Job description

Founded in Toronto Canada in 1996, Combined Metal Industries (CMI) has quickly grown into a successful full‑service metal recycling corporation servicing a strong core customer base in Canada with a presence in all Ferrous and Non‑Ferrous markets across North America. As a leading partner to the Canadian manufacturing industry, CMI is transforming the Canadian marketplace with best environmental and quality management practices in all our processes and facilities.

From a culture perspective, we do things a bit differently. There is no old‑fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work as self‑sufficient, autonomous teams that solve the problems. You will get tons of guidance and support from talented, super‑smart colleagues all over CMI. Powered by passionate people, we bring together the right teams with the right skills – offering experience and expertise to employees so they can operate their day‑to‑day confidently and successfully.

In this role the successful candidate will oversee all aspects of financial management, reporting, and controls. The ideal candidate brings a strong audit background, proven leadership in private‑company environments, and a disciplined approach to building financial systems and processes. This role ensures financial accuracy, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency across the organization. You will also lead and develop a team of accounting professionals, fostering a culture of accountability, precision and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
  • Manage the general ledger, consolidations, and financial close process to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis, providing actionable insights to management.
  • Develop and maintain internal reporting dashboards for key performance metrics and financial health indicators.

Audit, Compliance & Controls

  • Design, implement, and maintain robust internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure SOX‑readiness (if applicable).
  • Serve as the primary liaison with external auditors, tax advisors, and financial institutions.
  • Lead all aspects of audit readiness, documentation, and issue resolution, drawing on strong technical accounting and audit experience.
  • Ensure compliance with accounting standards, tax filings, and regulatory requirements.
  • Supervise and develop the accounting team, promoting accountability, precision, and professional growth.
  • Communicate financial performance and risk insights clearly to senior management.
  • Partner with cross functional leaders on strategic financial initiatives, including acquisitions, integrations, and financing.
  • Qualifications

  • CPA designation required; public accounting experience (Big 4 or mid‑tier firm) strongly preferred.
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in accounting or audit, including at least 3+ years in a senior leadership role.
  • Deep understanding of GAAP, audit procedures, and internal controls.
  • Proven success in private company or private equity‑backed environments.
  • Experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, or SAP).
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with a proactive, hands‑on leadership style.
  • Preferred Attributes

  • Demonstrated ability to build processes from the ground up in high‑growth environments.
  • Ability to balance technical accounting precision with business‑minded pragmatism.
  • Experience supporting due diligence, M&A integration, or debt financing would be an asset.
  • Extensive experience and knowledge of all aspects of corporate accounting and financial management.
  • Knowledge of accounting principles, practices and applications.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to motivate teams to produce quality work within tight timeframes.
  • Strong judgement and decision‑making ability.
  • High level of critical and logical thinking, analysis, and / or reasoning.
  • Seniority level
