FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

Vancouver, BC | Full-Time | On-Site

ABOUT STRIVE

STRIVE Recruitment is a specialist recruitment firm offering proactive recruitment solutions in the areas of Accounting & Finance, Corporate Administration, Operations and Technology. We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with both clients and candidates by delivering an exceptional recruitment experience rooted in honesty, transparency, and market expertise.

THE CLIENT

Our client is a Vancouver-based, purpose-driven consumer products company that has built an impressive global presence through innovation, creativity, and a commitment to sustainability. Their products are trusted by thousands of businesses around the world, helping brands deliver exceptional customer experiences while reducing their environmental impact.

Despite their international success, they've maintained an entrepreneurial and collaborative culture where employees are empowered to take ownership, embrace new ideas, and continuously improve. With ambitious growth plans and continued international expansion, they are investing heavily in their finance function and are seeking an experienced Financial Controller to help support the next stage of their journey.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Reporting directly to the VP Finance, this is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced Controller to take ownership of the finance function within a high-growth international business. You'll lead financial reporting, treasury, compliance, controls, and process improvement across multiple global entities while partnering closely with senior leadership on strategic initiatives.

This is far more than a traditional Controller position. You'll play a key role in building scalable finance processes, driving automation and continuous improvement, mentoring a growing team, and helping shape the financial infrastructure needed to support the organization's continued global expansion.

Global Impact – Join a fast-growing international business with operations spanning multiple countries and markets.

Build & Influence – Play a pivotal role in developing a world-class finance function while partnering directly with executive leadership.

Purpose-Driven – Be part of a company that's helping businesses around the world reduce their environmental footprint through innovative, sustainable solutions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close across multiple international entities, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.
  • Prepare consolidated financial statements, management reporting, variance analysis, and executive commentary for senior leadership.
  • Own treasury activities, including global cash flow forecasting, working capital management, and banking relationships.
  • Lead the annual audit process and manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and financial institutions.
  • Strengthen financial controls, governance, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Drive continuous improvement across finance systems, reporting processes, and automation initiatives.
  • Partner with leaders across operations, commercial, marketing, and supply chain to provide strategic financial insights.
  • Prepare board-level reporting and support financing and future growth initiatives.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the finance team while building scalable processes to support international growth.

WHAT YOU BRING

We're looking for a commercially minded finance leader who enjoys building, improving, and scaling finance functions within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

The successful candidate will bring:

  • CPA designation (or international equivalent).
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including leadership within a Controller or Finance Manager capacity.
  • Experience managing consolidated financial reporting across multiple entities.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge, including IFRS and/or US GAAP.
  • Experience with multi-currency accounting and international operations.
  • A proven track record of strengthening financial controls and improving reporting processes.
  • Strong systems aptitude with advanced Excel skills and experience working with modern accounting software and ERP platforms.
  • An engaging leadership style with the ability to build relationships across all areas of the business.
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to thrive in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.

Bonus points for experience in

  • Consumer products, manufacturing, distribution, or inventory-based businesses.
  • International supply chain finance.
  • E-commerce and/or B2B business models.
  • US tax compliance, transfer pricing, or global finance operations.
  • Finance transformation, systems implementation, or AI-enabled automation.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business that's making a genuine impact while continuing to grow on a global scale. You'll have the opportunity to influence strategic decisions, build a best-in-class finance function, and work alongside an ambitious leadership team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

In return, you'll enjoy:

  • A highly visible leadership role with direct access to executive leadership.
  • The opportunity to build and modernize a world-class finance function.
  • Exposure to international operations and complex, multi-entity finance.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where your ideas are encouraged and valued.
  • Long-term career growth with a rapidly expanding global organization.
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.

If you're an experienced Controller looking to make a meaningful impact within a growing international business, we'd love to hear from you.
