Financial Controller

Inspired HR is partnering with a confidential client to hire a Financial Controller for a growing, multi-entity operating business based in downtown Vancouver.

Why This Role Exists

As this organization continues to expand across multiple operating entities, financial complexity is increasing. To scale with discipline and clarity, they need a hands-on financial leader who executes not just oversees.

You will be deeply involved in the numbers, leading period-end close, preparing financial reporting, and solving real operational issues. Your work will directly inform leadership decision-making and support ongoing growth.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Financial Controller who thrives on execution. This is not a purely oversight role, you will be in the details daily, working alongside your team to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and strong financial discipline.

• Lead and mentor a small team of finance professionals—review work, coach, and step in when needed
• Drive continuous process improvement—tighten controls, streamline workflows, and reduce close timelines
• Partner with operational leaders on budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, audit preparation, and system enhancements
• Provide hands-on oversight across AR, AP, and special projects, including integrations and process transitions

• Oversight of additional entities or business units
• Strategic finance or FP&A leadership
• M&A support and post-acquisition integration
