Job description

Financial Controller
Our client is a well-established, award-winning construction firm, with active and upcoming projects across the South Western Ontario region. Known for a hands-on, quality-first approach to building and a strong reputation for after-sales service, they're a lean, close-knit organization where every team member has real visibility into the business - not a large corporate environment where you're several layers removed from decisions.

They're looking for a Financial Controller to take ownership of accounting and financial operations across the company, reporting directly to the General Manager. This is a role for someone who wants to lead the finance function but also genuinely enjoys being in the details - from monthly close to construction loan draws to land purchase analysis.

What Our Client Has to Offer

  • Base salary: $100,000–$120,000
  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • RRSP matching program
  • CPA membership dues covered + continuing education
  • 4 weeks vacation
  • Fully onsite role with direct exposure to ownership and senior leadership
  • Genuine scope to shape financial processes and controls, not just maintain them


What You'll Do

  • Own day-to-day accounting operations, including AR, AP, GL, cost accounting, government remittances, inventory accounting, banking, revenue recognition, and payroll
  • Lead the annual budget process, financial forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Prepare and publish monthly financial statements
  • Provide financial analysis and strategic counsel on land and lot purchase opportunities
  • Build pro-forma statements and cash flow analyses to support new business decisions
  • Manage daily cash requirements and banking across multiple companies and project accounts
  • Prepare monthly and long-term cash flow forecasts
  • Develop detailed construction project budgets and cash flows
  • Coordinate monthly construction loan funding with lawyers and lenders
  • Liaise with cost consultants and prepare documentation supporting construction loan draws
  • Develop, document, and communicate internal control policies and accounting procedures
  • Manage government reporting requirements and tax filings
  • Support month-end and year-end close processes
  • Research technical accounting issues to maintain compliance
  • Mentor and oversee one direct report


What You Bring

  • CPA, CGA, CMA, CA designation
  • 5+ years of combined accounting and finance experience in construction
  • Strong full-cycle accounting knowledge, including budgeting and cost control
  • Experience with Sage accounting software is preferred
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines
  • Confidence interacting with management, ownership, external partners, and staff
