Company Description UpSolv, formerly Polystyvert, is a Montreal-based clean technology company transforming thermoplastic recycling by enabling a circular economy. Using a unique patented dissolution process, UpSolv can recycle heavily contaminated plastic waste that is typically considered non-recyclable, producing exceptionally pure recycled raw material. This material can replace virgin plastics while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%. The company’s Canadian innovation is patented in more than 20 countries and already provides a sustainable alternative to virgin plastics for industries such as electronics, toys, packaging, and automotive.

Role Description The Controller is a full-time, hybrid role based in Greater Montreal, QC, with flexibility for part-time work from home. This role oversees day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger management, accounts payable and receivable, payroll coordination, and monthly, quarterly, and annual closing activities. The Controller prepares and analyzes financial statements, monitors cash flow, manages budgets and forecasts, and ensures compliance with accounting standards, tax regulations, and internal controls. This position collaborates closely with leadership to provide financial insights, supports audits, and contributes to financial modeling for growth initiatives and capital projects. The Controller also helps implement and optimize financial systems and processes to support UpSolv’s scaling operations in clean technology.

Qualifications

  • Strong financial accounting skills, including general ledger management, financial reporting, and period-end closing.
  • Experience in budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial analysis for decision support.
  • Knowledge of tax regulations, internal controls, audit processes, and compliance with relevant accounting standards (e.g., IFRS or ASPE).
  • Proficiency with accounting and ERP software, spreadsheets, and financial modeling tools.
  • Excellent organizational, analytical, and problem-solving abilities, with attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and senior leadership.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; a professional accounting designation (CPA or equivalent) is a strong asset.
  • Experience in manufacturing, clean technology, or industrial sectors is an advantage; comfort working in a growing, innovative environment.
  • Ability to work in a hybrid setup in Greater Montreal, QC, managing priorities independently while meeting deadlines.
  • Professional proficiency in French
