Financial Controller

Platform Properties Ltd. is seeking a CPA-designated Controller to join our real estate team. This role is in-office and ideal for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys a broad scope of day-to-day responsibility and is looking to grow over time through direct mentorship and genuine exposure to how a real estate investment and development business operates. Reporting to the VP Finance, the Controller will work closely with senior leadership and the company owner in an open, collaborative environment where questions are welcomed and development is actively supported.

People Matter, Never Give Up, Trusted Developer, Connected to Our Success, and Win‑Win Philosophy. These values guide how we partner with investors, lenders, team members, and the communities in which we build.
