Controller

Good people. Meaningful work. A team that cares.

We’re looking for a hands-on Financial Controller to lead accounting across Atlas York's Group of Companies, give our leadership team a clear view of cash flow and financial performance, and build the processes we need as we grow. This is a great opportunity for someone ready to step into their first Controller role and grow with us.

We are a Saskatchewan business with a team across Saskatoon, Rosetown, Dodsland and Coleville. Together, we support our clients through insurance, group benefits, pensions and HR consulting. Relationships matter here. So does leaving things better than we found them.

The role

We’ve grown quickly, and strengthening our accounting processes is an important part of our next chapter. You’ll take ownership of accounting across all companies, working closely with our owners, executive team, and external accounting partners.

You’ll be hands-on with overseeing payroll, reconciliations, reporting and the day-to-day work, while building consistent processes and financial controls. We welcome candidates with strong accounting experience who are ready for their first Controller role. As your experience and our businesses grow, the position can develop into a more senior finance role with greater leadership and strategic responsibility.

What you’ll be doing

-Lead day-to-day accounting across all companies, including payables, receivables, invoicing and intercompany transactions.

-Own cash flow forecasting: monitor cash needs, anticipate upcoming obligations and give leadership a clear view of what’s ahead.

-Own month-end close and financial reporting, preparing accurate statements, supporting schedules and clear explanations of results.

-Prepare and process payroll, reconcile payroll and benefit accounts, and coordinate approvals and remittances with the appropriate team members.

-Complete bank, credit card and balance sheet reconciliations; investigate differences and resolve outstanding items.

-Build and document practical processes, strengthen financial controls and improve how information moves between people and systems.

-Prepare budgets and forecasts, explain variances and coordinate year-end work with our external accountants.

-Manage insurance and consulting accounting workflows, including commissions, insurer balances, premium-related accounts and consulting billing, with support to learn the industry.

What you bring

Strong practical accounting experience, including reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close and financial reporting. You’re ready to take broader ownership; previous Controller experience is not required however we would consider experienced controllers.

Experience working with multiple companies and intercompany accounts is preferred.

Accounting education or an equivalent combination of training and experience. A completed CPA designation or progress toward one is an asset.

Strong Excel and accounting systems skills, with the ability to analyze results, work with forecasts and explain what the numbers mean.

A willingness to roll up your sleeves, work through details and follow an issue through to resolution.

An interest in building processes, documenting what works and finding practical improvements.

Organization, sound judgment, discretion and the confidence to ask questions and take ownership.

Insurance experience or knowledge is a bonus. We welcome applicants who are keen to learn the industry.

What success looks like

Leadership has a clear, current view of cash flow and financial performance. Payroll is accurate and timely, reconciliations are current and month-end reporting is reliable. You build practical processes that help our team work consistently across both companies, and take on broader leadership responsibility as you grow.
