North York ON MJ L, Canada Platinum Automotive Group Full time

Read This First — AI Is Mandatory

Modern accounting is changing fast. We are hiring a Financial Controller who is comfortable working with AI tools and automation to improve speed, accuracy, reporting, and controls.

If you do not actively use AI in your work (or you're not willing/able to adopt it), do not apply.

Examples include using AI to:

  • speed up reconciliations and variance analysis
  • automate reporting and templates
  • improve documentation, policy writing, and workflow quality
  • reduce manual admin work without sacrificing accuracy or compliance

The Role (Not a Bookkeeper)

We're hiring a Financial Controller to own full-cycle accounting and financial reporting end-to-end.

This is not a bookkeeping role. We need someone who can run the function properly: close, reporting, compliance, CRA/HST, and year-end coordination.

You must have at least 5 years of full-cycle accounting experience in Canada and be fluent in English. We are not hiring outside Canada, and we're not looking for junior or entry-level candidates.

What You'll Be Responsible ForFull-Cycle Accounting Ownership

  • Manage A/P, A/R, bank/credit card reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and general ledger
  • Run month-end close
  • Maintain clean, accurate books with proper documentation and controls

CRA / Compliance (Non-Negotiable)

  • Prepare and file HST/GST returns with supporting schedules
  • Handle payroll coordination and statutory remittances (as applicable)
  • Ensure compliance with CRA rules and internal policies

Financial Reporting & Management Support

  • Prepare monthly financial statements and management reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Provide variance analysis and insights (not just reports)
  • Support budgeting and forecasting as required

Year-End / External Partners

  • Coordinate year-end with external accountants
  • Prepare working papers, schedules, reconciliations, and audit-ready files

Systems, AI & Process Improvement

  • Maintain and optimize QuickBooks (and related systems)
  • Use AI tools to improve workflows, controls, reporting, and efficiency
  • Build repeatable processes that reduce manual work and improve consistency

Required Qualifications (Must Have)

  • Minimum 5 years of full-cycle accounting experience in Canada
  • Hands-on experience with:
  • HST/GST filings
  • Month-end close
  • Year-end preparation
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Strong practical understanding of CRA compliance
  • QuickBooks proficiency (Online and/or Desktop)
  • AI competency (mandatory): you actively use AI/automation tools in your workflow and can demonstrate how you apply them to accounting/reporting/process improvement
  • Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations)
  • Fluent English communication (written and verbal)

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $50,000.00-$75,000.00 per year
