About Bree
Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We operate in a huge but overlooked market. Our first act is becoming the cheapest and best provider of short-term credit to the 20 million people in Canada who live paycheck to paycheck.
More than 400,000 Canadians have already signed up with Bree and we believe we are just scratching the surface. We are in an exciting place where we have product-market fit, explosive growth, and a clear path to becoming one of the most important fintech companies in Canada.
We have 8-figures of annualized revenue, double-digit monthly growth, profitability, and had 0 voluntary employee churn. We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after.
About the Role
We’re hiring our first Controller to build a rock-solid accounting foundation and own the integrity of Bree’s financial statements. You’ll set up and automate end-to-end accounting processes, close the books fast and clean every month, and ready us for lender and audit scrutiny—while partnering with leadership on decision-critical insights.
What You’ll Own
- Build the General Ledger – design, implement and document accounting policies and internal controls
- Month-End Close – drive a 5-day close: reconcile cash, loans, funding lines, revenue, fees and reserves to the cent
- Regulatory & Investor Reporting – prepare lender packages; lead annual audit and tax filings
- Systems & Automations – partner with engineering to integrate transactional data streams and eliminate manual work
- Treasury Management – maintain A/R and A/P aging, and cash-flow forecasts
- Finance Ops Partnership – support operations/finance teams with timely actuals and variance explanations; refine the financial model as needed
What You’ll Bring
- CPA designation (required) with 4–8 years total experience, including public-practice audit or assurance
- Hands-on ownership of month-end close, controls and audit prep—ideally at a high-growth fintech or tech-enabled lender
- Command of accounting for consumer-lending products
- Fluency in Excel/Google Sheets; comfort digging into SQL or BI tools to validate data
- Obsession with accuracy, detail and process design—automating whenever possible
- Growth mindset, low ego, bias for action, and alignment with Bree’s core values of Customer Empathy, Ownership, and Results-Oriented
Preferred
- Experience scaling from Series A/B to >$100 M loan book
- Familiarity with Canadian financial-services regulation and tax
Salary Range: $110,000 - $150,000 + discretionary bonus
Benefits
- Top of the market compensation for top performers
- Premium health, dental & vision coverage
- $1,500 annual learning and WFH office setup stipend
- $1,000 annual wellness stipend
- $250 monthly lunch stipend
- Annual company retreats, unlimited PTO, parental leave
- If you’re an accounting nerd who loves building systems from scratch and wants to shape the financial backbone of a category-defining fintech, we’d love to meet you.
