Assistant Controller

Join a Stable, Growing, and Collaborative Organization

Our client is an innovative Canadian company that has built a strong reputation for delivering highly specialized architectural and technology-driven solutions across North America. With operations spanning multiple business entities and international markets, the organization continues to experience steady growth while maintaining a measured, long-term approach to success.

Employees are drawn to the company's friendly, inclusive culture, collaborative leadership team, and commitment to continuous improvement. This is an environment where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, take ownership of their work, and grow their careers while being supported by experienced and approachable leaders.

As the organization continues to evolve, they are seeking an experienced Assistant Controller to join their Richmond-based finance team.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Assistant Controller will play a key role in leading the organization's accounting operations. This position will take ownership of the monthly close process, consolidated financial reporting, and the ongoing improvement of accounting processes, controls, and reporting capabilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a CPA who enjoys both hands-on accounting and process improvement. You'll work closely with finance and operational leaders across multiple entities, gaining broad exposure to consolidated reporting, international operations, and strategic business initiatives.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Leading the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process.
• Preparing consolidated financial statements across multiple business entities.
• Managing intercompany reconciliations and ensuring accurate financial reporting.
• Reviewing journal entries, account reconciliations, and balance sheet accounts.
• Supporting audits, compliance requirements, and year-end reporting.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls, and increase efficiency.
• Assisting with system enhancements and automation initiatives.
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
• Partnering with leaders across the business to provide financial insights and support strategic initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• CPA designation.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Experience preparing consolidated financial statements within a multi-entity environment.
• Strong understanding of month-end close, financial reporting, and internal controls.
• Experience supporting annual audits and external reporting requirements.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP systems (NetSuite is considered an asset).
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and analytical abilities.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

Who Will Succeed Here

We're looking for someone who is:

• Highly organized and detail-oriented.
• A natural owner of deadlines and deliverables.
• Technically strong with excellent accounting fundamentals.
• Curious and committed to continuous improvement.
• Collaborative, approachable, and team-focused.
• Comfortable balancing day-to-day execution with process enhancement projects.
• A proactive problem solver who follows through and takes ownership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a financially stable and growing organization with a long-term outlook.
• Gain exposure to multiple operating entities and international business activities.
• Work closely with senior leadership, including the Director of Finance and CFO.
• Contribute to meaningful process improvement and automation initiatives.
• Enjoy a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive culture.
• Opportunity to grow your career within a business that values development, innovation, and operational excellence.
