrace?

You'll join a collaborative technology company where Finance is viewed as a strategic business partner—not just a reporting function. We value people who embrace change, and enjoy building better ways of working.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a measurable impact, influence business decisions, and help shape a growing organization, we'd love to hear from you.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $95,000–$110,000 CAD, based on experience.
  • Extended health and dental benefits.
  • PTO
  • Professional development support.
  • Collaborative, high-performing team environment.
  • Opportunity to help build and modernize the Finance function within a growing technology company.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement while remaining deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.

At PosiTrace, we value diversity and always treat all employees and job applicants based on merit, qualifications, competence, and talent. We do everything we can to ensure an inclusive and safe work environment.

We welcome all qualified applicants, prioritizing skill and character.
