Job description
The Regional Controller is a strategic finance business partner to the Regional Business Leader, providing the analytics, forecasting, and performance insight needed to drive profitable growth across approximately four Canadian entities. This role owns financial oversight of the region — accounting, reporting, budgeting, and controls — while acting as the primary bridge between the regional business and corporate finance. The Regional Controller partners closely with the Business Leader on income statement management, pricing and margin decisions, and working capital.

Salary Range: 120k-150k CAD

Responsibilities

Financial Oversight & Reporting
  • Own full financial oversight of the region, including month-end close for all BUs in accordance with GAAP, with full income statement and balance sheet responsibility.
  • Maintain strong internal controls; oversee fixed asset safeguarding/tracking, inventory control, obsolescence monitoring, and inventory turn analysis.
  • Ensure compliance with tax filings (Property, HST, GST, WSIB, etc.) and required regulatory reporting.
  • Lead and participate in internal and external audits as required.
Business Partnership & Analytics
  • Serve as the embedded finance partner to the Regional Business Leader/General Manager, providing timely analytics that inform day-to-day and strategic decision-making.
  • Deliver regular (daily/weekly) reporting of production, expense, and financial metrics; respond to ad hoc analysis requests from the Business Leader and other stakeholders.
  • Translate financial data into clear, actionable insight for non-finance operating leaders.
P&L, Budgeting & Forecasting
  • Own the annual budget process and monthly forecast cycle for the region, in partnership with the Business Leader.
  • Manage full P&L forecasting and variance analysis — actuals vs. budget, prior year, and prior forecast.
  • Lead trend projections and operational analysis to anticipate risks and opportunities ahead of the close.
Performance Metrics & Tracking
  • Build and maintain dashboards to track key operational and financial performance metrics for the region.
  • Monitor working capital performance and partner with operations on improvement initiatives.
  • Apply cost accounting review and monitor labor standards against targets.
Pricing & Margin Decision-Making
  • Partner with the Business Leader on pricing strategy, providing margin analysis by product, customer, and segment to support decisions.
  • Evaluate the financial impact of pricing changes and cost movements on regional profitability.
Bridge to Corporate
  • Act as the primary liaison between the region and corporate finance, ensuring alignment on reporting standards, timelines, and consolidation requirements.
  • Communicate regional performance, risks, and forecasts clearly to corporate stakeholders.
  • Champion and implement corporate finance initiatives and process improvements at the regional level.
Team Leadership
  • Provide strategic and tactical leadership, driving continuous improvement in accounting and reporting processes.
  • Foster a positive, proactive, and collaborative team environment
  • Other duties as assigned.

Required Skills

  • Bachelor's degree (BS) in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required.
  • 10+ years of progressive financial accounting experience, with a mix of public accounting and industry experience (service-based or manufacturing industry experience preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience as a finance business partner to operating leadership, including budgeting, forecasting, and margin analysis.
  • Previous supervisory experience required.
Required Skills and Competencies
  • Strong business partnering and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across all levels of the organization and operate autonomously with minimal direction.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills; able to translate complex financial analysis into clear guidance for operating leaders and corporate stakeholders.
  • Superior analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of resolving complex business problems through structured, data-driven analysis.
  • Strong reasoning and judgment: able to define problems, gather data, establish facts, and draw sound conclusions across abstract and concrete variables.
  • Advanced Excel and ERP proficiency (NetSuite preferred); comfort building reporting/analytics tools and dashboards.
  • Team-oriented, collaborative, and decisive leadership style, with demonstrated ability to lead across a matrix organization and drive teams toward shared outcomes.
