This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for a CPA who brings a strong foundation in public practice along with significant corporate accounting experience. The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining the integrity of financial reporting, supporting strategic decision-making, and strengthening accounting processes across the organization.

The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience in a Controller, Corporate Controller, or Finance Manager capacity, combined with prior public practice experience.

Oversee the consolidation of financial information across entities and ensure consolidated reporting is accurate, complete, and delivered within established timelines.
Manage the annual external audit process, coordinating information requests and working closely with auditors and external advisors.
Oversee cash management activities, including cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, and monitoring of financing and lender requirements.
Prepare and maintain financial forecasts, management reporting, and other analysis used by leadership to support business decisions.
Ensure accounting transactions, accruals, journal entries, and supporting documentation are complete, accurate, and appropriately supported.
Research and assess complex accounting matters, determine appropriate accounting treatments, and document conclusions in accordance with applicable standards.
Establish, maintain, and enhance accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
Identify opportunities to streamline accounting processes, improve reporting, and increase the efficiency and accuracy of the finance function.
Lead the preparation of annual budgets and forecasts, including supporting schedules and management presentation materials.
Analyze actual results against budgets and forecasts, investigate significant variances, and communicate key financial trends and insights to leadership.
Support longer-term financial planning and business forecasting initiatives.
Provide oversight of day-to-day accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, general ledger, and treasury activities.
Build and maintain effective relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, banking partners, lenders, and other professional service providers.
Assist with financial analysis and due diligence related to acquisitions, investments, and other strategic initiatives.
Partner with operational and corporate teams to provide financial guidance and support informed business decisions.
Respond to regular and ad hoc reporting and analysis requirements from senior leadership.
Provide leadership, direction, and mentorship to members of the accounting team.

Qualifications & Experience

CPA designation.
Minimum five years of experience in a Controller, Corporate Controller, Finance Manager, or comparable senior finance leadership role.
Previous experience in public practice is required, with exposure to full-cycle audit engagements and financial statement preparation.
Strong working knowledge and practical application of IFRS.
Demonstrated financial consolidation experience, ideally within a multi-entity organization.
Strong technical accounting and financial reporting background.
