Controller | Robotics & AI - REMOTE

Job description: * *Industry*: Adult products & Robotics, AI * *Location*: Fully Remote (Mountain / Pacific Time) * *Salary*: up to $130k base This is a genuinely rare opportunity: a fully remote controller role with direct access to a CFO, meaningful public company exposure at the ground level, and real ownership over building something from scratch. Our client operates two distinct businesses under one roof - a B2B robotics company targeting a Nasdaq listing, and a globally recognized adult products brand. Both are growing fast, both need better infrastructure, and neither has a bureaucratic layer between you and the decisions that matter. *If you are the type of accountant who sees a messy set of books and thinks 'I can fix this' rather than 'this is not my problem,' keep reading.* *THE COMPANY:* * TSXV-listed company with two operating divisions - enterprise robotics (targeting Nasdaq) and a globally distributed adult products business * Robotics division sells AI-powered, lifelike robots to education, healthcare, and research markets - with a patented vision system and a recurring subscription model alongside hardware * Adult products division is an established, consumer-facing brand expanding into software - a new female CEO is leading a brand and marketing refresh * Four US entities in scope - lean, high-growth, building toward institutional-grade infrastructure * Both businesses feel more like fast-moving startups than 20-year-old companies - because the opportunity still feels that wide open * Candidates must be comfortable with both sides of the business *RESPONSIBILITIES:* This role owns the day-to-day accounting function across all US entities and is being brought in with a clear mandate: build something that works. The books have historically been tax-oriented and lightly controlled. A QBO migration just completed. The outgoing accounting manager is being replaced. The person who steps into this seat will have an audience of one for day-to-day direction - the CFO and will collaborate with the Corporate Controller on technical matters. The growth path is real: as entities scale, this person hires beneath them and moves toward owning external financial reporting. * Own month-end close across four US entities - target under 5 business days * Maintain bookkeeping and reconciliations in QuickBooks Online (QBO Desktop access required for historicals) * Build payroll, expense, and inventory processes from the ground up * Establish financial controls and audit-ready procedures where almost none currently exist * Support Nasdaq listing preparation and ongoing TSXV reporting requirements * Serve as the internal escalation point for accounting problems that previously had no home * Be present and responsive on Teams - this is a remote team that runs on communication * Serve as an internal resource for problem escalation - identifying issues proactively and driving resolution independently Qualifications: * CPA designation is a nice-to-have, not a requirement - process discipline and communication matter more * 5 to 7 years in accounting with hands-on close ownership * QuickBooks Online proficiency required; QBO Desktop familiarity a genuine asset given the migration history * Has worked in a messy environment and fixed it - startup, high-growth, or founder-led company experience preferred * Audit awareness: knows what auditable looks like and can build toward it without hand-holding * Comfortable being the only accounting voice in the room - no internal consultant to escalate to * Exposure to public company reporting (TSXV, Nasdaq, or SEC) is a strong differentiator * West coast or Mountain time preferred - remote team runs on overlapping business hours * Genuinely comfortable with both the robotics and adult products sides of the business - this will come up in the first conversation * Not the type to reverse-delegate or say 'I've never done that before' and stop there * Communicates well in writing and on calls - the CFO wants someone to think out loud with, not someone who disappears and surfaces with answers Why is This a Great Opportunity: * *Direct line to the top.* CFO access, day one. * *Blank canvas.* No one is waiting at the door with a process manual. You define what good looks like. * *Public company exposure at this level is rare.* You will be inside a real Nasdaq listing process - not reading about it in a textbook * *You will understand what the company actually does.* The robotics business is building AI-interactive humanoids sold to universities, hospitals, and research labs. The work is interesting. * *Defined growth path.* As each entity grows, you build the team beneath you. The title grows with the function. * *100% remote.* No commute. * *Performance is taken seriously* *Salary Type *: Annual Salary *Salary Min *: CA$ 120000 *Salary Max *: CA$ 130000 *Currency Type *: CAD
