Job Description :

The Mason Group is excited to be partnering exclusively with a privately owned Canadian wholesale and distribution company that has been successfully operating since the 1970s. With a strong reputation and a highly tenured team — many employees have been there for 20–30 years — the company offers a level of stability that’s hard to find.

The culture is friendly, relaxed, and supportive, with a casual office environment, regular staff events, and a real respect for work-life balance. This is a five-day on-site role based in Coquitlam, perfect for someone who enjoys being part of a collaborative team and contributing in a steady, well-run organization.

This is a 16–17 month maternity leave coverage contract for an Assistant Controller who will play a key role in supporting the Financial Controller and overseeing day-to-day accounting operations. Leading a team of two AP Specialists, this position combines hands-on responsibilities with leadership, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both managing people and staying close to the numbers.

The Assistant Controller will be responsible for the month-end close process, full-cycle accounting, and the preparation and analysis of financial statements. You’ll also collaborate cross-functionally with other departments to support business needs and help keep financial operations running smoothly. This is a great opportunity to step into a high-impact role where you can quickly add value and gain strong operational exposure.
