Controller

Join Our Team and Help Drive Our Success

At our Toyota dealerships, we believe our people are our greatest asset.
We're proud of the team and culture we've built—one based on integrity, collaboration, respect, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

The Controller is responsible for managing the accounting staff and ensuring all daily financial transactions for the accounting department are completed in a timely and accurate manner.

All aspects of payroll preparation including completion of benefit and monthly government filings are the responsibility of this position.

The Controller is an experienced, mature, “Driver” who is detailed, analytical and takes ownership of this key Management role in our automotive business.

This is more than an accounting position—it's an opportunity to be a trusted member of our leadership team and help shape the future of our businesses in Alberta and BC.
