About This Role
ClinSurge Research is a network of independent clinical research sites running trials in cardiometabolic and primary care. We're looking for a Director of Finance / Controller to take ownership of finance across all of our sites.
You'll keep the books accurate, make sure sponsors and CROs are invoiced on time and in full, and give leadership numbers they can use to decide which studies to take on. The role starts hands-on. As the team grows, so does the scope.
What You'll Do
- Lead the monthly and year-end close across all sites and entities
- Oversee sponsor and CRO invoicing, including start-up fees, screen-fail payments, pass-throughs, and other invoiceables
- Track study budgets, payment schedules, and profitability by protocol and by site
- Review CTAs and budget exhibits for financial terms and risks, and support pricing and negotiations
- Build cash flow forecasts, annual budgets, and financial models for leadership
- Oversee HST/GST, payroll compliance, corporate tax, and audits with our external accountants
- Maintain internal controls, financial SOPs, and approval workflows
- Supervise our Finance and Administration Coordinator and bookkeeping support, and hire as we grow
What We're Looking For
Required
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- CPA designation
- 7+ years of progressive finance or accounting experience, including 3 or more in a controller or equivalent lead role
- Strong knowledge of Canadian accounting standards (ASPE or IFRS) and financial controls
- Experience managing multiple entities or locations, including CAD and USD transactions
- Working knowledge of HST/GST, payroll, and corporate tax requirements
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
- Experience with accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage)
Preferred
- Experience in clinical research, healthcare, life sciences, or other regulated environments
- Familiarity with CTAs, sponsor invoicing, and clinical trial budgeting
- Familiarity with CTMS platforms and clinical trial financial workflows
- Experience supporting audits and inspections
- Prior experience in a growing or multi-site research organization
- Experience preparing SR&ED claims
Why Join Us?
- A senior seat in a growing organization
- Work that supports patient access to new treatments
- Remote-first setup with occasional on-site days in the GTA
- Collaborative team that works closely across operations, study, and site leadership
