    About the Company


    We are a leading distributor with multiple locations across Canada. With a strong focus on customer service, technical support, and strategic inventory management, we continue to grow while prioritizing quality, trust, and long-term relationships.

    Position Summary


    We are seeking a bilingual Controller to join a seasoned accounting team. This role is ideal for a solid, capable, and confident finance professional who is adaptable, team-oriented, and eager to learn the business. Our AP and AR teams are strong, and systems run smoothly — you will provide support, guidance, and strategic financial oversight while managing HR responsibilities.

    Key Responsibilities


    Financial Reporting & Accounting

    • Lead full-cycle accounting (GL, month-end close, bank reconciliations).
    • Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
    • Oversee inventory accounting and costing in collaboration with operations.
    • Provide information and support to external auditors for year-end audits.

    Budgeting & Forecasting

    • Develop annual budgets and rolling forecasts with department leaders.
    • Track performance against budgets and provide actionable variance analysis.
    • Support pricing, margin, and cost reviews tied to overall profitability.

    Internal Controls & Compliance

    • Maintain and strengthen internal financial controls and procedures.
    • Ensure compliance with Canadian accounting standards, Revenue Québec, and tax requirements.

    Cash & Treasury Management

    • Monitor cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships.
    • Oversee credit and collections policies as needed.
    • Support capital planning for equipment, facilities, or technology investments.

    HR & People Management

    • Act as HR lead, overseeing payroll (through ADP), vacation tracking, RRSP/pension plan, and employee benefits.
    • Provide mentorship and support to AP/AR teams as needed — primarily as a sounding board, not heavy supervision.
    • Promote a collaborative and team-oriented environment.

    Process Improvement & Leadership

    • Identify opportunities for process improvements and automation.
    • Partner with senior leadership on strategic initiatives and financial planning.
    • Support cross-functional projects while respecting the established, efficient accounting team.

    Qualifications

    • Bilingual (French & English) — essential due to Québec business and Revenue Québec requirements.
    • CPA designation (or equivalent accounting designation in Canada).
    • 5–7 years of progressive accounting/finance experience, ideally in wholesale, distribution, or logistics.
    • Solid understanding of inventory-centric business models and cost accounting.
    • Advanced Excel skills; experience with accounting and ERP systems (Infor CloudSuite Distribution preferred).
    • Team-oriented, adaptable, and collaborative approach.

    Core Competencies

    • Strong business partnering and strategic thinking skills.
    • Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and integrity.
    • Process-minded, but flexible in approach to support an existing high-functioning team.
    • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-branch distribution environment.

    What We Offer

    • Competitive salary + bonus, paid vacation, personal days, birthday off, and some paid holiday time.
    • Pension matching up to 3%.
    • Opportunity to influence growth and financial strategy across a national footprint.
    • Collaborative, service-focused environment with experienced industry professionals.
