Job description

Hugues Collective is pleased to present an exciting opportunity on behalf of our client.

Role : Controller

Reporting to : Chief Financial Officer

Our Client

PBN Construction is more than a construction company. Proudly Indigenous-owned, PBN has grown from a northern-focused operation into a diversified organization with a strong presence across Saskatchewan. From earthworks to building complex multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects, PBN is known for reliability, safety, and innovation.

Following a successful acquisition, PBN has grown by a factor of 3 in just two years. With growth comes new challenges : scaling systems, formalizing project controls, managing a large equipment fleet, and ensuring strong financial discipline. As part of this evolution, PBN is seeking a Controller to step into a well-established role, owning the day-to-day accounting and financial reporting as the incumbent Controller transitions into a broader position within the organization.

The Opportunity

This Controller role is for someone who genuinely likes being close to the work. You won’t be sitting above the numbers, you’re in them. You’ll be responsible for making sure the books are right, the close is solid, and the financial information is clean and dependable.

You’ll be working closely with a strategic CFO who is hands-on, supportive, and invested in helping this role succeed. You’ll own the core accounting work, support a small team, and build confidence in the Controller seat without being expected to have all the answers on day one. What matters is your technical strength, willingness to learn, ask questions and take responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

As the Controller, you will work collaboratively and are responsible for :

  • Own month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
  • Prepare accurate financial statements, schedules, and supporting documentation for CFO review.
  • Ensure financial information is complete, reliable, and delivered within established reporting timelines.

2. Core Accounting Operations

  • Maintain oversight of the general ledger, ensuring balance sheet integrity and accurate account coding.
  • Take a hands-on role in accounts payable and accounts receivable, including review, troubleshooting, and issue resolution.
  • Ensure GST, PST, and other statutory filings are completed accurately and on time.
  • Support audits and year-end processes through preparation of documentation and responses to auditor inquiries.
  • 3. Team Oversight & Technical Support

  • Provide day-to-day guidance, review, and technical support to accounting clerks (AP, AR, onboarding / admin).
  • Act as the escalation point for complex accounting issues and error resolution.
  • Support skill development through coaching, feedback, and knowledge-sharing.
  • Ensure consistency, discipline, and adherence to accounting processes across the team.
  • 4. Process Discipline & CFO Support

  • Maintain and follow established accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
  • Identify risks, gaps, or inconsistencies within accounting processes and elevate appropriately to the CFO.
  • Act as a key liaison between the operations team and the finance team, ensuring consistent communication, alignment on financial information, and shared understanding of project performance, costs, and timelines.
  • Support the CFO with ad hoc reporting, analysis, and special projects as required.
  • Qualifications

    As the Controller, you will possess the following qualities :

    The Essentials (Hard Skills) :

  • CPA designation (required), with 3–5 years of post-designation accounting experience.
  • Post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Strong technical accounting foundation, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
  • Experience owning or significantly contributing to month-end and quarter-end close processes.
  • Exposure to supervising, mentoring, or supporting junior accounting staff.
  • Proficiency with accounting systems and Excel; experience with QuickBooks Desktop is considered an asset.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities in a transaction-heavy environment.
  • The Intangibles (Soft Skills) :

  • Comfortable working deeply in the details while maintaining accuracy and consistency.
  • Practical and grounded approach, with the confidence to ask questions and seek clarity.
  • Able to work independently while maintaining clear, professional communication with the CFO and broader team.
  • Clear and thoughtful communicator who can explain accounting concepts to non-finance colleagues.
  • Willing to step in where needed and support the team during peak periods.
  • What Our Client Offers

  • Competitive Total Compensation – A strong base salary complemented by a management-level profit-sharing bonus program tied to company performance.
  • Comprehensive Benefits – A shared-cost health and dental plan, long-term disability coverage, and access to a flexible health spending account designed to support overall well-being.
  • Retirement Support – Eligibility to participate in the Corporate Office Pension Plan following completion of probation, with employer matching of regular earnings up to 4%.
  • Team-Oriented Work Environment – A respectful, collaborative workplace with a consistent in-office schedule, clear expectations, and long-term career stability within a growing organization.
