Employment Type: Contract (3 to 6 months), 3 to 4 days per week

Rate: $65 to $75/hr

Position Type: Backfill

About the Opportunity
Our client is a well-established office technology dealership in the GTA. Roughly 80% of the business is equipment sales, leasing and service, supported by a smaller managed IT services line. Billing and contract activity runs through an industry-specific system built for the dealer model, and results roll up directly into the financials.

This Interim Controller / Accounting Manager contract backfills the finance leadership seat. You’ll lead month-end, payroll, AP/AR oversight and year-end, working with two finance administrators who handle most of the transactional work. There is no formal month-end package. The focus is on complete, accurate billing and invoicing, with clean numbers going straight to a CEO who is closely tuned in to costs and revenue.

The business is also moving through a systems transition, including a CRM change and a possible replacement of its core operating platform. That brings a journal entry conversion project over roughly six months. If you like owning the finance function end to end, working directly with the CEO and improving reporting as you go, you’ll have real influence from the first week.
