About GAM Tech
GAM Tech is a security-first managed IT services provider. We started in Calgary in 2012 and now run teams across nine Canadian cities, looking after small and mid-sized businesses that depend on us to keep their technology working and their data safe. We are SOC2 certified and a Certified B Corporation, and we have been recognized on Canada's Best Workplaces and Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures lists.
Our business runs on recurring revenue. Every contract we sign, every seat we add, and every hour we deliver either strengthens or erodes our margin. That makes finance a core operating function here, not a back office.
Compensation
On-target earnings of $135,000 to $155,000 per year
Base salary of $120,000 to $140,000 depending on experience and CPA depth
Plus a performance incentive of 10% to 12% of base, tied to company profitability and financial milestones
Plus health and dental benefits, and paid professional development, including CPA dues
The Opportunity
We are hiring our first true Controller. Today, our finance function is functional but not strategic; the numbers get produced, the year-end gets filed, and nobody is turning any of it into better decisions. That is the gap you close.
You will own the full accounting cycle for a multi-entity, multi-province group, and you will be the person the leadership team turns to when we need to know whether a service line actually makes money, what a pricing change does to margin, or whether an acquisition is worth doing.
This role is built with room above it. As our group of companies grows, we expect finance leadership to grow with it,
and we would rather promote the person who already knows our numbers cold than hire a stranger into that seat later. We will be direct about that path with you during the interview process.
What You'll Do
Financial Ownership and Reporting
-
- Own the full accounting cycle across multiple entities and provinces, including month end close, reconciliations, and consolidated reporting.
- Produce monthly financial statements and management reporting that leadership actually uses to make decisions.
- Lead year-end end-to-end, including working papers, and coordinate directly with our external accountants.
- Own the general ledger, chart of accounts, and accounting policy under ASPE.
- Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, collections, and the vendor payment cycle.
Recurring Revenue and Profitability
-
- Own recurring revenue reporting. Monthly recurring revenue, contract value, churn, expansion, and per-seat economics, reported in a way that shows where the business is actually going.
- Build and maintain gross margin reporting by service line, by contract, and by client, and tell us plainly which ones are underwater.
- Analyze labour utilization and cost to serve, and connect delivery cost to contract profitability.
- Support pricing decisions with real numbers, including renewal increases,
discount requests, and new service pricing.
- Track and report on EBITDA, working capital, and cash conversion, and flag the trend before it becomes a problem.
Planning and Strategy
-
- Build the annual budget and rolling forecast, and hold the business accountable to it.
- Own cash flow forecasting, banking relationships, and credit facilities.
- Model the financial impact of expansion into new cities and recent service lines.
- Support acquisition work, including financial due diligence, quality of earnings review, and post close integration of the acquired company's books.
Systems, Automation, and Reporting Infrastructure
-
- Take ownership of our finance technology stack and improve it; the accounting system, the professional services automation platform, billing, payroll, and expense management all need to talk to each other better than they do today.
- Replace manual reporting with automated reporting. We build internal automation and AI tooling here, and we expect our Controller to use it rather than rebuild the same spreadsheet every month.
- Bring new approaches to the table. If a process we have run for five years can be done better, we want to hear the argument, with the numbers behind it.
Controls, Compliance, and Payroll
-
- Maintain internal controls and financial processes that stand up to our SOC2 obligations and to external review.
- Oversee payroll across multiple provinces, working with our HR function.
- Manage GST, QST, provincial filings, corporate tax coordination, and all statutory remit
