We’ve partnered with a well-respected international construction and industrial services company to identify a Canadian Controller who is ready to make a significant impact.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced ambitious Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager looking to take the next step into a senior finance leadership role. Or an experienced Controller looking for growth and a change of pace with an international operation.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Ownership over finance and accounting for Canadian operations for a stable, well-established organization with international resources and backing
Significant exposure to executive and operational leadership with opportunity to drive process improvements and financial strategy
Ideal next step for a high-performing Assistant Controller or Accounting Manager and offers platform for long-term career growth and advancement

This role is particularly well-suited for:

Experienced Controllers ready for more growth and team leadership
Assistant Controllers seeking broader leadership responsibility
Construction accounting professionals with WIP expertise
Manufacturing accounting leaders with strong cost accounting experience
Project accounting professionals looking to move into business leadership

Responsibilities

Lead and develop the Canadian accounting team
Manage month-end and year-end financial close processes
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting
Drive project costing, job cost analysis, and profitability reporting
Manage Work-in-Progress (WIP) calculations and cost accounting activities
Strengthen internal controls and accounting processes
Coordinate audit and compliance requirements
Partner with operational leaders to improve financial performance and decision-making

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Accounting or Finance
CPA designation or equivalent preferred
Construction, manufacturing, engineering or related project-based environments
Expertise in WIP accounting, project accounting, cost accounting or job costing
Proven ability to lead and develop accounting staff
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

Please Note: This opportunity is with a client of Forvis Mazars and is not a position with Forvis Mazars directly. Our Executive Search team is assisting a dynamic construction company in its next phase of growth and has been retained to identify exceptional accounting and finance talent for this confidential search. All candidate inquiries and discussions will be held in strict confidence.
