About the Opportunity JORI Logistics is seeking a hands-on, technology-forward Controller to lead our accounting function and ensure the integrity of our financial information. The Controller will help prepare JORI's financial statements, accounting controls, cash management, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and job-level profitability across our Canadian operations and our entities or operations in the United States, the Philippines, and Kazakhstan. We are open to candidates who have not previously held the title of Controller. The successful candidate may be an Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, Senior Accountant, or similarly capable professional who is ready to take ownership of a broader accounting function.
