The Controller is responsible for leading the company’s accounting operations and delivering accurate, timely financial reporting across multiple construction projects. This role will oversee job costing, WIP reporting, AP/AR, payroll accounting, month-end close, and cash flow forecasting—while strengthening internal controls and supporting senior leadership with clear financial insights to drive project and business decisions.

• Own full-cycle accounting operations including month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statement preparation.
• Manage construction job costing: maintain cost codes, monitor budgets vs. actuals, analyze variances, and ensure clean cost allocation by project.
• Prepare and present WIP reporting (percent complete), project margin tracking, and forecast-to-complete reporting for leadership.
• Oversee AP/AR including vendor management, subcontractor payments, lien holdbacks, progress billings, collections, and cash application.
• Support project teams with financial tracking for change orders, POs, contracts, and commitments.
• Lead cash flow forecasting and working capital management; monitor credit facilities and banking requirements.
• Ensure compliance with CRA filings and reporting (HST, payroll remittances, T4/T5, etc.) and coordinate year-end with external accountants.
• Develop and improve accounting policies, internal controls, and processes to support growth and reduce risk.
• Manage and mentor accounting staff (as applicable) and coordinate with project managers, estimators, and operations.

• 5+ years progressive accounting experience, with construction/building/development experience strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of job costing, WIP, holdbacks, progress billing, and subcontractor accounting.
• Experience with accounting/ERP systems (e.g., Sage, Jonas, Viewpoint, Quick Books + costing tools) and strong Excel skills.
• Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and confident communicating with operations and leadership.
