CONTROLLER Calgary, AB | Onsite 5 Days/Week

A growing Canadian-based drilling services organization with operations across Canada, the United States, and Africa is seeking a hands-on Controller to partner closely with the CFO and executive leadership team.

This is a high-impact finance leadership role ideal for someone who enjoys building processes, improving systems, supporting operational decision-making, and helping scale a growing business. The successful candidate will bring a strong mix of technical accounting expertise, operational finance experience, business partnership capability, and leadership maturity. This role requires both hands-on involvement in day-to-day accounting operations and higher-level strategic financial oversight.

What You’ll Be Responsible For: • Leading the company’s accounting and financial reporting functions • Managing month-end close, consolidations, reconciliations, and financial reporting • Supporting budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and operational analysis • Partnering with operational leaders across the business • Building and improving accounting processes, systems, controls, and reporting capabilities • Delivering financial insights, KPI reporting, and variance analysis to leadership • Supporting Board reporting and executive-level financial presentations • Coordinating annual audits, tax requirements, and regulatory compliance • Supporting risk management and financial stewardship initiatives • Helping establish scalable finance infrastructure to support continued growth

What We’re Looking For: • CPA designation required • 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance leadership experience • Previous experience as a Controller or equivalent senior finance role • Experience within drilling, transportation, industrial services, energy, construction, manufacturing, or related industries strongly preferred • Strong technical accounting and financial reporting knowledge (IFRS/GAAP) • Experience within private company environments • Strong financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and operational finance capability • Experience with consolidations and multi-entity reporting • M&A exposure considered an asset • Strong leadership, communication, and business partnering skills • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Why This Role Stands Out: • High visibility role reporting directly to the CFO • Opportunity to influence systems, processes, and operational decision-making • International operational exposure • Blend of strategic finance leadership and hands-on involvement • Growing organization with strong long-term potential • Significant executive interaction and business impact
