Description
Our client, a Canadian technology company pioneering sustainable solutions for the extraction and recovery of critical and precious metals is looking to hire a Corporate Controller for their growing team.
About the Opportunity
Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, the Corporate Controller will lead the accounting function and oversee a team of three accounting professionals. This is a hands-on leadership role well suited to a CPA with a strong public practice foundation who enjoys working in a growing, entrepreneurial environment and wants to have a meaningful impact on processes, reporting, and the overall finance function.
The successful candidate will bring strong technical accounting capabilities, a practical approach to process improvement, and the ability to communicate financial information effectively to senior leadership, the Board, and external stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead and oversee the accounting function, providing mentorship, guidance, and leadership to a team of three accountants.
• Own and oversee the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.
• Prepare and review IFRS financial statements, including supporting schedules, disclosures, and technical accounting memos.
• Prepare MD& A and financial reporting materials for the Board and external shareholders.
• Partner closely with the CFO and senior leadership on financial reporting, accounting matters, and business initiatives.
• Oversee the preparation of tax working papers and coordinate with external tax advisors as required.
• Manage and coordinate the annual audit and external reporting process, acting as a key point of contact for external auditors.
• Ensure appropriate accounting policies, internal controls, and financial processes are established and maintained.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiencies, and strengthen internal controls as the organization continues to scale.
• Oversee accounting requirements related to SHRED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) and other government funding/tax incentive programs.
• Manage accounting and reporting associated with the company's stock-based compensation plan.
• Support the CFO with financial analysis, technical accounting research, ad hoc projects, and other strategic initiatives.
• Contribute to building scalable accounting infrastructure and best practices to support the company’s growth.
What We're Looking For
• CPA designation with a strong foundation in public practice; experience in audit and/or assurance is highly valued.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and experience preparing financial statements under IFRS.
• Strong understanding of month-end and year-end accounting and financial reporting.
• Experience preparing or reviewing MD& A, technical accounting memos, and Board-level financial reporting.
• Previous leadership or people-management experience, with the ability to mentor and develop an accounting team.
• A continuous-improvement mindset with a demonstrated ability to identify opportunities to create efficiencies and improve processes.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex accounting matters into clear, concise information for non-financial stakeholders.
• Industry experience in mining, manufacturing, technology, or another complex operating environment is considered a strong asset.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing Vancouver-based Canadian technology company.
