Job Overview

IVEY Group is a Northern Ontario-based organization with offices in Sudbury and Timmins and a recognized leader in workforce solutions and immigration services for Canada's heavy industries, with a strong focus on the mining sector. Recognized by The Globe and Mail as one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies for three consecutive years, we have built our reputation on delivering exceptional service, creating innovative workforce solutions, and building trusted, long-term relationships with our clients.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Controller to lead and take ownership of our finance and accounting function.

This is a hands-on leadership role with significant responsibility and visibility across the organization. As the senior full-time finance leader in the business, you will serve as the CEO’s primary day-to-day financial partner, and lead our accounting team. You will have end-to-end responsibility for financial reporting and close, cash flow and banking, budgeting and forecasting, working capital, compliance, internal controls, and management reporting across the group.

The position is being established as part of a planned evolution of our finance and leadership structure. You will join during a defined transition period and work alongside our current Controller, providing you with the chance to develop a strong understanding of the business, our financial operations, and key stakeholder relationships. You will also have access to ongoing senior-level financial and strategic support as the finance structure evolves. The expectation is that you will assume full day-to-day operational ownership of the finance function by January 2027. We are looking for someone who can do more than produce accurate financial statements. The right person will understand the business behind the numbers, bring financial discipline and insight to decision-making, develop a strong accounting team, and become a trusted financial partner to the organization.

What you'll own

· The full month-end, quarter-end,



and year-end close across multiple entities, including intercompany and consolidation

· Cash flow forecasting, banking, and working capital — this group's banking sits with you

· Annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, and forward-looking financial planning

· Management reporting and decision support for the CEO and Executive Team, including clear recommendations based on financial performance

· AP and AR end to end, including collections performance and aged receivable management

· Finance oversight of payroll for both operating companies

· Statutory compliance: HST, source deductions, WSIB, EHT, corporate filings, and audit readiness

· Internal controls, approval authorities, and finance process documentation

· Financial systems, process improvement, data integrity, and the financial information supporting management dashboards and KPIs

· Leadership and development of the accounting and finance team

· Accounting for the group's property holdings — leases, rent, recoveries, and reconciliations

· Pricing, margin, client/project profitability, and commercial analysis across IVEY Group and Rock Solid Resources

· The relationship with our external accountants, and monthly reporting to the Executive Team

What we're looking for

· CPA designation in good standing

· Approximately 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience

· You have personally owned full-cycle close, cash forecasting, financial statement preparation, statutory compliance, management reporting, and the external accountant relationship

· Multi-entity experience — intercompany, consolidation,



and the discipline that comes with it

· Experience supervising and developing accounting staff

· Strong Canadian statutory compliance knowledge and advanced Excel

Assets, not requirements: experience in staffing, professional services, construction, mining, or industrial environments; property or real estate accounting; government funding and grant reporting (NOHFC and similar); bilingualism (English/French).

Why this role

· Genuine ownership of a finance function, with a Fractional CFO providing strategic support on capital structure, financing, complex transactions, and longer-term planning rather than a layer of day-to-day approval

· A seat with the Executive Team — you'll present at our monthly Executive meeting, not just close the books

· A defined transition mandate

· A growing multi-entity group with acquisitions and new locations in play

· Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, meaningful executive exposure
