SENIOR ACCOUNTANT / CONTROLLER

About Vitacore:
At Vitacore, we integrate cutting-edge research and technology with a profound commitment to sustainability and innovation. Established in 2020, Vitacore is driven by our mission to develop transformative products and services that address critical global issues, ensuring ethical practices and effective outcomes for the betterment of humankind and the planet. Our journey began with a focus on the healthcare sector, where we became leaders in manufacturing recycling single-use protective equipment. Today, we apply our expertise and innovative spirit to broader challenges, developing advanced technologies, sustainable practices, and innovative manufacturing processes that redefine what is possible across various industries.

As we continue to grow, we are building a strong team that thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about building great teams and supporting people at every stage of the employee lifecycle.

About the Role:
Vitacore is seeking a Controller or Senior Accountant for a hands-on, high-ownership role responsible for managing all aspects of accounting and financial reporting. This role will operate independently, partner closely with leadership, and take full responsibility for the day-to-day accounting function.

This is a full-cycle accounting role for someone who takes pride in getting the fundamentals right. You will own the accounting function end-to-end, from transaction-level detail through to financial reporting, and be accountable for accurate, well-run financials.

We are looking for someone who enjoys the work itself and is not above the details. This is not a purely strategic or oversight role – it requires someone comfortable rolling up their sleeves and managing the day-to-day.

At the same time, you’re naturally curious about the bigger picture. While this is first and foremost an accounting role, there is opportunity over time to get involved in financial planning, analysis, and broader business decision support for someone interested in growing in that direction.

Responsibilities include:
Accounting & Financial Reporting:
  • Own full-cycle accounting, including AP/AR, payroll oversight, general ledger, and month-end/year-end close.
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements with variance analysis and commentary.
  • Maintain and reconcile balance sheet accounts, including fixed assets and inventory.
  • Ensure accurate and timely tax filings and regulatory compliance (GST./HST, payroll, corporate tax support).
Manufacturing & Inventory Accounting:
  • Oversee inventory accounting, costing, and reconciliation in a manufacturing environment.
  • Partner with operations and supply chain teams to investigate variances and improve inventory accuracy.
  • Support standard costing, margin analysis, and production-related financial reporting.
Financial Planning & Analysis:
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning in collaboration with leadership.
  • Provide financial analysis to support decision-making, pricing considerations, and operational planning.
  • Develop and improve financial models, reporting tools, and dashboards as needed.
Programs, Grants & Commercial Support:
  • Support SR&ED claims, including tracking eligible costs, documentation, and coordination with external advisors.
  • Assist with financial inputs for RFPs, bids, and commercial proposals, including cost build-ups and margin analysis.
  • Support grant reporting, audits, and ad-hoc financial requests tied to innovation and R&D activity.
Systems, Controls & Process Improvement:
  • Maintain and improve accounting systems, internal controls, and financial processes.
  • Support system enhancements and potential ERP transitions as the business scales.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and increase efficiency.
Leadership & Collaboration:
  • Act as the primary finance and accounting contact for the business, reportin directly to the President.
  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, R&D, sales, and leadership teams.
  • Supervise and support accounting resources (internal or contracted) as required.

Skills and Qualifications:
  • Must have 6+ years of progressive experience in full-cycle accounting.
  • Experience operating at a Senior Accountant or Controller level in a small-to-mid-sized organisation.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing accounting and inventory management.
  • Experience supporting budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Exposure to SR&ED, RFP costing, or grant-supported environments is a strong asset.
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with QuickBooks or ERP systems preferred.
  • CPA designation completed or in progress is strongly preferred.
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain financial information to non-finance stakeholders.

Compensation:
  • From $80,000 to $105,000 CAD per annum.
  • Comprehensive medical and dental benefits.
  • 3 weeks vacation.
  • Tuition Assistance Program.
  • Multiple company events throughout the year.
