Controller public sector

Position: Controller - 4 - 6 month contract (public sector)
Another Mason Group exclusive! We have partnered with our public sector client to help them find a CPA for a Controller / Senior Manager contract opportunity. Centrally located along the Broadway corridor, this lucrative contract should end just in time for snow-birding season.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Director you will be given ample support to ramp up quickly, however the role requires an individual familiar with PSAS, either from industry (preferred) or from recent public practice days. A minimum of 5+ years of post‑designation experience is required, and it may appeal nicely to recently retired individuals who would like to keep busy for a few months.

Leading a large team of supervisors managing the transactional accounting teams, your primary focus will be the accounting and financial reporting for the entity, as well as preparing and assisting with the year‑end auditor/auditors. Capital project accounting knowledge would be helpful as well.

Requirements

A Canadian CPA designation is mandatory, preferably with 5+ years of progressive post‑designation experience.
