The posting

We are working with our Edmonton based client, seeking a Controller to lead the finance function. You'll build a more modern, efficient, and insightful approach to how they manage the numbers.

This role suits someone who takes pride in the fundamentals, solves problems, develops people, and looks for better ways to work. Success here means more than accurate financial statements. It means finance runs smoothly, and people trust the numbers. Closes are accurate and predictable. The audit runs on schedule. Budgets and forecasts give the team clear direction. Payroll, payments, filings, and remittances happen on time. Financial information helps the team make better decisions.

You'll own financial reporting, budgeting, audit, payroll, cash management, and controls. You'll also help our client put technology, automation, and AI to work across the finance function. You'll shape how finance operates, develop the people around you, and build processes that make them stronger as they grow.

The successful candidate will be excited to simplify processes, upgrade technology, and automate repetitive work. You'll have the trust and autonomy to own the finance function and keep improving it.

Role Responsibilities

  • Financial reporting and accounting: Own the integrity of the financial information, including month-end and year-end close, financial statements, reconciliations, and internal controls.
  • Budgeting and forecasting: Lead budgeting, forecasting, cash planning, and financial analysis that gives the team clear, practical insight for better decisions.
  • Audit and compliance: Lead the annual audit and oversee financial filings, remittances, policies, and compliance requirements.
  • Vendor/banking relationships: Own and maintain strong relationships with banks, advisors, and vendors.
  • Financial operations: Oversee day-to-day finance, including payroll, accounts payable and receivable, banking, cash management, and investments.
  • Technology and continuous improvement: Simplify processes and adopt automation, AI, and better financial reporting tools.
  • Team leadership: Lead and develop the finance team. Build capability, encourage ownership, and collaborate across the organization and with external partners.

Role Requirements

You combine strong technical fundamentals with practical business judgment. Specifically, you bring:

  • CPA designation
  • Minimum 5 years of post-designation experience
  • Experience as a Controller, Accounting Manager, or in a comparable senior accounting role
  • Strong experience with month-end and year-end close, financial statements, reconciliations, and financial controls
  • Experience leading an external audit from the client side
  • Experience with budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and variance analysis
  • Practical knowledge of payroll, corporate filings, remittances, and financial operations
  • Experience coaching and developing accounting professionals
  • Ability to explain financial information clearly to people who aren't accountants
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel
  • Curiosity about technology, automation, AI, and better ways of working
  • Insurance, employee benefits, or financial services experience is an asset, not a requirement

Compensation: A comprehensive compensation and benefits plan will accompany the successful candidate, with an annual salary based upon individual experience, education, and skillset, as well as performance-based incentives based on pre-determined KPIs. Base salary range of 110-140K.

We thank all interested applicants. Please note that only those applicants who meet the qualifications and requirements will be contacted.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
