Introducing Top Talent to Leading Organizations across Canada @ Humans of HR

Humans of HR is an upcoming boutique recruitment agency and is very quickly becoming the go-to agency for hiring and placement of skilled Professionals. Combined with our vast network and extraordinary customer-centric approach, we are the obvious choice in helping you find your next home.

Looking to step into a role where your eye for detail and strategic mindset won’t go unnoticed? Our client — a growing and well-run organization tucked away in the Fraser Valley — is searching for an Assistant Controller to join their finance team. This is an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work, collaborate across departments, and help steer the numbers behind the business.

The team is smart, grounded, and solutions-focused — and they’re looking for someone who’s not just good with spreadsheets, but also enjoys connecting the dots, building better processes, and growing alongside the company.

What You’ll Tackle:

• Take charge of month-end and year-end close activities — the kind that keep everything humming.
• Build out budgets, forecasts, and financial reports that help leaders make informed decisions.
• Work with the Controller and cross-functional teams to analyze results and bring clarity to the numbers.
• Support audits and financial compliance with calm, confidence, and accuracy.
• Spot opportunities to make reporting sharper and processes more efficient — and bring them to life.
• Contribute to projects that stretch your thinking beyond the ledger — this is not just a behind-the-scenes role.

What You Bring:

• A CPA designation (or you’re nearly there) and 5 years of progressive experience in accounting/finance.
• Strong technical skills — especially in Excel — and familiarity with modern accounting systems.
• A balance of precision and pragmatism: you know when to dig in, and when to zoom out.
• The ability to explain financial information clearly to non-finance folks.
• A collaborative spirit and a natural curiosity about how things work (and how they could work better).

Why You’ll Like It Here:

• You’ll be trusted with real responsibility and supported by people who want you to succeed.
• It’s the kind of environment where initiative is noticed — and appreciated.
• You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: professional growth in a grounded setting, and a community-focused lifestyle in the Fraser Valley.

At Humans of HR, we support the development and growth of our candidates to reach their full potential. If you are thinking about your next career move and the above role is just the right fit, please send us your resume along with a cover letter in confidence and one of our consultants will be in touch for a confidential discussion.
