Construction Controller | Downtown Toronto
$100,000 - $120,000 + benefits
This isn't a corporate accounting role.
I'm working with an Ontario-based construction company in the Downtown Toronto core looking for a hands-on Construction Controller who understands how project finances actually work - not just month-end close.
They run on QuickBooks, so experience working within that environment (or something very similar) matters.
What matters:
- 5+ years in construction accounting (GC, developer, or similar environment)
- Strong understanding of job costing, WIP reporting, progress billing, and holdbacks
- Experience managing cash flow tied to active projects
- Comfortable operating in a lean team - both strategic and hands-on
- Ability to work directly with ownership, PMs, and site teams
What you'll be doing:
- Own full-cycle accounting + financial reporting
- Manage job cost tracking, forecasting, and variance analysis
- Oversee billing cycles, lien holdbacks, and subcontractor payments
- Maintain and optimize processes within QuickBooks
- Bring structure and visibility to the financial side of the business
What this is not:
- Not a high-level “review-only” Controller role
- Not a siloed finance function
- Not a place to sit removed from operations
You'll be tied directly to projects, decisions, and performance.
Compensation:
$100K – $120K base + benefits
