Controller, CPA

Location: Remote — Canada or U.S.

Overview

Valor Gold is seeking a Controller (or an experienced Senior Accountant looking to progress) to join our team. We are looking for a hands-on accounting professional who enjoys working in a growth-oriented environment and wants the opportunity to take ownership of a broad range of accounting and financial reporting functions.

The ideal candidate will hold a CPA designation (or equivalent) and have strong experience across financial reporting, month-end and quarter-end close, internal controls, payroll, cash management, and management reporting. Experience working with a public company, particularly in the mining or resource exploration sector, is an asset.

This role will initially be on a fractional basis, with the potential to transition into a full-time position as the Company grows. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and potentially grow into a Controller-level role over time.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Senior Accountant will handle a broad range of accounting and financial reporting activities and will play a significant role in supporting the Company’s accounting operations.

This is a hands-on position suited to someone who is comfortable working across the full accounting cycle and taking ownership of processes in a small-team environment.

· Manage the accounts payable process, including invoice coding and approval, payment processing, and vendor reconciliations.

· Process semi-monthly U.S. and Canadian payroll and review and code employee expense reports, ensuring appropriate taxes are recorded and remitted.

· Prepare monthly management reporting, including cash position, burn-rate analysis, and budget-to-actual variances for review by the CFO and Board.

· Manage cash flow forecasting and treasury activities, including bank account administration and inter company funding.

· Assist with budgets, forecasts, and financial models to support corporate planning and financing activities.

· Support the CFO with SEDAR continuous disclosure filings and coordinate with the transfer agent, legal counsel, and other external advisors as needed.

· Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts, including accurate allocation of costs across projects and cost centres.

· Assist with GST/HST, payroll remittances, and other tax compliance matters, including coordination with external tax advisors.

· Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, systems, reporting, and controls, including the effective use of QuickBooks and Expensify.
