Job description

Job description :

As Controller, you will own accounting and financial reporting for a multi-site Construction group and act as a hands-on finance leader who is visible, trusted, and engaged with the business.

This role is built for someone who enjoys being out in the operation , not just reviewing results after the fact.

Top 3 Reasons to Join 1) Youll Be a True Business Partner - Not a Back-Office Accountant

This role is built for someone who wants to be in the business , not reacting after the fact.

Youll work closely with operational leaders, spend time on-site, and influence decisions that impact real projects, real teams, and real infrastructure. Your work will be visible, valued, and used.

2) Leadership, Stability, and Long-Term Thinking

This is a privately held, multi-generational organization that values stability, relationships, and doing things properly.

Theres no quarterly earnings pressure, no constant restructuring, and no fire-drill culture. Leaders invest in people who want to grow, stay, and build credibility over time.

If youre looking for a place where strong performance leads to trust and opportunity ... this is it.

3) A Well-Rounded Total Rewards Package (Thats Often Missed in This Market)

Beyond a competitive base salary, this role includes :

  • 10% incentive bonus (clearly defined and achievable)
  • Employer-funded pension (6% after one year - no employee contribution required)
  • ~$11,000 annual car allowance , paid in cash
  • Day-1 health benefits
  • A realistic hybrid model after onboarding

Taken together, this is a material step up in overall value for the right candidate.

What Youll Be Responsible For Financial Leadership

  • Own monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting for the Construction group
  • Deliver clear variance analysis, risk identification, and actionable insights
  • Maintain accuracy and integrity of general and subsidiary ledgers
  • Prepare year-end working papers and support audited financial statements
  • Planning & Controls

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and planning processes
  • Strengthen and maintain internal controls
  • Ensure accurate construction data within the ERP environment
  • Operations Partnership

  • Build strong relationships with operational leaders
  • Spend time on-site understanding how the business runs
  • Participate in operational, financial, and leadership meetings
  • Act as a financial partner - not a desk-bound reviewer
  • Compliance

  • Prepare corporate tax filings and regulatory submissions (T5, T5018)
  • Complete annual contractor rating and regulatory reporting
  • Ensure compliance with applicable standards
  • People Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and develop two direct reports
  • Set expectations, provide feedback, and raise the quality bar
  • Be visible, approachable, and invested in your teams success
  • What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months

  • Operations trust you and bring you in early
  • Your team is confident, supported, and delivering strong work
  • You understand the construction business well enough to challenge assumptions
  • Reporting is accurate, timely, and decision-ready
  • Youre viewed as part of the leadership team, not just finance
  • Qualifications :

  • CPA designation
  • 7-10 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Proven people leadership experience
  • Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, analysis, reporting)
  • Comfort with driving, site visits, and monthly travel to Hanover
  • Valid Ontario G drivers licence
  • This is not a desk-only or remote-first role.
  • Assets (Nice to Have)

  • Construction or project-based accounting
  • Manufacturing or asset-intensive environments
  • ERP experience (Oracle an asset; training provided)
  • Industry background is less important than leadership mindset and comfort being in the field .
  • Why is This a Great Opportunity :

  • Base salary : $100,000 - $125,000
  • Annual incentive bonus : 10%
  • Employer-funded pension : 6% after one year
  • Car allowance : ~$11,000 annually (paid as cash)
  • Health benefits from Day 1
  • Paid volunteer days
  • Long-term stability in a privately held, multi-generational organization
  • Final Word

    This role is best suited for a CPA who :

  • Enjoys being close to the business
  • Is energized by people leadership
  • Is comfortable traveling as part of their role - Monthly visits to Hanover, ON office
  • Wants visibility, trust, and long-term stability
  • If youre looking for a highly remote, low-interaction role - this isnt it.

    If you want to be in the business , not just reporting on it - this could be an excellent fit.
