Controller

MatchBox Consulting Group is excited to be partnering with a well-established, national property management organization that is actively hiring a Controller to lead its client accounting function.

This role has been created following significant growth and recent acquisitions. The organization is seeking a proven people leader —someone who brings strong technical accounting expertise paired with the ability to lead teams, improve systems, and operate as a strategic partner to senior leadership.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership position responsible for overseeing client accounting operations across Canada within a complex, service-driven real estate environment. You will play a key role in shaping financial operations, supporting executive decision-making, and building a high-performing accounting team.

Candidates with real estate or property management accounting experience who enjoy leading through growth and change will find this role particularly compelling.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead national client accounting operations with accountability for accuracy, compliance, and timelines

Provide strategic financial insight and guidance to executive leadership

Oversee financial onboarding and offboarding of property portfolios

Drive process improvements, system optimization, and technology adoption

Build, mentor, and retain a high-performing accounting team

Act as a senior stakeholder for internal partners and external clients

What We’re Looking For

CPA designation (required)

7–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including senior-level leadership

Background in property management, real estate, or trust accounting

Experience operating in portfolio-based or multi-entity environments

Comfort working with ERP systems (Yardi experience is an asset)

Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Exposure to air space parcels, cost-share structures, or developer onboarding is an asset

Why Consider This Role

National leadership scope with executive visibility

Hybrid work model (not fully remote)

Opportunity to step into a leadership-critical role during a growth phase

Organization blending traditional real estate operations with modern, tech-enabled systems

Supportive, collaborative culture with an emphasis on accountability and development

MatchBox Consulting Group is proud to support this search and welcomes confidential conversations with experienced Controllers who are exploring their next leadership opportunity.
