Assistant Corp Controller

The Opportunity

StaffRight Associates is seeking a high-caliber Assistant Corporate Controller to serve as a technical linchpin for a premier organization operating at the intersection of Real Estate and Construction. This is a high-visibility, direct-hire leadership support role designed for a financial expert who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.

You will act as a strategic partner to executive leadership, ensuring fiscal integrity across a diverse portfolio. This is not a traditional "back-office" role; it is an invitation to steer complex financial operations, influence long-term growth, and manage sophisticated accounting life cycles for a stable, expanding industry leader in the Greater Ontario area.

What You’ll Do

• Orchestrate comprehensive accounting operations for a multi-faceted portfolio of construction and real estate entities.

• Engineer complex financial entries for property acquisitions, loan closings, and detailed settlement statements.

• Drive the month-end, quarterly, and annual closing cycles to ensure precision and GAAP compliance.

• Champion the audit process by synthesizing internal data and serving as the primary liaison for external examiners.

• Execute advanced job-costing methodologies to monitor project profitability and financial health.

• Manage sophisticated corporate banking activities, including cash flow optimization and multifaceted reconciliations.

• Advocate for the organization during property tax appeal processes through meticulous documentation and analysis.

• Leverage JD Edwards (JDE) to its full potential to streamline reporting and enhance data transparency.

• Synthesize raw financial data into actionable insights using advanced Excel modeling (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs).

What You Bring

• Industry Expertise: A minimum of 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience specifically within the Real Estate or Construction sectors.

• Technical Mastery: Deep hands-on proficiency with JD Edwards (JDE) is an absolute requirement for this role.

• Specialized Knowledge: Proven track record in cost segregation, job costing, and the nuances of loan closing journal entries.

• Multi-Entity Fluency: Demonstrated ability to manage concurrent financial workflows across various corporate structures.

• Analytical Rigor: Expert-level Excel skills and a sharp eye for the granular details of complex financial reporting.

• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.

• Logistical Fit: Must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of Ontario, CA (under one hour) to support on-site operations.
