Project Controller

Horizon Recruitment is recruiting for a Project Controller to join a well-established media production services company based in Vancouver. This role has opened due to a planned retirement in May, and they want someone to join while there is still some overlap.

This role is titled as a Project Controller due to the basic nature of the role; however, it is still a mix of project and corporate accounting. Each project is fast‑moving, tightly budgeted, and highly detailed.

• Communicate with CRA, banks, and other financial partners as required
• Strengthen internal controls and segregate duties to protect company assets
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting, and efficiency
• Provide financial insights to support leadership with business decisions

• Minimum 10 years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong background in project‑based or operational accounting
