Job description

Job Title : Bilingual Controller (Full-Time)

Location : Hybrid - East end - Ottawa, Ontario (with occasional travel to other branches across Canada)

Reports to : President / CFO (or equivalent senior leadership)

Salary : $100,000–$120,000 + bonus

About the Company

We are a leading distributor with multiple locations across Canada. With a strong focus on customer service, technical support, and strategic inventory management, we continue to grow while prioritizing quality, trust, and long-term relationships.

Position Summary

We are seeking a bilingual Controller to join a seasoned accounting team. This role is ideal for a solid, capable, and confident finance professional who is adaptable, team-oriented, and eager to learn the business. Our AP and AR teams are strong, and systems run smoothly — you will provide support, guidance, and strategic financial oversight while managing HR responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Reporting & Accounting

  • Lead full-cycle accounting (GL, month-end close, bank reconciliations).
  • Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
  • Oversee inventory accounting and costing in collaboration with operations.
  • Provide information and support to external auditors for year-end audits.

Budgeting & Forecasting

  • Develop annual budgets and rolling forecasts with department leaders.
  • Track performance against budgets and provide actionable variance analysis.
  • Support pricing, margin, and cost reviews tied to overall profitability.
  • Internal Controls & Compliance

  • Maintain and strengthen internal financial controls and procedures.
  • Ensure compliance with Canadian accounting standards, Revenue Québec, and tax requirements.
  • Cash & Treasury Management

  • Monitor cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships.
  • Oversee credit and collections policies as needed.
  • Support capital planning for equipment, facilities, or technology investments.
  • HR & People Management

  • Act as HR lead, overseeing payroll (through ADP), vacation tracking, RRSP / pension plan, and employee benefits.
  • Provide mentorship and support to AP / AR teams as needed — primarily as a sounding board, not heavy supervision.
  • Promote a collaborative and team-oriented environment.
  • Process Improvement & Leadership

  • Identify opportunities for process improvements and automation.
  • Partner with senior leadership on strategic initiatives and financial planning.
  • Support cross-functional projects while respecting the established, efficient accounting team.
  • Qualifications

  • Bilingual (French & English) — essential due to Québec business and Revenue Québec requirements.
  • CPA designation (or equivalent accounting designation in Canada).
  • 5–7 years of progressive accounting / finance experience, ideally in wholesale, distribution, or logistics.
  • Solid understanding of inventory-centric business models and cost accounting.
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with accounting and ERP systems (Infor CloudSuite Distribution preferred).
  • Team-oriented, adaptable, and collaborative approach.
  • Core Competencies

  • Strong business partnering and strategic thinking skills.
  • Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and integrity.
  • Process-minded, but flexible in approach to support an existing high-functioning team.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-branch distribution environment.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary + bonus, paid vacation, personal days, birthday off, and some paid holiday time.
  • Pension matching up to 3%.
  • Opportunity to influence growth and financial strategy across a national footprint.
  • Collaborative, service-focused environment with experienced industry professionals.
