The company:

Our client is looking for a controller for a dental laboratory based in Oshawa.

The controller will be responsible for owning the accounting and month end close process for a growing business.

Cash flow analysis and reporting will be a key component to help shine the light on key metrics as the company scales.

This controller will be a point person for the private equity company which purchased this company and plans to grow it across Canada.

Expect a very flat corporate environment. One where they are currently developing the right systems and processes to ensure scalability in their systems.

If this company has done one thing very well, it has been servicing customers. A culture with a client centred mindset is the reason the company has been successful over 35 years. Maintaining this culture while scaling will be one of the big challenges ahead for leadership.
