This Controller role is a hands-on leadership position responsible for running the full accounting and financial reporting function for a fast-moving, highly acquisitive organization. You'll own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, lead an 8-person accounting team (AR, AP, payroll), and ensure accurate financials across multiple entities and both USD and CAD.

You'll partner closely with the CFO, external auditors, and tax advisers to deliver clean audits, strong internal controls, and disciplined financial processes. The role also includes managing tax compliance, supporting state and provincial filings, and maintaining documented review controls and accounting policies.

Beyond core accounting, you'll oversee treasury operations and cash flow reporting and play a key role in implementing new systems such as Sage Intacct, ADP Workforce Now, and Ramp. Because the company is actively acquiring businesses, you'll help integrate new entities, standardize processes, and strengthen reporting across the portfolio.

Success in this role looks like:

• Accurate, timely closes with complete reconciliations
• Smooth, well-coordinated audits and tax cycles
• Reliable cash forecasting and strong controls
• Clear visibility into multi-entity finances
• Effective partnership with the CFO, investment team, and external advisers

This is an ideal role for a CPA who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys building structure, and wants to be a key financial leader in a growing organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related discipline; CPA or equivalent professional accounting designation.
• Demonstrated experience managing financial close, financial statements, external audits, and internal controls.
• Strong spreadsheet and financial systems skills, with the ability to review complex calculations and reconcile information across multiple entities.
• Clear communication, sound judgment, attention to detail, and discretion with confidential investor and transaction information.
• Ability to manage competing deadlines and work effectively with investment professionals and external advisers.
• Exposure to portfolio-company reporting, acquisition accounting, and multi-entity or multi-currency structures.
• Experience leading a finance team and implementing accounting or reporting improvements.
