They’re a close-knit team that values a positive attitude, collaboration and continuous improvement. They’re adding a Senior Accountant to their leadership team, someone who wants to have a real impact on how the business runs and grows.

The role

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll lead a small accounting team while staying close to the day-to-day work. You’ll partner with senior leadership on business decisions and work closely with operations to keep billing accurate, costs tracked and cash flowing.

• Lead, coach and develop the accounting team.
• Work with operations and sales to improve workflows and make sure all project costs are captured.
• Take part in leadership meetings and planning sessions.

What you bring

• An accounting diploma or degree. A CPA designation or progress toward one is an asset, not a requirement.
• 10+ years of accounting experience in an operating company (industry, not public practice).
• Experience leading or mentoring a small team. Senior accountants ready to step up are welcome.
• Experience with project, job-cost or progress billing in manufacturing, construction or a similar environment.

• A seat on the leadership team, with real influence on business decisions.
• A collaborative, family-style culture that values its people.
