Key skills for this role
As Finance Controller, you will own Rightsline’s complete financial operations cycle — from month-end close and financial reporting through audit management and compliance — ensuring the integrity of our financial reporting and supporting operational excellence. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, you will work closely with the CFO and Executive team, and engage with external auditors and regulatory bodies on compliance matters. This is a hybrid role based in Toronto.

Be Curious and Smart
Being smart isn't about having all the answers — it's about asking the right questions, seeking out new ideas, and never assuming you already know enough.
Embrace Change
This industry moves fast and so do we. We don't resist change — we lean into it. That means staying flexible, letting go of what isn't working, and treating uncertainty as opportunity rather than obstacle.
Show Up
Showing up means being present — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Your teammates count on you. Your customers count on you. We do our best work when everyone is fully engaged and accountable to each other.
Get it Done
Ideas are easy. Execution is the job. We hold ourselves to what we commit to, push through the hard parts, and measure success by our actual accomplishments.
Be Humble
Nobody here has a monopoly on good ideas. We listen more than we talk, share credit freely, and check our egos at the door. The best outcome matters more than whose idea it was.
