Job description
RoleReporting directly to the Chiefmercial Officer, the Controller owns the day-to-day accounting operations of the business and keeps our financial reporting accurate, timely, and year-end ready. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes to get into the detail: you’ll run the full accounting cycle, lead a small accounting team, partner closely with our leadership team and external accountants, and help us maintain a disciplined and reliable financial foundation as the business continues to evolve.Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead, develop, and grow a collaborative, positive, and performance-driven accounting team by setting priorities, reviewing work, and coaching team members as they take on more.
  • Own the full accounting cycle — accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, fixed assets, and job/cost accounting.
  • Oversee project accounting, including WIP reporting, job-cost analysis, holdbacks, progress billings, revenue recognition and project profitability reporting.
  • Lead a clean, well-documented month-end close and prepare accurate, timely monthly financial statements and management reports, keeping the books year-end ready.
  • Prepare and file monthly HST, and coordinate year-end working papers and corporate tax filings with our external accountants.
  • Maintain and strengthen documented accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to safeguardpany assets, ensure transactions are recorded accurately and on time, and support appropriate cross-training across the accounting team.
  • Lead the annual budgeting process, maintain rolling cash-flow and financial forecasts, monitor performance against plan, andmunicate material variances and emerging risks to ownership.
  • Oversee the financial accuracy and reconciliation of payroll, partnering with HR on employee information, benefits, and payroll administration.
  • Provide financial oversight and analysis relating to corporate insurance and fleet expenditures.
  • Provide practical, clear financial analysis to support ownership in evaluating project performance, pricing, purchasing and other business decisions.
  • Lead the finance workstream for the implementation and ongoing optimization of Premier, partnering with Operations and other stakeholders to strengthen reporting, controls, and adoption.
  • Take on additional accounting duties as the business needs them.
You are perfect for this role because you have:
  • 5-7 years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful experience in general contracting or construction management and prior responsibility for full-cycle accounting, month-end close, and project accounting.
  • Post-secondary education in Accounting or Finance.
  • A CPA designation is strongly preferred. Candidates without a designation may be considered where they bring substantial hands-on Controller level experience in the construction industry
  • Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring and reviewing the work of accounting staff.
  • Strong Excel skills andfort across the Microsoft Office suite.
  • Experience with construction or accounting software such as Premier, Procore, Jonas, CMiC, or Sage is an asset.
  • A clearmunicator who can translate financial information into practical business insights for ownership and operational leaders.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under deadlines.
  • A self-starter with a collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude who thrives on a small, high-energy team.
