You will report to a manager who values teamwork and collaboration. The position is offered in a hybrid work mode.
As an Assistant Controller, you will be responsible for assisting in the preparation of financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.

Another of your responsibilities will be managing the GST/QST reports, ensuring their accuracy and compliance. You will play a key role in the onboarding of new employees, ensuring that payroll, email setups, IT equipment, and employee benefits are set up smoothly and effectively.

You will also control project costs and revenues, comparing them to budgets and explaining discrepancies when necessary. You will assist in managing cash flow, ensuring the financial health of the company.
