Job description

Intermediate Accountant
Confidential Search | Downtown Vancouver | In Office
Salary: $75,000 to $90,000, depending on experience

Burke Recruiting is working on a confidential search for a well-established, long-standing organization based in downtown Vancouver.

This is a great opportunity for an intermediate accounting professional who has strong accounting fundamentals and wants to continue learning, growing, and building stronger business-facing accounting skills.

This is not a pure FP&A role, and it is not a routine AP/AR position. The role is best suited to someone who enjoys hands-on accounting, month-end work, reconciliations, reporting, systems, and working with internal teams to solve questions and exceptions.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting month-end and year-end close
• Preparing journal entries, reconciliations, working papers, and supporting schedules
• Assisting with reporting, billing, invoicing, and project-related financial information
• Maintaining accurate accounting and project system data
• Working with internal teams to resolve questions, discrepancies, and exceptions
• Supporting process improvements, reporting improvements, and workflow enhancements over time
• Assisting with audit, tax, compliance, and other accounting requirements as needed
• Learning the business and growing into broader accounting responsibilities

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong general accounting knowledge, including GL, journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end close
• Experience with reporting, working papers, financial analysis, or operational accounting support
• Exposure to project accounting, professional services, engineering, consulting, construction, manufacturing, or other project-based environments would be an asset
• CPA enrollment or plans to pursue CPA would be preferred
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with accounting or ERP systems
• Clear, professional communication skills
• Ability to work well with non-finance teams
• Strong attention to detail, follow-through, and accountability
• A respectful, humble, team-oriented approach
• Someone who is coachable, curious, and interested in being mentored and developed over time

Why this role?

This is a stable, long-term opportunity with a collaborative team and strong mentorship. The company is looking for someone who wants to grow with the organization, learn the business, and become a trusted accounting partner to internal stakeholders.

Compensation and benefits:

• Salary range: $75,000 to $90,000, depending on experience
• Bonus eligibility after one year
• RRSP matching
• Travel allowance
• Excellent benefits
• Health spending account
• Paid overtime
• 7.5-hour workdays
• Professional, business-casual office environment

This is an in-office role based in downtown Vancouver.
