Financial Controller
Toronto, ON
$85,000-$95,000 (plus benefits)
Posted on September 2, 2021.
Our client is a growing Real Estate company located in Toronto. We are looking for an Accountant to handle commercial property accounting, payroll functions, invoicing, budgeting and forecasting and all accounting/finance functions for this small yet stable company.
Reporting to the owners, the Controller will be given lots of freedom and flexibility which is a key selling feature. The owners are results-focused so as long as the work is getting done, they will give full autonomy to the Financial Controller. If you wish to start at 7am and leave early, totally fine. We are looking for a very trustworthy accountant due to the confidential nature of the work at hand. If you would like to join a very well-respected real estate company that has been around for decades and has no mortgages on their owned-properties, apply now!
