About Us
Enkel is a cloud-based accounting and financial operations firm serving 300+ Canadian businesses and not-for-profits. Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, timely, and decision-ready financials so our clients can build stronger organizations.
We believe great financial reporting should do more than check compliance boxes. It should help leaders make better decisions, grow their organizations, and create meaningful impact.
Our team moves fast, embraces technology, and constantly pushes the bar higher for financial clarity and client service. If you care deeply about using financial data to drive real-world decisions, you will fit right in.
About The Role
This is not a traditional Controller role.
We are seeking a Controller, Strategic Accounts to act as the embedded, in-house financial leader for a select group of 5 to 10 larger, more complex clients.
In this role, you will operate as your clients’ de facto Controller, owning their finance function end-to-end and partnering directly with founders, executive teams, and non-profit leaders on how they run and grow their organizations.
This is a depth over breadth role. Rather than managing a high-volume portfolio, you will work closely with a small number of organizations where context, continuity, and judgment matter. You will be expected to go beyond reporting by bringing insight, challenging assumptions, and helping leaders make better financial decisions.
Alongside your client work, you will support and elevate our internal team, ensuring that execution matches the level of strategic insight you bring.
This role is designed for Controllers who want to move beyond oversight and operate as a true financial partner, with meaningful influence on how organizations plan, operate, and grow.

- Supporting fundraising, audits, or major organizational changes
- Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous or complex financial situations
