The Opportunity

This is the operational core of our global Finance function. You will own the close, the consolidation, the audit, and the reporting rhythm that turn a growing portfolio of acquired software companies into a coherent whole.

Banyan acquires vertical software businesses and holds them permanently. We don’t buy to flip. We buy to grow. That permanence shapes how we build Finance: it rewards investment in process, systems, and people that compound over years. You will inherit a function in motion, healthy and growing, and set the trajectory for the next layer of operational maturity across HQ and the operating companies.

You will lead a team across Controllership, Global Payroll, and ERP & Reporting, partner closely with FP&A, Tax, and Treasury at HQ, and work directly with Finance Directors at the operating companies.

Why Banyan

• A permanent-hold model changes how Finance is built. Most controllership leaders inherit a function being optimized for a sale or transition. Here, you’re building for the long arc: maturing close, consolidation, and reporting practices that compound with every acquisition we add. The work you do this year is still relevant five years from now.
• Real scale, real complexity, real velocity. Many legal entities globally. A growing collection of vertical software businesses, each with its own data and accounting nuances, rolling up into one coherent group. Acquisitions flow through the close on a regular cadence.
• Direct partnership with the CFO. You’ll operate as a thought partner, not a back-office function. The CFO is looking for someone who can translate the numbers into narrative, surface implications, and bring discipline to how Finance shows up across the group.

What You Own

• The global close and consolidation cycle. Own the monthly close across HQ and operating companies under US GAAP. The current close runs about ten days; the working target is five. You will set the path to get there, holding integrity as the floor.
• The year-end audit. Manage the external audit relationship and deliver a cleanly run year-end. Coordinate audit asks across HQ and operating companies. Hold the function to a standard an auditor can lean into.
• Group-level technical accounting. Bring deep US GAAP fluency, particularly around software industry topics. Translate technical positions into practical, operational outcomes. Partner with the CFO on judgment calls that need an executive view. You understand the grey, not just the rule.
• Standardization across operating companies. Partner with OpCo Finance Directors to align chart of accounts, reporting packages, close timelines, and day-to-day accounting practice as we continue to migrate operating companies onto a common ERP environment. Bring coherence without flattening what makes each business work locally.
• Controllership, Payroll, ERP & Reporting, and AR / AP leadership. Lead a team of approximately ten, including a Director of Controllership, a Director of Global Payroll, and a Head of ERP & Reporting. Hire, develop, and stretch the team. Build a culture of delegation, ownership, and accountability so the function scales without you becoming the bottleneck.
• HQ Finance partnership. Work alongside the VP, FP&A on reporting infrastructure; with Tax on compliance cadence; and with Treasury on cash and FX support. Bring connective tissue.
• Systems and automation. NetSuite is the group ERP, with adjacent close-management, AP, and expense tooling in place. Identify and introduce automation, AI, and system enhancements that create efficiency as the portfolio scales.
• Acquisition integration. Integrate newly acquired operating companies into the close and reporting rhythm. Make onboarding repeatable.

Who You Are

• An experienced controllership leader. 12+ years of progressive controllership experience, including approximately 5+ years in a senior Controllership role.
• Public-company-grade reporting rigor. You've operated in an environment where audit, internal controls, and disclosure discipline are taken seriously. Whether at a public company, a PE-backed platform with audited GAAP financials, or a leveraged credit reporting to an institutional lender group. Public-company background is welcome.
• Multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction consolidation. Required. You've owned a consolidation across 100+ legal entities, many currencies, and multiple jurisdictions. You know what breaks first when an acquisition lands in the close, and you know how to fix it permanently.
• A Big 4 (or comparable firm) foundation. Required. Big 4, or a strong, reputable firm equivalent.
• Software industry experience. Required. Either in-industry or as a software-focused practice at a public-accounting firm.
• Hands-on NetSuite experience. Required. NetSuite is the group ERP. We need someone who has worked in it directly, not someone planning to learn it on the job.
• Strong on technical accounting, with commercial sense. Deep US GAAP applied to software industry topics. You navigate technical positions and audit requirements fluently, and you balance the technical view with what is practical and operational.
• An “altitude” leader. You move from the close-cycle detail to the implications conversation with the CFO without losing either. You tease out the “so what”: not just what the numbers say, but what they mean and what should change because of them.
• A team leader who empowers and trusts. You hire well, develop people, hold a high bar, and run a team without needing to be in the middle of every detail.
• Humble and collaborative. Ego doesn’t show up in the work. You partner across functions without elbows.
• Energized by execution. You drive things to done. You don’t wait for a perfect playbook before you move. The pace is real, and it’s a reason strong operators thrive here.
• Intellectually curious about AI and automation. You evaluate tools. You bring an early-adopter mindset, even if you haven’t yet led a transformation program. AI is helpful here, not critical.

