Description
Position: Controller
Department: Accounting:
Location: Vancouver (555 Burrard) - Hybrid - in office Mon / Wed / Thurs or as needed.
Term: Full Time Temporary - This is a Maternity Leave coverage opportunity.
Who we are
Founded in 1982 with two small seaplanes, Harbour Air is North America’s largest seaplane airline. What started as a service for BC’s forestry industry has grown into a quintessential West Coast experience — a fleet of more than 40 aircraft, up to 200 scheduled flights a day, scenic tours, adventure packages, private flights, and aircraft maintenance. Harbour Air is owned by Birch Hill Equity Partners.
On September 15, 2026, Harbour Air announced an agreement to acquire Pacific Coastal Airlines, forming a new regional airline group serving communities across Western Canada; the deal is subject to regulatory approval.
About The Role
We’re looking for a CPA-designated accounting leader to lead our accounting team through a pivotal 12 months. You’ll own day-to-day accounting operations and the year-end audit, keep financial reporting accurate and IFRS-compliant, and lead a team of 6–7 across AR, AP, and general accounting. You’ll also play a central role in two major initiatives: supporting the integration of Pacific Coastal Airlines and preparing for significant system implementations in 2027. This is a hands-on leadership role — you’ll work closely with the CFO and senior leadership as a strategic partner and collaborate across the business to support financial performance.
