About the Opportunity

We are seeking a hands‑on Financial Controller to join a community-focused non‑profit organization with a strong financial foundation and a close‑knit team. This is a meaningful opportunity to support an organization with a people‑centred mission while leading the full accounting cycle in a highly visible finance role.

This is both a strategic and highly transactional role, ideal for someone who can move confidently between Board reporting, audit oversight, budgeting, and internal controls, while also rolling up their sleeves to complete the day‑to‑day accounting work themselves. Reporting to the General Manager and working closely with the Treasurer and Board, you will bring sound financial leadership, practical problem‑solving, and the willingness to contribute in a small office where everyone helps where needed.

What’s In It for You

You’ll step into a well‑managed finance function with a clean audit history, a planned transition period with the outgoing Controller, and the chance to make thoughtful recommendations for process, policy, and technology improvements. You’ll also be part of a supportive workplace with a 35‑hour work week, defined benefits, OMERS pension, health and wellness spending accounts, and a mission that directly supports the community.

Your Responsibilities

  • Manage the full accounting cycle, including deposits, payments, accounts payable, payroll entries, reconciliations, and monthly financial statements.
  • Prepare variance analysis, working papers, Board reporting, annual budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections for a budget of just over $9M.
  • Coordinate the annual external audit, typically beginning in February, and support reporting through to the AGM in May.
  • Maintain strong internal controls, review key reconciliations, support segregation of duties, and strengthen written accounting policies and procedures.
  • Oversee regulatory filings and reporting, including HST, WSIB, EHT, subsidy‑related reporting, and year‑end payroll requirements.
  • Assess current systems and processes, bringing forward practical recommendations for technology, accounting software, and workflow improvements.
  • Contribute wherever needed, from finance files and audit documentation to occasional front‑office support.

Skills and Qualifications

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting or financial management experience, ideally at the Assistant Controller, Finance Manager, or Controller level.
  • CPA designation is required.
  • Non‑profit accounting experience is paramount, with strong knowledge of ASNPO, GAAP, audit processes, and funder or regulatory reporting.
  • Strong experience running full accounting cycles, preparing financial statements, managing audits, and supporting Board‑level reporting.
  • Advanced Excel and financial analysis skills, with experience using or improving accounting systems, New Views experience is an asset.
  • Strong judgment, attention to detail, organization, and the ability to manage many moving parts independently.
  • A practical, collaborative mindset with the confidence to make recommendations and the willingness to support a small, all‑hands‑on‑deck team.
