- $65000 $75000
- Profit sharing program
- Full benefits
A well-established profitable Canadian manufacturer with over 50 years in business is looking for a reliable detail-driven accounting professional to join a tight-knit Markham office. Part of a larger well-resourced corporate group this company punches above its weight in terms of the support infrastructure and finance expertise available to whoever sits in this seat. This is a role with real ownership real variety and the kind of stability that is increasingly hard to find.
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT:
1. Standalone ownership with a full team behind you
You are the accounting lead on the ground in Markham but you are never on your own. A full finance team at the parent company including a Controller and Assistant Controller is actively available to support guide and collaborate. You get the autonomy of a standalone role with the safety net of a much larger organization.
2. A company that actually looks after its people
Profit sharing full benefits tuition reimbursement and a culture where people stay for decades. This is not a revolving door. People build careers here and the companys track record backs that up including one of their top five revenue years ever in a challenging market year.
3. Room to grow if you want it
Do great work here and doors open. The parent company is actively growing and has a track record of recognizing talent across the group. For the right person this is a starting point not a ceiling.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
- Own the full bi-weekly payroll cycle end-to-end for a workforce of approximately 100 employees across hourly and salaried pay groups
- Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable including vendor relations and customer collections
- Reconcile balance sheet accounts and support month-end and year-end close
- Monitor bank balances and prepare management reports on customers sales and purchases
- Coordinate documentation for the annual external audit
- Report on group health RRSP WSIB and HST; act as backup administrator for benefits and RRSP programs
- Maintain bookkeeping for a related holding company (minimal activity)
- Assist with an upcoming accounting system migration to Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 3 years of hands-on accounting experience including full-cycle payroll
- Post-secondary education in accounting finance or a related field
- Experience with QuickBooks Online or a comparable accounting system
- Payroll platform experience (PayWorks knowledge is an asset; similar platforms considered)
- Strong Excel skills and comfort with the MS Office suite
- Someone who works independently stays on top of things without being reminded and has the confidence to flag something that does not look right
- A communicator who is clear professional and easy to work with across all levels of the organization
- Someone who genuinely takes pride in accuracy and getting things done the right way
THE CULTURE:
This is a 10-person office (100 total with plant) inside a company that has been operating for over 50 years. People here do not job-hop. The environment is collaborative friendly and built on genuine relationships. You will have your own private office the active support of a knowledgeable finance team and a GM who is present and accessible day-to-day. The companys values are not a poster on the wall. They show up in how people treat each other every day: be persistent be respectful be informed be dependable and always be looking for excellence.
