Take a look at tactable.io to learn more about our work and what sets us apart. The Role: Financial Controller We're looking for a hands-on finance leader who enjoys building systems, creating structure, and helping leaders make smarter business decisions. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll own the financial operations of the business while acting as a strategic partner to the leadership team. You'll ensure our financial reporting is accurate, our cash flow is healthy, and our operational leaders have the insights they need to make confident decisions. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats. One day you might be reviewing month-end financials, the next you're refining our budgeting process, improving utilization reporting, negotiating with vendors, or helping leadership evaluate our next investment. As Tactable continues to grow, this role has the opportunity to evolve into a CFO position.

Strategic Seat at the Table You'll work directly with the CEO and executive team on the decisions that shape the future of the business. High Ownership This isn't a role where you'll simply report numbers—you'll influence them. Your work will directly impact hiring, investments, pricing, and company strategy. Growing Company We're scaling quickly, which means you'll have the opportunity to build systems that evolve with the business rather than inherit legacy bureaucracy. Flexibility with Structure We're a hybrid-first team with a strong appreciation for in-office collaboration, especially at our downtown Toronto HQ. We encourage in-person presence to foster stronger partnerships across leadership. Why This Might Not Be a Fit If you prefer highly specialized finance roles with narrow responsibilities If you thrive in large corporate environments with established processes rather than building new ones If you're uncomfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution If you prefer analyzing the business rather than partnering directly with leaders to improve it Compensation, Benefits & Perks Salary Range: $150,000 - $175,000 CAD, based on experience and role fit Performance-based bonus opportunity Comprehensive health and dental benefits Generous PTO and company holidays Hybrid work environment Professional development support Laptop and equipment provided Regular team events and social activities Hiring Process & Transparency This role is for an active position on our leadership team.
