Job Details

Description

Devoted Studios is a production management company for external development in the video games industry. With a mission to create equal opportunity for all talent globally to work on the games of their dreams, Devoted Studios aims to decentralize game development. We partner with 1400+ programmers, artists, and designers, from freelancers to small studios, all over the world, and not only match them to project opportunities but manage the production from A-Z.

As we scale, our Finance Department is evolving to meet the needs of our fast-paced, international game development business model. This is a rare opportunity for a technically sharp, systems-savvy finance leader to take ownership of our accounting and reporting infrastructure, drive the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and help lay the foundation for sustainable growth across multiple regions and entities.

You will be the company’s Senior Financial Leader and the internal product owner for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Your dual mandate is to:

  • Own the full global US GAAP (USA) and IFRS (Canada, EU) accounting, global tax, project-cost, and management-reporting cycle for a fast-growing technology services business.
  • Co-lead the roll-out, configuration, and continuous improvement of Dynamics 365 BC, ensuring every finance-relevant module is implemented, integrated, supported by the proper documentation, and used to best-practice standards by the internal team.

This includes both the financial controlling function and leading the implementation and maintenance of our ERP system (Dynamics 365 BC). You will lead the technical implementation and day-to-day operations of all finance modules - accounting and financial reporting, order-to-cash (A/R), procure-to-pay (A/P), banking, treasury, payroll, cost accounting, and related processes - while reporting directly to the Finance Director.

We’re a high-energy, entrepreneurial environment where things move quickly and every day brings new challenges. If you’re excited by the chance to build structure from the ground up, enjoy solving complex puzzles, and want to have a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you!

📍 Location:
Our ideal candidate is based in the Greater Toronto Area and open to a hybrid work model, with the ability to meet in person with our Finance Director a few days per week. We believe that regular face-to-face collaboration will be valuable for this role, especially during the implementation of key systems and processes. That said, we are also open to exceptional candidates across Canada who can work effectively in a remote setup.
