Financial Controller
Fully remote, head office in Toronto, ON
$100,000-$130,000 base plus bonus and other compensation available
Our client is a private, entrepreneurial real estate investment company founded over five years ago and growing at a rapid yet steady pace. They take pride in their ability to forge strong relationships, acquire and manage high quality real estate assets in Canada and the US, and consistently execute value-add projects. Their current owned and asset managed portfolio consists of multi-family residential assets. You will engage in a diverse range of responsibilities encompassing accounting, reporting, treasury, FP&A, transactions, and investor relations, ultimately offering a comprehensive view of the financial landscape. You will report directly to the CFO who is a partner in the business, but the plan will be to have you eventually take over as CFO.
This will truly be an exciting role where you will be working fully remote, being given a lot of freedom. This also comes with high expectations and while there is flexibility, people strictly looking for a 9-5 environment should not apply. Because ownership in the future is a real possibility for this role, they want someone fully committed to the growth of the business and that means putting in the hours and energy that the founders are doing themselves.

- Oversee all operational and internal accounting functions and external financial reporting
- Optimize all technology systems and platforms to help achieve strategic objectives
- Own the FP&A function, which includes the creation of monthly dashboards, forecasts, and ad hoc analysis

- Manage the cash and treasury process, with a focus on optimizing the entire function
- Responsible for all payroll, admin, HR, compliance, and corporate legal matters
- Oversee all fund and investor administration and assist with investor communications
- Provide technical and strategic support on all real estate acquisitions and dispositions
- Lead all risk mitigation initiatives and supports takeout refinancing activities
- Take a key role in the firm’s U.S. expansion which includes building out all infrastructure
- Hire, lead, inspire, coach and develop a team of accountants
- Provide timely and strategic advice to leadership and other stakeholders
Requirements:
- Degree or diploma and CPA designation
