Robert Half is supporting a search for a Corporate Controller with a Canadian public company in the mining / natural resources space, entering an important growth phase tied to an operational restart.

Reporting to the CFO, this role is a blend of hands‑on technical accounting leadership (approx. 65–70%) and budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis (approx. 30–35%). The Controller will play a key role in strengthening financial reporting, audit processes, internal controls, and performance reporting as the business scales.

Key Responsibilities:



Financial Reporting & Public Company Disclosure

• Lead quarterly consolidation and preparation of IFRS financial statements
• Prepare quarterly and annual MD& A and support continuous disclosure filings (SEDAR+, exchange reporting)
• Ensure accuracy of disclosures, footnotes, and financial sections of press releases and investor materials
• Maintain accounting policies, procedures, and chart of accounts

Audit, Technical Accounting & Controls

• Act as primary contact for external auditors for quarterly reviews and annual audit
• Prepare audit schedules, manage timelines, and address management letter items
• Research and document complex technical accounting matters (IFRS), including mining‑specific areas (e.g., depletion, ARO, capitalization)
• Design, maintain, and enhance internal controls over financial reporting

Budgeting, Forecasting & Analysis

• Lead annual corporate budget and quarterly forecasts in partnership with operations and site finance
• Consolidate site‑level budgets with corporate overhead
• Perform variance analysis and provide insights to support operational and strategic decision‑making
• Support board and lender reporting alongside the CFO and site finance leadership

Cash, Treasury & Leadership

• Support liquidity planning, covenant compliance, and cash management
• Work closely with site finance to ensure consistency across reporting and controls
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship as the finance function evolves

Ideal Profile

• CPA designation
• 8+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience
• Public company financial reporting experience (MD& A, audits, regulatory filings)
• Strong IFRS and technical accounting background
• Mining / natural resources or other asset‑heavy industry experience strongly preferred
• Comfortable balancing detailed execution with senior‑level business partnering

Compensation & Setup

• Remote today, with an expected move to hybrid (downtown Toronto) within ~12 months
• Occasional site travel (approximately quarterly)
