Controller - Business Builder Role

We're not looking for someone to maintain the books. We're looking for someone to build what comes next.

The Dunn Group of Companies is a high-growth, locally owned operator in the Pacific Northwest. We run at high volume, grow intentionally, and hold ourselves to a high standard - for our customers and for each other. We move fast, operate as one team, and take genuine pride in what we build together.

We're looking for a Controller who thrives in that kind of environment.

THE ROLE

This is a builder's role. You'll own the accounting function across multiple entities and two countries, lead a team that's ready to be developed, and design the systems and workflows that let us scale without losing control. You'll work directly with our CFO and CEO and be a key voice in how the finance function matures alongside the business.

One thing that sets this role apart: our marketing and advertising operation is a significant part of how we grow - in dollar volume, transaction complexity, and strategic importance. Building the systems and controls to support that investment is a defining part of this job. If you've worked in a high-volume, high-spend growth environment before, you'll know exactly what that means.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Full accounting function across all Dunn Group entities - month-end close, reporting, compliance, and cash management across BC and Alaska
• Design and implement scalable systems, policies, and procedures across both locations and countries
• Develop your team - coach junior staff, set clear expectations, build capability, and create a culture of accountability and high performance
• Build the financial infrastructure to support complex marketing and advertising spend
• Partner with the CFO and CEO on accounting methods, cash flow, and transaction structure
• Align both country teams to consistent best practices
• Identify, hire, and retain accounting talent as we grow

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• CPA designation (required)
• 7-10 years of progressive accounting and finance leadership experience
• Cross-border Canada/US accounting experience (required) - you understand the compliance, tax, and reporting differences and can manage both seamlessly
• Multi-entity and multi-location experience (required) - you've consolidated across entities and kept clean books across geographies
• A proven track record of building processes and systems, not just running them
• Experience leading and developing teams - you raise people's game
• A collaborator who can hold the line on controls without losing the room
• High energy, positive, and growth-oriented - you make teams better by being in them

OUR CULTURE

We grow fast, work hard, and genuinely enjoy what we do. Customer experience is what we live for - employee experience is how we bring it to life. If you're at your best in a place where your work has real impact, the environment is positive and supportive, and there's still plenty left to build - this is the right seat for you.
