CarePros•Edmonton, AB

3d•CA$80,000 - CA$92,000•Onsite

About The Position

At CarePros, finance is more than reporting and compliance; it is a critical driver of sustainable growth, operational excellence, and organizational impact. We are seeking a seasoned and strategic Controller to lead and oversee the financial operations of CarePros and its related entities. This role is ideal for an experienced finance leader who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments and brings proven experience managing multi-entity organizations, financial strategy, operational accounting, and team leadership. The Controller will play a key role in strengthening financial infrastructure, supporting executive decision-making, ensuring regulatory compliance, and helping position the organization for continued growth and diversification. This is not an entry-level leadership opportunity. We are looking for someone who has successfully operated in a Controller capacity before and can confidently lead sophisticated financial operations with minimal oversight. Working closely with executive leadership, the Controller will oversee day-to-day accounting functions, financial reporting, forecasting, cash flow management, budgeting, audit coordination, and financial process optimization across multiple entities and business streams.
