Are you a visionary financial leader with a knack for multi-entity operations, technology integration, and process improvement? If so, we have an excellent opportunity as a Group Controller for a well-established and growing distribution organization. Our client prides itself on fostering a collaborative culture and values-driven growth backed by acquisitions.

Reporting to the CFO and leading a team of 7-10 staff, this is a unique opportunity to lead change within a company that supports career development and values innovation. We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced yet supportive environment and who brings a combination of technical expertise, leadership acumen, and a collaborative spirit.

What is in it for you?

- Growth Through Acquisitions: Join a company that’s expanding operations strategically, creating opportunities for internal career advancement.
- Career Development: Become a key player in an organization that prioritizes investing in employees' growth and upward mobility.
- Technology-Driven: Lead the charge in automating financial reporting and implementing ERP/dashboards for smarter, faster decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting and Financial Reporting (ASPE)

- Oversee financial reporting across Canadian and US business units, ensuring timely, accurate, and insights-driven consolidation on a monthly, quarterly, trailing 12-month, and annual basis.
- Conduct robust variance analyses and close month-end processes within 10 business days, including workbook updates and intercompany reconciliations.
- Oversee inventory valuation considerations (e.g., tariffs, landed costs, purchase discounts) and performance metrics across numerous product lines.

Tax Compliance

- Manage corporate tax reporting and timely compliance across Canada and the United States, including transfer pricing arrangements.
- Collaborate with external tax advisors on complex filings for federal, state/provincial, and local requirements.

Strategic Financial Initiatives

- Support M& A due diligence, post-acquisition integration, and financial modeling for strategic growth initiatives.
- Forecast trends in working capital, backlogs, pricing margins, and customer/supplier behavior to optimize business decisions.
- Drive cost reduction via operational synergies during integrations.

Technology Leadership

- Spearhead ERP system implementations, creating real-time KPI dashboards for more efficient decision-making.
- Leverage AI and automation tools (e.g., BI tools, Expensify) to streamline tasks while maintaining rigorous controls.

Management & Collaboration

- Partner with cross-functional teams (sales, operations, IT) to align financial strategy with broader business objectives.
- Simplify communication of financial insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
