Job description

Location : Remote (Canada-wide)

Language : English (required) & French (preferred)

WHO ARE WE?

We are a haircare / styling start‑up company with a lot to do, and we are looking for someone to join our amazing team. Our brand has over 213k followers online, an ecommerce platform and professional distribution across North America and internationally. At DESIGNME we want to make you feel better and bring out the best version of yourself. We believe that haircare should only contain high‑quality ingredients, should respect our beautiful planet and keep our furry friends safe; that’s why our entire product line is 100% cruelty‑free and contains none of the nasty stuff, like harmful sulfates, parabens or gluten. Last but not least, DESIGNME is proudly Canadian and based in Montreal.

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Controller to take full ownership of our financial operations and provide strategic guidance as an internal leader.

After a successful multi‑year partnership with our external accounting firm, UpCounting, who have helped build a strong financial foundation for our brand, DESIGNME’s continued growth requires us to bring this critical function in‑house.

We are seeking a strategic and hands‑on Controller to take the helm of our accounting operations. You will be responsible for internalizing our existing processes, optimizing them for the next stage of scale, and serving as a key strategic business partner to the CEO and leadership team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead all accounting operations : Take full ownership of core accounting functions, including Billing, A / R, A / P, GL, and revenue recognition.
  • Internalize & optimize processes : Work closely with UpCounting to seamlessly transition financial processes in‑house, refine, and enforce these systems, especially in our Procure‑to‑Pay workflow.
  • Master & leverage NetSuite : Take ownership of our NetSuite ERP, ensuring we use it to its full potential, driving automation, efficiency, and data integrity.
  • Deliver strategic insights : Prepare and present timely monthly financial statements. Go beyond reporting by providing leadership with analysis that connects numbers to operational performance and proactively identifies opportunities and risks.
  • Ensure compliance & manage cash : Oversee cash‑flow planning and manage all government tax and reporting requirements.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Holds a CPA designation.
  • Brings 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a high‑growth product‑based company (CPG, Beauty, or Retail).
  • Deep, demonstrated expertise in NetSuite is a firm requirement. Proven track record of not just using, but optimizing the system.
  • Is a systems‑thinker who can manage existing processes and strategically optimize them for scale.
  • Operates with a strong sense of ownership and autonomy.
  • Is an excellent communicator, able to translate financial data into actionable insights for the wider team.
  • ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Prior experience in hair / beauty or fashion is a plus. Prior experience in consumer goods (online), service industry, omni‑channel, or product brand industry is preferred.
  • Ability to replace and optimize outsourced finance operations.
  • Experience with NetSuite and both Canadian and U.S. financial operations.
  • WHY JOIN DESIGNME?

  • Lead the finance function of a growing, consumer‑focused e‑commerce (DTC) brand.
  • Replace and optimize outsourced finance operations to build internal capability.
  • Collaborate closely with executives and influence key strategic decisions.
  • Flexible, remote‑first work environment with exposure to entrepreneurial operations.
  • Seniority level : Mid‑Senior level | Employment type : Full‑time | Job function : Accounting / Auditing and Finance | Industries : Personal Care Product Manufacturing
