Job description
Our Client:
Join a fast-growing company that's redefining safety and operational excellence in one of Canada's most dynamic markets. This organization delivers specialized, tech-enabled services that protect communities, assets, and the people within them. With a strong foothold in the Greater Toronto Area and ambitious plans to scale, they operate at the intersection of service delivery, technology, and compliance - bringing structure, accountability, and innovation to an industry that demands both precision and trust. If you're a finance leader who wants to be part of something that's genuinely growing and where your impact will be felt across the entire organization, this is your opportunity.

The Role:
Our client is seeking a Controller to join their leadership team in a high-impact, hands-on role that reports directly to the CFO. This isn't a back-office position - it's a seat at the table. You'll own the full financial operations function, lead a team of accountants, and serve as a key partner to senior leadership across operations, sales, and HR. You'll be equally comfortable diving into the details of a month-end close and contributing to strategic conversations about how the business scales. If you bring a CPA designation, a history of building strong finance teams, and a bias toward improving how things get done, we'd love to tell you more.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee day-to-day financial operations and ensure accuracy across all balance sheet and income statement accounts
  • Manage multiple general ledgers to support detailed management reporting, including cost segmentation, payroll by business line, and inventory tracking
  • Lead timely month-end and year-end close processes
  • Collaborate with the CFO on accounting policy, operational strategy, and ASPE compliance
  • Partner with cross-functional leaders in operations, sales, and HR to align financial activity with business objectives
  • Mentor and develop a team of accountants, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Deliver strategic financial insights that support executive decision-making
  • Manage relationships with external auditors, banking partners, tax advisors, and other key stakeholders
  • Build and maintain robust internal controls to minimize risk and optimize operations
  • Support the implementation of CRM/ERP or other enterprise technology platforms, ensuring data integrity through the accounting function
  • Drive process improvements across the finance team and broader organization

Qualifications:
  • CPA designation required (CA, CMA, CGA, or CPA Canada)
  • +5 years' of progressive leadership experience with experience owning and creating SOP's/processes
  • Degree or diploma in finance, accounting, or a related field
  • Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial complexity into clear, actionable narratives
  • Strong business acumen and a track record of surfacing meaningful insights from financial data
  • Proactive, self-driven mindset with a demonstrated history of process improvement and value creation
  • High ethical standards and personal accountability in all aspects of financial reporting and compliance
  • Open to working on-site

What Our Client Has to Offer:
  • Competitive salary ranging from $100,000 - $140,000
  • Eligibility for a 20% discretionary bonus
  • Benefits + Wellness fund
  • A collaborative, values-driven culture with clear pathways for career advancement
  • A stable, growing organization with a strong client base and meaningful expansion plans
  • A forward-thinking environment that embraces technology, including AI tools

This posting is for an open vacancy currently available within our client's organization. Interested and qualified candidates please apply today. We would like to thank all applicants however only those under consideration will be contacted.

To be eligible for this role, you must be legally eligible to work in Canada.

Please note that we use AI tools as part of our recruitment process to enhance efficiency and improve candidate experience.
