Your New Company
Our client is a well‑established, Canadian‑based manufacturing business with a strong reputation in its niche and over three decades of operational history. The organization operates within a project‑driven environment, delivering highly customized solutions for commercial and industrial applications where quality, reliability, and technical expertise are critical.

The company is privately owned with a stable ownership structure and a collaborative, low‑bureaucracy culture. It has recently entered a period of sustained, accelerated growth, driven by increased demand across key end markets and long‑term partnerships with global equipment manufacturers. Revenue has doubled over the past year, with further expansion planned both domestically and internationally over the next several years.

The business employs approximately 65 people, with manufacturing and engineering operations based in Oakville, and customers primarily located across Canada and the United States.

Your New Role
As Senior Accountant (ref: 1124430), you will join the organization in a newly created, high‑impact role supporting a fast‑growing, project‑based manufacturing and engineering environment. Reporting to the Assistant Controller, you will be hands‑on across core accounting, AP/AR, tax, and systems, playing a key role in strengthening and scaling financial processes as the business continues to grow.
Key responsibilities include:
Core Accounting & Month End
  • Owning key elements of the accounting cycle including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and month‑end close
  • Performing bank, credit card, inventory, and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Taking on selected responsibilities currently shared by the Assistant Controller and Director of Finance
Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable
  • Managing end‑to‑end AP and AR, including invoicing, collections, payment runs, and vendor management
  • Supporting cash flow visibility through accurate tracking of receivables and payables
Tax & Compliance
  • Preparing and filing HST and U.S. state tax returns
  • Maintaining compliance with GAAP and relevant regulatory requirements
Systems & Process Improvement
  • Supporting the upcoming migration from QuickBooks to Zoho (ERP)
  • Identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve controls, and scale processes
  • Assisting with documentation of accounting policies and procedures
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Working closely with operations, sales, and leadership in a highly collaborative, low‑bureaucracy environment
  • Supporting ad hoc analysis, reporting, and special projects aligned with continued growth

What You’ll Need to Succeed
  • 4–8+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • CPA designation completed or in progress
  • Background in a small to mid‑sized organization is ideal (candidates from larger environments seeking broader exposure are welcome)
  • Experience in manufacturing or construction is an asset but not mandatory
  • Exposure to ERP implementations and familiarity with U.S. tax requirements are strong assets
  • A hands‑on, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves mindset with comfort in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment

What You’ll Get in Return
  • Salary: $90,000–$100,000 base + 8% bonus
  • Benefits: Company‑paid benefits package
  • Time Off: 3 weeks’ vacation + 5 personal/sick days
  • Work Model: Hybrid – 3 days in office / 2 days from home (flexible)
  • Hours: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., with flexible start/finish times and an emphasis on work‑life balance
  • Culture: Supportive, low‑politics environment with strong collaboration and social/team activities
  • Progression: Clear opportunity to grow into an Assistant Controller role as additional accounting staff are hired
  • Location: Oakville, ON (office moving to Burlington in Fall 2026)
