About Us
Enkel is a cloud‑based accounting and financial operations firm serving 300+ Canadian businesses and not‑for‑profits. Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, timely, and decision‑ready financials so our clients can build stronger organizations.

We believe great financial reporting should do more than check compliance boxes. It should help leaders make better decisions, grow their organizations, and create meaningful impact.

Our team moves fast, embraces technology, and constantly pushes the bar higher for financial clarity and client service. If you care deeply about using financial data to drive real‑world decisions, you will fit right in.

About The Role
We are seeking a client‑focused Controller to lead a portfolio of clients and elevate the financial experience we deliver. This is not a traditional back‑office accounting role. You will act as a trusted financial partner to founders, executive teams, and non‑profit leaders, helping them understand and use their financial data to run stronger organizations.

You will lead financial strategy for your clients while also mentoring and guiding our internal accounting team. Your work will directly impact how our clients plan, grow, and make critical decisions.

This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with non‑profit leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners, helping them translate financial data into insight and action.

At Enkel, Controllers play a critical role in delivering client excellence by raising the bar for both financial clarity and service quality.
