Our client, an SME in the services sector, is looking for an Assistant Controller to join their team. You will report to a manager who takes the time to support their team and is the complete opposite of a micromanager. This manager provides significant autonomy and encourages independent decision-making. You will have the opportunity to play a key role in the accuracy of the accounting cycle and the continuous improvement of financial processes. This position offers excellent growth opportunities within a stable, people-focused, and evolving organization. The role is offered in a hybrid work format.
As Assistant Controller, you will play a central role in ensuring the rigor and reliability of the company’s accounting cycle. On a daily basis, you will be responsible for preparing and reviewing balance audit reports and analyzing duplicate invoices to correct any discrepancies. You will perform reconciliations of multiple bank accounts in different currencies (CAD, USD, GBP, EUR) and maintain updated cash flow reports. You will also review travel expense reports and make the necessary allocations.
On a weekly basis, you will review aged accounts receivable and payable, prepare credit card payments according to established schedules, and perform full bank account reconciliations. You will also ensure payroll entries are accurately recorded.
On a monthly basis, you will be responsible for submitting and reconciling corporate credit card reports, approving billing reports, and reconciling bank accounts. You will prepare and record foreign currency adjustments and corrections, perform bank reconciliations for multiple entities and currencies, and ensure corporate card statements are accurate. You will review and reconcile reports from external agents, obtaining necessary approvals before posting payments and compensations in the system.
You will also prepare and record various monthly journal entries, including accruals, merchant fees, recurring entries, intercompany transactions, and rent. You will maintain tracking tables for accounts payable, accounts receivable, deferred expenses, deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, and departing agents. Finally, you will submit and reconcile monthly and annual tax filings (GST/QST) and monitor contributions to retirement plans (RRSP/PRPP).
Candidate with a minimum of 3 years of experience, including several years in financial management or controlling, ideally in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment. We are looking for someone who has been involved in preparing financial statements, managing audits, and overseeing international operations, particularly in North America and Europe. Known for your rigor, attention to detail, and solution-oriented approach, you excel in a dynamic and collaborative environment. Holding a CPA designation is an asset.
