The Corporate Controller is a senior leadership hire and a critical partner to the CFO. This role owns the financial integrity of the business: the accounting infrastructure, the close process, the control environment, and the compliance posture across a dynamic, multi-entity, multi-national organization. You'll run the function with the discipline of a company preparing for a major liquidity event, while building at the pace and prioritization that a scaling business actually requires.
This is not a maintenance role. The right person will build institutional-grade infrastructure on a thoughtful timeline, use AI and automation to run a lean and high-output team, and operate as a genuine business partner alongside FP&A and the CFO. Trulioo is at a stage where the accounting function needs to keep pace with strategic ambition.
This role is expected to leverage AI and emerging technologies to improve productivity, enhance decision-making, and continuously optimize how work is performed.
This will be a full-time, permanent position working out of the Vancouver office on a hybrid model (3 days per week in the office).
General Accounting and Close Process
You'll own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close: accurate, on-time, and improving in efficiency over time. GL management, journal entries, reconciliations, and the full range of technical GAAP accounting that a sophisticated, pre-IPO business requires are foundational to this role. You'll also own the technical accounting policies that govern how the business handles complex areas — equity compensation, capitalized development costs, lease obligations, and others that will evolve as the business grows — and enforce their consistent application across the organization. Beyond the policies themselves, you'll shape the systems and process infrastructure that makes compliance repeatable and scalable.
Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Billing
You'll oversee AR, AP, and billing with a clear view to cash cycle performance. DSO, DPO, and billing accuracy are metrics you track, report on, and manage against. You understand that these functions directly affect liquidity and working capital, and you run them accordingly.
Payroll and Treasury
You'll own payroll operations across jurisdictions, coordinating with HR to ensure accuracy, compliance, and timely execution. On the treasury side, you'll maintain cash visibility, support cash forecasting in close partnership with FP&A, and manage banking relationships and operational cash management.
Tax
You'll oversee global tax compliance across the jurisdictions Trulioo operates in, working with external advisors as necessary. You'll stay ahead of obligations, minimize risk exposure, and build the internal capability needed as the business continues to expand its geographic footprint.
Multi-Entity Structure and Intercompany
Trulioo operates through a multi-entity corporate structure across multiple countries. You'll manage the intercompany framework, ensure consolidations are clean and well-controlled, and keep the legal entity structure properly maintained from an accounting and compliance standpoint.
Transfer Pricing
You'll own the transfer pricing framework, working with tax advisors to ensure Trulioo's intercompany arrangements are properly documented, defensible, and aligned with evolving international standards. As the business grows, you'll proactively assess where the framework needs to evolve.
Internal Controls and Compliance
You'll design and maintain a controls environment that is proportionate to the risk and complexity of the business today, and scalable to the expectations of a public company. You'll identify gaps, close them methodically, and build a roadmap that gets the organization audit-ready for a potential liquidity event on a five-year horizon. Not everything is day one, but everything is planned.
External Audit
You'll own the external audit relationship: managing the process, coordinating deliverables, and ensuring the audit is completed accurately and efficiently. You'll position the business to move from reviewed to audited financials if that transition is required, and eventually to the standard a public company demands.
FP&A Collaboration
The Corporate Controller and the VP of FP&A function as a unit. You'll ensure that actuals are clean, timely, and structured in a way that directly feeds the FP&A team's analysis and reporting. Variance analysis is only as good as the accounting underneath it. You'll close that loop.
Business Partnership and Metrics
You're not here to watch the scoreboard; you're here to help improve it. You'll track the operational and efficiency metrics that reflect accounting function performance, surface cash cycle insights that inform business decisions, and engage with commercial and operational leaders as a credible financial voice. The numbers you produce should create clarity, not just compliance.
M&A Accounting and Integration
You'll support corporate development activity with accounting diligence, purchase price allocation, and post-acquisition integration. You've done this before and understand that integration accounting is where deals either get clean or get complicated. You'll ensure it gets clean.
Audit Committee and Executive Communication
You'll own the Corporate Controller's relationship with the audit committee: preparing materials, presenting financial results and control environment updates, and fielding questions from a sophisticated board audience. This requires more than technical accuracy. You'll translate complex accounting positions, audit findings, and policy changes into clear, well-structured narratives that give the committee the context they need to govern effectively.
AI-First Accounting Function
You'll actively apply AI tools to accounting workflows: automating reconciliations, accelerating close, improving accuracy in high-volume processes, and reducing manual work across the team. This is not aspirational; it's an active expectation. You'll set the standard for how the team works and raise it over time.
Data Architecture and Systems
You'll own the data and systems layer that makes the accounting function analytically useful, not just compliant. That means a chart of accounts structured with intentionality: clean enough to close fast, and logical enough to support product-level and segment-level profitability analysis. You'll ensure transactional data flows are accurate, well-governed, and organized in ways that let FP&A, Rev Ops, and business leaders slice performance by the dimensions that matter. As Trulioo adds products, markets, and entities, you'll keep the underlying data architecture from becoming a liability.
People Leadership
You'll lead a talented accounting team with high standards and a genuine investment in their development. You'll build the team thoughtfully as the business scales, prioritizing talent density over headcount, and shaping the function into one that the organization relies on and respects.
