Job description

Join to apply for the Controller role at TalentMinded Inc.

Our client is a high‑growth, enterprise‑focused organization operating at the forefront of a rapidly evolving threat landscape. They partner with senior leaders to reduce risk, simplify complexity, and strengthen long‑term operational resilience through fully integrated, end‑to‑end solutions spanning strategic advisory to always‑on operational protection. They value leadership, collaboration, integrity, innovation, and excellence—and foster an inclusive, supportive, high‑trust workplace where diverse perspectives are recognized and celebrated.

As they expand their product portfolio and business‑unit structure, they are strengthening their financial foundation to support increased operational complexity, strategic investment, and long‑term performance. To enable this next chapter, they are searching for a hands‑on, strategically minded Controller to lead financial operations at the business‑unit level, elevate reporting accuracy, and build systems and processes that support scalable growth.

This is a full‑time hybrid position with flexibility to travel between Canada and the US for various leadership meetings.

Responsibilities

  • You will : Lead financial operations. You will oversee day‑to‑day accounting activities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, general ledger, and month‑end close. You will ensure accuracy, strengthen internal controls, maintain audit‑ready processes, and provide timely, reliable financial information that supports decision‑making. You will independently own full‑cycle accounting, demonstrating the judgment and discipline expected of the top finance leader in the business.
  • You will : Drive business‑unit finance transformation. You will lead the transition from a centralized finance model to a structure aligned with individual business units. You will design budgeting, cost allocation, and reporting frameworks that support scalability, accountability, and operational performance. You will introduce new tools, processes, and financial governance models that enable growth.
  • You will : Elevate reporting, metrics, and analysis. You will deliver accurate financial statements, KPIs, and operational metrics. You will translate data into actionable insights for the executive team. You will improve manual processes, advance automation, and build dashboards that track performance, support investment decisions, and guide long‑term planning.
  • You will : Partner at the executive level. You will work directly with the CEO and business leaders to provide financial insights for strategic initiatives, board‑level reporting, and investor communications. You will influence planning, capital allocation, pricing evaluation, and integration work for new business initiatives or acquisitions.
  • You will : Optimize systems and processes. You will lead enhancements to ERP systems, workflows, and controls, leveraging technology and analytics to increase efficiency and reliability. You will design scalable systems from the ground up, identify automation opportunities, and implement best‑practice accounting frameworks.

Qualifications

  • You bring : Leadership. You are motivated by the opportunity to bring clarity and structure to an ambiguous environment, guiding an accountant's work and collaborating with leaders. You are comfortable being the senior‑most finance leader at the business‑unit level, providing direction without day‑to‑day oversight, establishing financial discipline, and acting as the bridge to future VP / CFO‑level leadership.
  • You bring : Experience. You have progressive accounting experience, growing into a Controller or senior finance leadership role. You have overseen full‑cycle accounting, led audits, owned the month‑end close, and managed financial reporting independently. You have experience advising executives and preparing materials suitable for boards or investors. You have operated in a fast‑growing or evolving environment, where strengthening controls, reporting, and structure were essential. A CPA is preferred; an MBA is a strong asset.
  • You bring : Strategic and operational balance. You excel at building processes from scratch, improving existing systems, and maintaining accuracy while driving transformation. You bring practical experience and insights to solve detailed accounting issues and guide company‑wide decisions.
  • You bring : Technical knowledge. You have an in‑depth understanding of how financial planning, reporting, and accounting operations influence growth, performance, and strategy. You bring advanced Excel and ERP system expertise, as well as deep knowledge of accounting standards and internal controls. You have the technical depth to independently determine appropriate accounting treatments, including IFRS, revenue recognition, and consolidation principles, and to guide leaders through the financial implications of strategic decisions.
  • You bring : Interpersonal strengths. You build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and influence effectively across teams. You bring professionalism, maturity, and balanced judgment. You are skilled at explaining financial concepts to non‑financial stakeholders and can hold your own in executive‑level discussions.
  • Interview Process

  • Review process : A virtual interview with a Talent Advisor to discuss your interest in the company and the role. The conversation will be recorded using BrightHire, an AI‑powered video interview tool. More details will be shared when you are invited.
  • Interview with the Hiring Manager : Focused on how your experience aligns with the function's needs and what you can expect in the role.
  • Follow‑up interview with the CEO and the Hiring Manager : To learn more about the organization’s financial strategy.
  • Should you require accommodation in any aspect of the selection process, please contact us at careers@talentminded.ca, and we will be happy to help.

    We encourage applications from candidates who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, particularly individuals from Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities, persons with disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, and those with lived experience. If you have 70% of the qualifications we are looking for, we encourage you to apply to express your interest.
