ResQ is reinventing how commercial repair and maintenance works. We take care of everything that breaks inside a commercial location, from HVAC and refrigeration to plumbing, electrical and kitchen equipment, for restaurants and facilities teams across North America. In the traditional trades model, every breakdown and repeat visit is another invoice.
ResQ is the only trades company that prices around results, so we succeed when equipment stays running and problems get fixed the first time. Every job is backed by flat-rate pricing, a free second visit if a repair isn’t fixed, and the longest labor warranty in the category.
That model works because of the technology behind it. Our AI-powered platform builds a living record of every customer’s equipment, including its history, warranties and what’s likely to fail next, so we can prevent problems instead of just reacting to them. Intelligent dispatching sends the right technician to every job, connected sensors catch issues early, and customers get a direct line to their technician from the first call to the final invoice.
Joining ResQ means helping change how an entire industry works and bringing modern technology to the people who keep our world running
ResQ is looking for a Senior Finance Manager to take full ownership of the accounting function across our Canadian parent and U.This is a high-autonomy opportunity to own the numbers, make technical accounting and compliance decisions, and build the processes and infrastructure needed as ResQ continues to scale across North America.

We are a mission-driven team and have a big vision to revolutionize the service industry. While on that journey, we recognize that building a startup is very hard.
