  • Paid downtown parking
  • Enjoy extra perks like paid office closure between Christmas and New Year’s and a fun, team-oriented culture
What You’ll Be Doing as the Controller
  • Prepare, analyze, and present monthly and annual financial statements to leadership and the board
  • Lead annual budgeting and support department heads with insights and forecasting
  • Full-cycle accounting operations including AP, AR, and period end reconciliations
  • Manage financial and grant reporting, CRA compliance, and the annual audit process
  • Drive improvements in internal controls

About You as the Controller
