Financial Controller

Our Journey at Keep

At Keep, we embarked on a mission with a powerful question: Why hasn’t the banking experience caught up with the rapid pace of technology?

This continues to fuel our passion for reshaping the Canadian fintech landscape. We provide businesses with a comprehensive suite of cross-border banking services, offering everything from credit cards to deposit accounts, currency conversions, and revenue financing.

With a team of seasoned global startup veterans with successful exits, Keep is committed to leading the charge as Canada’s next-generation fintech institution. Backed by VCs in the fintech sector, we’re racing ahead, expanding our reach and impact like never before.

About the Role

Join us at Keep as a Controller, where your expertise in financial management and strategic oversight will be pivotal in driving our financial success. In this role, you’ll oversee our financial operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency, while shaping the financial strategies that support our rapid growth. Your deep understanding of financial processes will ensure our operations are robust and scalable as we continue to expand in the fast-paced fintech landscape.

Who We’re Looking For

• Strong leadership abilities, with experience mentoring and developing high-performing finance teams.

• Effective communicator, capable of conveying complex financial information to stakeholders at all levels.

• Meticulous in reviewing financial statements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards.

• Skilled in analyzing financial data, identifying trends, and making data-driven decisions to support the company’s growth.

• Adaptable and flexible, thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth environment while proactively seeking opportunities to improve processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee Financial Management: Manage budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and financial reporting to support the company’s growth objectives.

• Ensure Accurate Accounting and Reporting: Lead the preparation of financial statements, manage audits, and ensure compliance with accounting standards.

• Implement Internal Controls: Design and maintain robust internal control systems to safeguard company assets and improve financial processes.

• Lead and Mentor Finance Team: Foster a high-performance culture, mentoring the finance team and collaborating with cross-functional teams on strategic initiatives.

• Provide Financial Insights: Deliver data-driven financial analysis and recommendations to senior management, supporting business decisions and growth strategies.

Why You Should be Excited About This Role

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Canadian fintech by driving key financial strategies and initiatives that fuel our growth.

• Lead a high-impact function with visibility across the organization, working closely with senior leadership to influence strategic direction.

• Collaborate with diverse teams across the company, gaining a comprehensive view of our operations and contributing to the success of cross-functional initiatives.

• Be part of a dynamic, innovative environment that values continuous improvement and where your contributions will directly impact the way businesses utilize cross-border banking solutions.

• Join a passionate team that fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and professional growth, allowing you to continuously evolve and take on new challenges.

Why Join Keep?

• We’re obsessed with investing in data-driven solutions and cutting-edge technologies.

• Be a part of a team that’s rewriting the playbook for the Canadian fintech industry.

• Data is the fuel for our growth engine, and you’ll be in the driver’s seat shaping our data strategies.

• Embrace a fully inclusive and remote-friendly company culture that values diversity and work-life balance.

• Help us bring modern banking solutions to businesses, reshaping the banking experience for our customers.

Why This Might Not Be a Good Fit

• If you’re a stickler for a highly structured environment with constant hand-holding, you might find our culture of autonomy and trust a bit different.

• If you’re more of a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race kind of person, our fast-paced, dynamic environment might be a bit of a rollercoaster.

• Given the nature of our industry and our rapid growth, ambiguity and uncertainty are all part of the ride. If you prefer clear-cut structures or roles, you might find our dynamic environment a bit too adventurous.

• Collaboration is the heartbeat of Keep, and if you prefer to work in your own little bubble without engaging with the wider team, you might find our approach to teamwork a tad unconventional.
