Do you want to be part of a business where work-life balance is real, and colleagues feel more like family than just coworkers? If so, this Corporate Controller role could be the perfect next step for you.

We are recruiting for a Corporate Controller with a high-growth, complex, private revenue company that has maintained a close-knit, collaborative culture despite its success.

Why this role?

– Genuine Work-Life Balance – Limited overtime, no weekends, and a hybrid in office/WFH model
– A True Team Culture – This is a company where people genuinely enjoy working together. They support each other, socialize outside of work, and have low turnover because people love being here
– Exciting Growth – The company is expanding annually, offering strong career progression.

What you’ll be responsible for:

– Financial Reporting & Analysis – Oversee month-end close, review financial statements, and ensure accuracy across multiple entities
– Operational & Strategic Finance – Work closely with operations, banking partners, and vendors on purchasing negotiations, cash flow management, and financial planning
– Team Leadership – Manage a team of seven, including designated professionals and junior accountants pursuing their CPA
– Process Improvement & Systems – Identify opportunities to enhance reporting, financial modeling, and business insights.

What You Need to Succeed:

– Chartered Accountant/CPA designation, qualified at a major public accounting firm with 6+ years of progressive experience, interest from more experienced candidates is encouraged
– Minimum 2 years of managerial experience leading an accounting team
– Strong financial reporting and month-end close experience
– Advanced Excel skills; experience with NetSuite or Sage 300 is an asset
– A passion for both financial leadership and operational involvement.
