Job description

Our client is a highly collaborative, long-established organization where people truly build their careers. Due to exciting North American growth, our client is adding a Controller to the Finance Team. Our client is known for its supportive culture and exceptionally long tenured team. Our client works onsite because the best ideas—not to mention the strongest relationships—happen when everyone is together.


Reporting to the Head of Finance, as the Controller, you’ll be a key contributor and strategic partner across the business. You’ll oversee costing, inventory, reporting, tax compliance, budgeting, forecasting, and project work, while helping elevate systems, processes, and financial insights. This is a hands-on role with strong succession potential for a career‑minded CPA who thrives in a collaborative environment.

  • Corporate tax compliance, provisions and planning
  • Prepare project reporting and monitor project costs versus budget
  • Pension plan accounting and reporting

Inventory Management & Additional Responsibilities

  • Manage annual physical inventory
  • Maintain and continuously improve computerized accounting/inventory control systems
  • Analyze and reconcile raw materials, WIP, and finished goods
  • Oversee cycle count processes
  • Manage inventory-related month‑end reporting

Standard Costing

  • Lead all standard costing and Bill of Materials updates within the ERP system
  • Analyze cost‑saving opportunities and recommend improvements
  • Partner with senior leadership to deliver high-quality analysis supporting planning and operational decisions
  • Update standard costs as required

Why Join?

  • Onsite teamwork and mentorship—work closely with experienced leaders who want you to succeed
  • Long-tenured staff—a supportive culture with deep knowledge and low turnover
  • Career growth—meaningful opportunities to develop into future leadership roles
  • Impactful work—your insights and recommendations directly support operations and strategic decision-making
  • Stability & reputation—join a well-established organization committed to excellence
  • Strong compensation package--competitive salary, bonus, company pension plan, company-paid health benefits

What You Bring


Education & Designation

  • Post-secondary degree in Accounting, Commerce or Business
  • CPA designation

Experience

  • 7+ years of relevant experience in a manufacturing environment

Skills & Competencies

  • Strong analytical mindset with advanced Excel proficiency (data modeling, manipulation, and analysis)
  • Solid understanding of ERP systems and willingness to support ongoing improvement
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage confidential information with professionalism
  • Strong communication skills and a service-oriented mindset
  • Comfortable working onsite in a collaborative environment and taking on new challenges