Strongly Preferred

• Private equity-backed, holdco, or serial-acquirer environment.
• Track record leading or supporting Finance systems improvements: NetSuite migrations or expansions, close-management tool implementations, AI-enabled tooling.
• Acquisition integration experience: volume of integrations matters more than complexity of any single deal.
• Experience compressing a close cycle.
• Global team experience, including managing or partnering with offshore teams

Location & Compensation

• Location: Toronto, ON, Canada (hybrid - 3 days / week in-office)
• Travel: periodic (~10%)
• Compensation: CAD $200,000-$250,000 base salary, excluding annual bonus and equity (when applicable). Salary is based on a number of factors including market conditions, location and may vary depending on job-related skills and experience.

This position is for an active vacancy.

Benefits Manager (Global)
Toronto- Hybrid
Full time role

The Opportunity

Most benefits roles are about maintaining what exists. This one is about building something that doesn't exist yet: a global benefits function that serves both Banyan's HQ and Group programs directly while overseeing the PEOs and vendor partners that manage benefits across 100+ operating companies. We operate in multiple countries, acquire new businesses regularly, and need someone who can bring simplicity to the complexity and execute reliably at global scale.

Banyan Software acquires vertical market software companies and holds them permanently. We don't buy to flip. We buy to grow. That means our portfolio companies stick around, and so do our relationships with the people who work in them. On the HQ and Group side, you own benefits strategy and execution directly. On the operating company side, benefits are largely managed through PEOs and other vendor partners, and your job is to oversee those relationships, ensure a great employee experience, and bring coherence across the portfolio. You’ll lead a small team of Benefits Coordinators and partner with regional HRBPs to deliver programs locally. You’ll report to our General Counsel, which means you’re delivering programs on a solid foundation of governance, compliance, and risk management while ensuring they’re genuinely great programs for employees.

Why Banyan

• A permanent-hold model changes everything. You build relationships with the same portfolio companies year after year. You get to implement long-term benefits strategies that actually mature. You're not managing benefits as a transition item before resale: you're investing in sustainable, scalable systems that compound over time.
• Structure with flexibility. We deliver most operating company benefits through PEOs and other vendor partners, which gives us compliance consistency and scale. But there's room to flex programs to meet local OpCo needs. You'll shape how that balance works: enough structure to be efficient and compliant, enough flexibility to keep it relevant. You’ll build the frameworks, benchmarking standards, and vendor relationships that help each business run well in its local market.
• International benefits expertise actually matters. If you've worked through international benefit regulations, employment law, tax treatment, and the compliance landscape across regions like Europe and India, your expertise is immediately valuable. We have businesses across multiple geographies and you'll use that experience daily.

What You Own

• HQ and Group benefits program strategy and execution. You own program design, vendor relationships, compliance, and day-to-day administration for Banyan's HQ and Group population across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, India, and Pakistan. That includes health and welfare programs, retirement programs (401K in the U.S., pensions elsewhere), and everything in between. Hold vendors accountable. Anticipate and navigate regulatory change.
• Operating company coordination and support. Operating company benefits are largely delivered through PEOs and other vendor partners. You oversee those relationships, ensure program quality and a strong employee experience, and partner with regional HRBPs to make sure programs land well locally. When an OpCo has a unique need, you help figure out how to flex within the structure.
• Vendor and broker management. You negotiate and manage relationships with brokers, consultants, PEOs, and other vendor partners. Bring discipline and transparency. Use our scale to get better terms. 
• Team leadership. A small team of Benefits Coordinators handle regional administration, compliance, and vendor coordination. You hire them. You develop them. You hold them to a high bar.
• Global payroll partnership. Benefits and payroll are deeply connected. You partner closely with the global payroll team to ensure seamless delivery: deductions are accurate, enrollments flow through cleanly, and employees aren't caught in the gap between systems.
• M&A integration and due diligence. When we acquire a new company, you ensure a smooth onboarding experience for the acquired company's employees. Stay with it through the transition. 

Who You Are

• Genuine global benefits expertise. You've managed benefits in 6+ years of roles in global organizations. European market knowledge is required. You understand the differences in benefits regulation, tax treatment, and employee expectations across regions. India and Pakistan experience is a significant plus.
• Proven leader of distributed teams. You've hired, developed, and held accountable a team that doesn't work in your physical location. You communicate clearly across time zones. You set expectations and measure results. People want to work for you.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and speed. You don't need a perfect playbook before you move. You make smart decisions with incomplete information, iterate based on what you learn, and stay calm when priorities shift. This environment moves fast.
• Collaborative advisor. You influence without authority. You work well with HR, payroll, finance, and business leaders. You give people confidence that you understand their constraints and aren't going to surprise them.

We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the businesses and communities we serve. If this role excites you, we want to hear from you, even if your background doesn't match every detail above.

The expected base salary for this position is: [CAD $110,000 - $125,000] excluding annual bonus and equity (when applicable). Salary is based on a number of factors including market conditions, location and may vary depending on job-related skills and experience.
