Financial Controller — Architect Of Growth

FINANCIAL CONTROLLER — ARCHITECT OF GROWTH South-Shore

Numbers tell a story. You know how to read it — and turn it into decisions. We have a role built for exactly that.

A fast-growing Quebec company known for its sustainable practices is ready to level up its finance function. Its teams deliver essential services — hygiene, cleanliness, sanitation — to thousands of clients across the province, every single day.

The mandate: build a finance function that can keep pace with that growth. You report directly to senior management, with direct access to the files that matter — innovation, acquisitions, structuring.

• You get trusted with the decisions that matter — not just the reports that summarize them.
• A team that moves forward together, where collaboration beats competition.
• Direct access to the company's acquisition and innovation initiatives.
• Work with real purpose: your numbers support essential services for thousands of clients.
• Job stability, full benefits, and leadership that actually recognizes great work.

Here, finance doesn't just report — it drives. You become the organization's financial compass, turning data into clear strategic choices while building the foundation that supports what's next.

• Take part in the company's acquisition and innovation projects.
• Turn forecasts and financial analysis into concrete recommendations for leadership.
• Work with outside experts (tax, IT, innovation) on strategic projects.

• Oversee the full accounting function — accounts receivable and payable, general ledger, payroll.
• Deliver reliable, on-time financial statements in accordance with ASPE standards.
• Lead monthly and annual closings.

• Put in place the internal controls and policies that protect the company.
• Ensure compliance with federal and provincial financial requirements.
• Spot efficiency gains — inventory, automation, workflow.

• Accounting degree + CPA designation.
• 5+ years in accounting (public practice experience an asset).
• Strong grasp of Canadian accounting standards.
• Leadership, communication, and problem-solving instincts.
• Advanced French; functional English (bilingualism an asset).

• Strategic vision, a cool head for numbers.
• Leadership that brings people together, not just directs them.
• Rigor and integrity, no exceptions.
• Genuine curiosity for continuous improvement.
• Comfortable with change, a natural partner to leadership.
