Your New Company
This confidential opportunity sits within a well‑established, privately owned construction organization operating across multiple project‑based and operating entities. The business is active in a hands‑on, asset‑intensive environment, supporting complex projects and related services across several affiliated companies. Known for its entrepreneurial mindset and long‑term approach, the organization combines the pace of a growing business with the stability of an experienced leadership team and a collaborative, family‑style culture. This role will be based out of their offices in Brampton.
Your New Role
Reporting to the Corporate Controller, this General Accountant role will support the end‑to‑end accounting cycle across a group of entities, with a strong focus on intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and month‑end close. You will work closely with AR, AP, and senior finance leadership, gaining exposure to treasury activities, inventory and fixed assets, and year‑end processes.
This is a hands‑on role well suited to someone who enjoys digging into the detail, improving processes, and building a deep understanding of how multi‑entity, project‑driven businesses operate. Over time, the position offers scope to evolve into a more senior or analytical role within the team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting month‑end close across multiple entities, including journal entries and general ledger maintenance
- Performing monthly bank and balance sheet reconciliations and resolving variances
- Managing a high volume of intercompany transactions and reconciliations
- Supporting inventory accounting, variance analysis, and related adjustments
- Assisting with fixed asset accounting, including CAPEX vs. OPEX tracking and disposals
- Overseeing accounts payable activity, primarily intercompany
- Completing credit card and employee expense reconciliations
- Preparing indirect tax reconciliations and filings
- Supporting year‑end reviews and audit requests
- Assisting with system upgrades, implementations, and data validation
- Ensuring compliance with internal controls, policies, and accounting standards
What You’ll Need to Succeed
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
- 4–5+ years of progressive accounting experience
- Enrollment in the CPA program (in progress)
- Strong experience with general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and month‑end close
- Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets
- Exposure to inventory and fixed asset accounting (highly regarded)
- Experience in a project‑based, construction, or manufacturing environment is helpful but not essential
- Confident communicator who is proactive, curious, and comfortable working cross‑functionally
- Strong attention to detail, discretion, and a problem‑solving mindset
What You’ll Get in Return
- Competitive salary in the range of $75,000–$85,000, depending on experience
- Discretionary annual bonus
- Group benefits plan
- RRSP match of 3%
following probation - CPA support
and long‑term career development opportunities - Two weeks’ vacation, plus personal and sick days
- Paid office closure during the December holiday period
- Standard business hours with limited overtime outside of month‑ and year‑end
- A supportive leadership team and genuine opportunity to grow with the organization
