Job description

THE ROLE

STRIVE Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a successful and growing manufacturing organization in Abbotsford to recruit a Controller. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a key leadership opportunity for an experienced Controller who wants to make a meaningful impact across both the finance function and wider business operations.

This Controller role is ideal for a hands-on and commercially minded CPA who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment where finance plays a central role in driving performance, supporting decision-making, and improving processes. You will lead the accounting function while partnering closely with operations and senior leadership to help shape the future direction of the business.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a standout opportunity for a finance leader looking to step into a high-impact role reporting directly to the CFO, with the chance to influence both strategic direction and operational performance. The position offers broad exposure across finance, manufacturing operations, and systems within a stable, well-established business that continues to grow. It also provides the opportunity to build, mentor, and develop a high-performing team while making a meaningful impact across the organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Financial Leadership & Reporting

  • Lead all core accounting functions including AP, AR, payroll, and general ledger
  • Oversee month-end, year-end, and financial statement preparation
  • Deliver variance analysis and meaningful financial insights to leadership
  • Manage the external audit process and maintain strong internal controls

Manufacturing Finance & Commercial Support

  • Own cost accounting, inventory valuation, and margin analysis
  • Partner with operations to understand production drivers and improve profitability
  • Manage working capital, cash flow, and forecasting
  • Support investment and growth decisions through robust financial analysis

Planning, Forecasting & Systems Improvement

  • Lead annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes
  • Improve reporting, dashboards, and financial visibility
  • Act as finance lead for ERP enhancements and process improvements
  • Drive automation and continuous improvement initiatives

Leadership & Business Partnership

  • Lead, coach, and develop the finance team
  • Build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Collaborate closely with operations, supply chain, and executive leadership

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

  • CPA designation is required
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership experience
  • Background within manufacturing, distribution, or product-based environments
  • Strong expertise in cost accounting, inventory, budgeting, and financial reporting
  • ERP systems experience (Dynamics NAV / D365 preferred)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to partner across the business
  • A hands-on leadership style with both strategic and operational capability
