Divisional Controller

---

Date: May 2023

Salary: TBD

Growth – whether personal, professional, or physical – is a good thing, but that doesn’t mean it is always smooth sailing. Especially when that growth happens quickly . . . An accomplished navigator can steer you away from the shoals and point you in the direction of calmer waters.

Our client is looking for that navigator. An experienced finance & accounting professional who will develop an understanding of the business, build strong relationships with staff at all levels, and provide strategic and operational guidance to integrate new acquisitions, develop teams, processes, and systems, and ensure senior management and the Board have the financial information needed to keep the Group on course. 

This is a senior finance role within the company, with responsibility and oversight covering all their operations in Canada and the U.S. A true business partner, the Divisional Controller will be a crucial link between the operations and wider business teams in partnership with the CEO and Director, Finance. There is tremendous opportunity here for the right person to move into the C-suite. 

The ideal candidate will bring a combination of finance, accounting, and business acumen developed through education and work experience, with increasing responsibility and scope. They will be adept at establishing trust across all organizational levels, preferably in a multi-site environment. 

If you are an ambitious CPA with a minimum of 8 years of operational/site-based management accounting experience in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial manufacturing or industrial service environment, exceptional interpersonal skills, strong business acumen, and the ability to distil key points from financial data, communicate it clearly, and use the information to help develop executable strategies, this could be the ideal next move for you.
