Full job description

Role Overview

We are a privately held, multi-entity operating group in construction, real assets, and related businesses. We are seeking a senior, hands-on financial professional to work directly with the owner as a Personal Financial Controller.

This is not a bookkeeping, AP/AR, or junior accounting role.

This role exists to give the owner real-time financial clarity, early warning signals, and decision support across multiple operating companies.

You will sit in the Owner’s Office, working alongside (not replacing) the in-house accounting team and CFO.

What This Role Is

Owner-facing

Judgment-driven

Cash-focused

Cross-entity

Forward-looking

You will interpret, prioritize, and flag — not simply report.

What This Role Is NOT

Not an entry-level or intermediate accounting role

Not primarily AP/AR, payroll, or reconciliations

Not a compliance, tax-filing, or audit sign-off role

Not a training or “grow into it” position

Candidates seeking structure, task lists, or narrowly defined responsibilities will not enjoy this role.

Core Responsibilities

Daily / Weekly Owner Support

Maintain real-time visibility into cash, liquidity, and near-term obligations

Identify what changed, why it matters, and what requires action

Prepare concise daily and weekly owner briefs (1 page, decision-oriented)

Cash & Risk Oversight

Monitor multi-entity cash flow, intercompany balances, and timing risks

Flag early indicators of margin erosion, liquidity stress, or capital misalignment

Sense-check accounting outputs against operational reality

Decision Support

Support owner decisions on:

Capital deployment

Equipment purchases

Debt usage

Business Acquisitions and integrations

Translate complexity into clear options and trade-offs

Coordination (Not Control)

Work closely with:

In-house accounting team

CFO

External CPAs and banks

Ensure alignment without duplicating or overriding formal roles

Required Experience

7+ years of senior-level accounting or finance experience in Canada

Experience in private, multi-entity organizations

Strong exposure to cash flow management and liquidity timing

Comfortable operating with imperfect information

Experience in construction, real estate, or asset-heavy businesses is a strong asset

Preferred (Not Mandatory)

CPA designation

Controller, senior finance manager, or family-office experience

Exposure to lender reporting, covenants, or capital structures

Personal Profile

You may be a fit if:

You think in signals, not just reports

You are comfortable telling an owner when something “doesn’t feel right”

You value discretion, trust, and accountability

You prefer clarity over complexity

You can work independently without constant direction

You are not a fit if:

You prefer clearly defined task lists

You are most comfortable executing instructions rather than interpreting risk

You are primarily interested in transactional accounting work

You require complete data before forming an opinion

Why This Role Exists

As the organization grows, complexity increases faster than visibility. This role ensures the owner maintains clear, timely financial awareness without becoming the integration layer.

Compensation

Compensation will reflect seniority, judgment, and impact, not hours or volume of transactions.

How to Apply

Please submit a resume highlighting:

Owner-facing or decision-support experience

Cash flow and liquidity responsibilities

Multi-entity exposure

Cover letters that focus on judgment, insight, and decision support are strongly preferred

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Benefits:

Dental care
Extended health care
Vision care

Work Location: In person
