Ready to Own the Finance Function? Are you a CPA working in construction accounting who is ready for more ownership?

Perhaps you’re already a

Controller

looking for a hands‑on role where you can have a greater impact, or you’re an experienced

Accounting Manager, Finance Manager or Senior Accountant

who has built strong construction accounting expertise and is ready to take the next step.

Our client, an established

General Contractor in Mississauga , is looking for a Financial Controller to lead its accounting function and become a key financial partner to its construction and executive teams.

This isn’t a role where you’ll be buried several layers deep in a large finance department.

You’ll have visibility, autonomy and direct exposure to senior leadership while working closely with Project Managers, Estimators and construction leaders to understand what’s happening across projects — and what the numbers are telling the business.

What You’ll Own As Controller, you’ll take responsibility for the company’s day‑to‑day financial operations and project accounting, including:

Leading monthly and quarterly financial reporting and close

Managing budgeting, forecasting and cash flow

Overseeing job costing, WIP reporting and EAC/cost‑to‑complete forecasting

Reviewing project performance, margins and profitability

Partnering with Project Managers and Estimators to improve financial visibility across projects

Identifying cost variances and potential margin erosion

Overseeing AP, AR, payroll and general accounting

Supporting and developing the Project Accountant

Maintaining strong financial controls and reporting processes

Ensuring compliance with ASPE/GAAP

Identifying opportunities to improve financial systems, processes and reporting





Providing financial insight to senior leadership to support business decisions

What We’re Looking For You don’t necessarily need to already have

Controller

on your résumé.

We’re interested in experienced construction accounting professionals who have the technical foundation and leadership ability to take ownership of the function.

What You Should Bring:

CPA designation

6+ years of progressive accounting experience

Accounting experience within construction or General Contracting

Robust knowledge of job costing, WIP and EAC/project forecasting

Experience partnering with Project Managers and/or operational teams

Previous people leadership or mentoring experience

Strong financial reporting and month‑end capabilities

Advanced Excel skills

Experience working with accounting/ERP systems

Strong understanding of ASPE/GAAP

The confidence to challenge numbers, ask questions and communicate financial information to non‑finance leaders

Who Could Be a Great Fit? You may be:

A

Controller

who enjoys staying close to the business and wants greater visibility and influence

An

Accounting or Finance Manager

in construction who is ready to own the full finance function

A highly experienced

Senior Accountant

already handling WIP, job costing and project reporting who is ready to step into leadership

What matters most is that you understand

construction accounting beyond the month-end close

and can use financial information to help operational leaders make better project decisions.

Why Consider It? This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible position where your work will directly influence project performance and the broader business.

You’ll Receive:

Base salary up to $130,000

4 weeks of vacation

Enhanced health and dental benefits

Wellness benefits and Health Spending Account

Cellphone allowance

Hybrid work flexibility

Direct exposure to executive and construction leadership

An opportunity to shape and improve the finance function as the business evolves
