About Us

TAC Builders is a locally owned construction company based in Selkirk, Manitoba, specializing in the development and construction of thoughtfully designed multifamily rental communities.

Working alongside Lionheart Developments and Harvest Gate Properties, our team is involved in every stage of our projects, from development and construction through to the ongoing management of our completed properties.

We're a small, collaborative team with a growing portfolio of residential properties. Our workplace is friendly, supportive and down-to-earth. We value accountability, initiative, strong working relationships and a willingness to help one another succeed.

About the Opportunity

As our business continues to grow, we're creating a new Accountant / Accounts Payable Specialist position to support the accounting operations of our related companies.

Reporting directly to the Controller, this role offers a combination of hands‑on transactional accounting and broader accounting responsibilities.

Accounts payable, invoice processing and data entry are important components of the position. However, this is not solely an accounts payable role. You'll also be involved in multi‑entity accounting, reconciliations, job costing, month‑end and year‑end processes, fixed assets and financial reporting support.

We're looking for someone who brings a solid accounting foundation, enjoys working with numbers and details, and is interested in understanding how the different parts of a growing business work together.

You’ll initially learn our established accounting processes and systems, with the opportunity to take greater ownership of your responsibilities, contribute ideas and develop your accounting knowledge as you grow into the role.

• Prepare supporting schedules and information used in financial reporting.
• Maintain accurate accounting documentation and assist with the development of consistent accounting procedures.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and contribute practical recommendations to the Controller.

• Approximately 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a multi‑entity environment.

• Experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable and journal entries.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a small, collaborative team.
• Strong communication and problem‑solving skills.
