Pipeline controller Jobs in Edmonton, AB

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
