About the role

  • Assistant Controller responsible for automating accounting functions at Hopper while overseeing external audits and technical accounting. A builder role aimed at improving financial operations through technology.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical accounting research and draft memos covering ASC 470 (convertible notes, warrants), ASC 606, ASC 842, stock‑based compensation, accounting for new products, and complex equity and financing transactions
  • Lead global external audit management for all entities, acting as the primary point of contact with external auditors
  • Design and implement the internal control framework and drive SOX readiness
  • Oversee GAAP quality and compliance of the monthly close, identify gaps and exceptions, and uphold high standards within the accounting operations team
  • Manage multi‑entity, multi‑currency consolidation, intercompany reconciliations, and transfer pricing compliance
  • Map data flows from the data warehouse to NetSuite, identify gaps, and partner with engineering to automate the close
  • Build and automate the reconciliation framework between management reporting and GAAP numbers
  • Deploy AI tools within the accounting function to eliminate manual tasks
  • Oversee accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and treasury operations teams

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience with demonstrated ability to operate at a management level
  • Active CPA designation
  • Public company experience — you’ve operated at scale and understand what a mature finance function looks like
  • Proven experience as the primary point of contact during external audits, not merely as a file preparer
  • Hands‑on experience drafting technical accounting memos on complex topics
  • Experience designing internal controls and SOX compliance
  • Experience designing systems and automating processes — you’ve built processes, not just maintained them
  • Automation-first mindset and genuine comfort with AI tools
  • SQL or data‑query skills — or a clear willingness to develop them so you can investigate data issues independently without relying on engineering
  • Experience with NetSuite (configuration, data architecture, or close automation) is a strong plus
  • Experience in travel, fintech, or marketplace platforms is a plus
  • Experience preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) is an asset
  • This role requires fluency in French and English

Benefits

  • Well‑funded, established startup with big ambitions — competitive salary and pre‑IPO equity participation
  • Hopper covers 100% of group benefits premiums
  • Life, short‑term and long‑term disability coverage
  • Health Spending Account (HSA) covering eligible medical and dental expenses
  • Access to Dialogue telemedicine services for all employees and their dependents, anytime and anywhere
  • RRSP with automatic pre‑tax contributions each paycheque
  • Very generous parental leave policy, well above industry norms — ask for details
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Carrot Cash travel allowance
  • On‑demand access to coworking spaces via FlexDesk and a remote work allowance
  • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing boundaries and taking risks is part of the day‑to‑day
  • Open communication with company management and senior leadership
