Financial Controller (Toronto)
HireLoft Recruitment Inc.
HireLoft Recruitment is hiring a Controller for a privately held, profitable B2B services business in downtown Toronto, a short walk from Union Station.
Our client has scaled fast in the Canadian market and is backed by a long-established international parent. No private equity and no funding risk. The finance function is being built out to match the growth, and this seat was deliberately expanded from an accounting manager role into a full Controller mandate before going to market.
Why people are taking this call
You're the number two.
You report directly to the VP Finance and take real ownership, not a slice of it.
It's a title step up with the scope to match.
This was an accounting manager seat. It was rewritten as a Controller role because the business outgrew it.
Your team grows.
You lead a senior accountant and accounts payable on day one. Receivables and payroll are expected to move under you within about six months.
It's not a reporting-only seat.
Close, controls and audit, yes. But also budgeting, forecasting and the analysis that goes to senior leadership.
What you'll own
Day-to-day operations of the accounting function, and the accuracy and timing of everything that comes out of it
Monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements
Month-end and year-end close, start to finish
Review of balance sheet reconciliations (bank, credit card, prepaids, accruals) and chasing down anything that doesn't tie
Internal controls and accounting procedures, maintained and improved
The annual audit, working directly with external auditors
Monthly HST filings and compliance with accounting standards and internal policy
Budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis, with recommendations that reach senior leadership
Cash management and financial planning support
Process and system improvements that make the function faster
Coaching, mentoring and performance management for the accounting team
What we need to see
7 to 10 years of progressive accounting experience
You have personally owned a full close cycle in an in-house role. This is the one we can't flex on.
Solid working knowledge of IFRS and ASPE
ERP experience and advanced Excel
Direct people management experience, with examples of developing your team
Comfort in a fast, commercially driven environment where you own the detail
The details
$125,000 to $135,000 base, plus bonus and benefits
Five days per week on site in downtown Toronto, a short walk from Union Station
Reporting to the VP Finance
HireLoft Recruitment is an equal opportunity recruitment partner. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and provide accommodation on request at any stage of the process.
