Controller

Our client is an established owner‑managed family business run by the third generation of family members. The organization boasts stability and long-tenured employees over its 75 years in busines. Due to an upcoming retirement, our client is seeking a hands‑on Controller to lead the financial operations and support the company's continued growth. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment—someone flexible, resourceful, and willing to roll up their sleeves to help wherever needed.

As a key member of the leadership team, you will oversee day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, strengthen internal controls, enhance systems and processes, and budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis. Our client is looking for an experienced leader who values teamwork, collaboration, and getting things done in a dynamic, fast‑moving environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee monthly and year‑end close, delivering timely and accurate financial statements.
• Establish, maintain, and enforce accounting policies and procedures aligned with ASPE and organizational standards.
• Lead preparation of audit documentation and act as the primary contact for external auditors.
• Ensure compliance with all tax, statutory, and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
• Drive process improvements, system enhancements, and automation to strengthen reporting accuracy and efficiency.
• Process bi‑monthly payroll using a third‑party system; manage employee benefits and pension programs.
• Support initiatives related to internal controls, risk management, and corporate governance.
• Jump in wherever needed—supporting AP, AR, cost accounting, inventory, and operational finance during peak periods or when priorities shift.
