About One Janitorial
One Janitorial is a commercial cleaning company operating across Canada with active US expansion. We manage roughly 700 clients and 180+ alliance partners through a 36-person fully remote team. We're scaling toward $11–12M in revenue in 2027.
We don't clean buildings ourselves. We sell commercial cleaning contracts to businesses — medical clinics, offices, retail, warehouses, restaurants — and match them to local cleaning alliances who do the work. Behind all of it is a finance function that has to be accurate, on time, and clean. That's where you come in.
We move fast and we run lean. Our books have to be right, our people have to be paid, and our receivables have to be collected — on time, every time.
