Manufacturing Accounting Controller F/H

Financial Controller
A manufacturing SME in Centre-du-Québec is undergoing a real transformation phase.

The company is well-established, growing, and has just entered a new stage of its development: new management, ambitions outside Quebec, internal improvement projects, ERP implementation, structuring of finance processes, and a more mature reporting context.

We are looking for someone who enjoys building, structuring, and making things more solid.

Someone who wants to become the anchor point of accounting on a daily basis.

Reporting to the VP of Finance, the person will take charge of operational accounting and act as a right-hand person on the ground.

Specifically, they will supervise a small accounting team, structure month-ends, improve processes, ensure a rigorous first review, and contribute to making the finance function more fluid, reliable, and less dependent on a single person.

The mandate is very concrete:

supervise current accounting activities;
oversee payables, receivables, billing, and month-end entries;
improve procedures and internal controls;
participate in the implementation of a new ERP;
support the VP of Finance in the quality of reporting;
become an accessible reference for the accounting team.
We are looking for a solid person in accounting, meticulous, autonomous, and capable of taking ownership.

The CPA title is an asset, but it is not mandatory. A bachelor's degree in accounting with good field experience can be very suitable.

good experience in operational accounting;
functional to fluent English, both spoken and written.
The company is small enough for decisions to move quickly, but structured enough to offer great exposure: financing, board of directors, investors, growth outside Quebec, system improvements, and transformation projects.

The VP of Finance is looking for someone trustworthy, capable of working autonomously, but also with a real sense of accountability. The atmosphere is human, flexible, and direct, but expectations are clear: things must be done well.

Permanent position
Target bonus of 10 %
This is an opportunity to take on an accounting function that needs structure, method, and leadership, and then evolve it in a growing company.

For someone who enjoys being close to operations, working with an accessible VP of Finance, and quickly seeing the effect of their improvements, the ground is very interesting.
