Long View is seeking Corporate Controller for our Head Office in Calgary to oversee the financial management of Long View Systems and to provide finance and accounting expertise. This includes accounting operations, budgeting and forecasting, and assisting with developing policies and procedures.
The Corporate Controller is a critical leadership role responsible for the integrity, accuracy, and evolution of the company’s financial reporting and control environment. This is not a “steady state” role, we are looking for a Controller who thrives on improving how things work, tightening processes, and raising the bar across the finance function.
You will lead a large accounting team while also rolling up your sleeves on complex areas such as multi-entity consolidation, technical accounting, and governance. You’ll partner closely with the CFO and senior leadership to ensure financial information is not only accurate, but decision ready.
What You'll Do:
- Own the end to end accounting and financial reporting function, ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant financial statements.
- Oversee month end, quarter end, and year end close, including variance analysis and management reporting.
- Prepare monthly and quarterly reporting packages for the CFO, Executive team, and Audit Committee.
- Oversee consolidation of multiple legal entities, including intercompany eliminations, reconciliations, and reporting.
- Drive a continuous improvement mindset across accounting processes, systems, and controls. Identify inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities to simplify and standardize.
- Design, implement, and maintain a strong internal control and governance framework.
- Ensure policies, procedures, and documentation are clear, current, and consistently followed.
- Lead accounting research and technical position papers related to new standards, complex transactions, and disclosures.
- Lead, mentor, and develop a large accounting team, setting clear expectations and fostering accountability, growth, and engagement.
- Build a culture that values precision, ownership, and process discipline, while remaining collaborative and pragmatic.
- Allocate resources effectively to balance operational execution with strategic improvement initiatives.
- Partner with business leaders to provide insight into revenue, margin, expenses, cash flow, and profitability, translating financial data into actionable insights.
- Support strategic initiatives including acquisitions, joint ventures, and new business opportunities.
- Collaborate closely with FP&A, Tax, IT, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and data integrity.
- Lead external audits, including preparation of audit working papers and coordination with external auditors.
- Ensure compliance with ASPE, IFRS, and US GAAP, as applicable.
- Maintain working knowledge of Canadian and U.S. corporate tax considerations in partnership with internal and external experts.

- Experience leading sizable accounting teams within organizations of meaningful scale.
Technical & Professional Experience
How You Work:
- Exceptionally detail oriented. Errors bother you, and you instinctively look for root causes.
- Naturally inclined toward process improvement; you don’t accept “this is how we’ve always done it.”
