Venor is excited to partner with Nexco Group on their search for a Controller to join their team based in Dartmouth, NS.

Nexco Group is a proudly Nova Scotian, integrated group of companies delivering trusted solutions across civil construction, traffic control, and infrastructure services. Through its divisions, Nexco Construction, Nexco Traffic Control, and Nexco Environmental, the company plays a vital role in building and maintaining the infrastructure that supports communities across Nova Scotia. With expertise spanning mass excavation, site development, demolition, road building, highway structures and bridges, retaining walls, and traffic management, Nexco Group is known for its commitment to safety, quality, reliability, and collaboration. Driven by a passion for excellence and a people-first approach, Nexco partners with clients to successfully deliver projects that contribute to Nova Scotia’s continued growth and development.

About the Role:

As the organization continues to experience significant growth, Nexco Group is seeking an experienced Controller to join its leadership team. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, the Controller will play a critical role in overseeing the day-to-day accounting operations of the organization while providing financial insight to support strategic decision-making.

As the Controller, you will work closely with operational leaders to ensure project financial performance is accurately monitored and reported while helping the company scale its financial processes, systems, and controls to support future growth.

Key Responsibilities:

Financial Management & Reporting:

Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
Manage and ensure accurate and timely month-end and year-end close processes.
Monitor financial performance and provide analysis on key business metrics and trends.
Support annual budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning processes.
Prepare reporting packages for senior leadership and external stakeholders.

Accounting Operations:

Oversee all accounting functions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, general ledger, and account reconciliations.
Manage and mentor accounting team members, including AP/AR personnel.
Develop internal financial policies and ensure compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations.
Coordinate year-end financial reviews and work closely with external accountants, advisors, and regulatory stakeholders.

Cash Flow & Working Capital Management:

Develop and maintain cash flow forecasts and working capital reporting.
Monitor cash positions and provide recommendations to support operational and growth objectives.
Identify financing requirements to support growth initiatives, assist in securing financing arrangements, and manage ongoing lender relationships and reporting obligations.

Project & Operational Support:

Support project accounting, job costing, and profitability analysis.
Work closely with operational leaders to monitor project performance and financial results.
Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, reporting, and internal controls.
Assist with system improvements and implementation of best practices across the finance function.

Qualifications & Experience:

CPA designation preferred.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including leadership responsibilities.
Experience in construction, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing, or other project-based industries is strongly preferred.
Demonstrated expertise in project accounting, including committed cost management, cost-to-complete analysis, and project profitability reporting.
Advanced proficiency with ERP/accounting systems and Microsoft Excel.
Strong understanding of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.
Demonstrated ability to lead teams, identify and implement financial controls, and support business growth while remaining hands-on in daily financial activities.

What We’re Looking For:

Strong business acumen and problem-solving abilities.
High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
Ability to communicate financial information clearly to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
Proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to operate strategically and tactically.
Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to take ownership, influence strategy, and earn a long-term stake in the company’s success within a team that has built an inspiring culture through open and honest collaboration, dedication to everyone’s personal growth, and most notably; motivated by a positive team attitude.

We embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, what you believe in, or who you love, we welcome your application. We all come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, bringing in unique perspectives and experiences.
