Join an organization in marine services and logistics, where the finance function is directly connected to operations. You will take over from a long-standing controller, with a structured handover, and you will consolidate reporting, cash management, and controls to support management on a daily basis.

Responsibilities — full accounting cycle, cash management, and management advice

• Maintain the books in the ERP and oversee daily bookkeeping to ensure reliable and up-to-date data.
  
• Produce monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, then present clear analyses of results and variances to management.
  
• Manage entries, reconciliations, month-end processes, and the general ledger, and structure year-end documentation.
  
• Monitor cash flow (bank activity, financing needs, variances) and upgrade cash tracking tools and routines.
  
• Supervise accounts payable and receivable (invoicing, collections, payments) and strengthen controls around payments.
  
• Reconcile inventory to the general ledger and maintain records consistent with operational reality.
  
• Guide and review the work of the assistant controller, then formulate concrete financial recommendations to decision-makers.
  

Profile sought — essentials for a successful handover and quick delivery

• Have 5 years or more of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on experience in the full cycle, financial reporting, and month-end processes.
  
• Master an ERP and demonstrate an excellent level of proficiency in Excel.
  
• Have supervised accounts payable and accounts receivable, in a context where invoices are few but complex and distinct.
  
• Work comfortably in French and English, in a primarily English-speaking environment with government requirements in Quebec.
  
• Demonstrate autonomy, discretion, and practical judgment in a small team context.
  
• Communicate clearly with non-financial personnel and integrate with patience and diplomacy with decision-makers of varied styles.
  

Conditions — what is offered

• Offer a salary of $80,000 to $90,000.
  
• Work full-time, 100% on-site.
  
• Access to occasional remote work after integration and once trust is established.
  
• Benefit from a structured handover at the start, then targeted support as needed.
  
• Progress towards increased involvement in business decisions and improvement of controls, processes, and financial planning.
  

Assets — elements that set you apart

• Have experience with payroll and GST/QST remittances, or be able to supervise their management.
  
• Understand inventory and an environment in services, distribution, logistics, or marine.
  
• Present particularly strong French when two applications are otherwise equivalent.
  

If you enjoy concrete roles where the quality of numbers directly influences decisions, this handover offers a solid ground for you to establish yourself and build the future.
