Our Client:
Join a fast-growing company that's redefining safety and operational excellence in one of Canada's most dynamic markets. This organization delivers specialized, tech-enabled services that protect communities, assets, and the people within them. With a strong foothold in the Greater Toronto Area and ambitious plans to scale, they operate at the intersection of service delivery, technology, and compliance - bringing structure, accountability, and innovation to an industry that demands both precision and trust. If you're a finance leader who wants to be part of something that's genuinely growing and where your impact will be felt across the entire organization, this is your opportunity.
The Role:
Our client is seeking a
Controller to join their leadership team in a high-impact, hands-on role that reports directly to the CFO. This isn't a back-office position - it's a seat at the table.

- Oversee day-to-day financial operations and ensure accuracy across all balance sheet and income statement accounts
- Manage multiple general ledgers to support detailed management reporting, including cost segmentation, payroll by business line, and inventory tracking
- Lead timely month-end and year-end close processes
- Collaborate with the CFO on accounting policy, operational strategy, and ASPE compliance
- Partner with cross-functional leaders in operations, sales, and HR to align financial activity with business objectives
- Mentor and develop a team of accountants, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
- Deliver strategic financial insights that support executive decision-making
- Manage relationships with external auditors, banking partners, tax advisors, and other key stakeholders
- Build and maintain robust internal controls to minimize risk and optimize operations
- Support the implementation of CRM/ERP or other enterprise technology platforms, ensuring data integrity through the accounting function
- Drive process improvements across the finance team and broader organization
Qualifications:
- CPA designation required (CMA, CGA, or CPA Canada)
- +5 years' of progressive leadership experience with experience owning and creating SOP's/processes
- Degree or diploma in finance, accounting, or a related field
- Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial complexity into clear, actionable narratives
- Strong business acumen and a track record of surfacing meaningful insights from financial data
- Proactive, self-driven mindset with a demonstrated history of process improvement and value creation
- High ethical standards and personal accountability in all aspects of financial reporting and compliance
- Open to working on-site
What Our Client Has to Offer:
- Competitive salary ranging from $100,000 - $140,000
