Job description

Excellent opportunity for a Senior Accountant who would be excited to work for a company that is experiencing year-over-year growth and that has ambitious expansion plans - as the company grows, high performers on the accounting team will also grow! Ideally seeking candidates who have worked in healthcare and/or tech, who have US GAAP financial reporting, and/or who have been involved in process improvements and financial system optimization.

Who - the Company:

Our client is a very high growth, ambitious, and successful multinational company at the exciting cross-section of healthcare and technology. The company is cash positive and has been experiencing year-over-year growth. It’s a great place for someone who

What - the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new Senior Accountant who will report directly into the Accounting Leader for the company. The Senior Accountant will have a variety of responsibilities within financial reporting (multi-entity, US GAAP, consolidations), month/quarter/year end close, financial process improvements, accounting related projects, financial system optimization, reviewing AP, etc. SWIM will provide interested candidates a full job description.

Who - the Candidate:

We are seeking senior-level accountants who are CPA designated (or who are very actively pursuing CPA) with 4+ years of relevant full-cycle accounting work experience. Qualified candidates will have experience in a large public practice accounting firm and/or industry (ideally both, but not required). The more well-rounded the accounting experience, the better! Within corporate accounting, operational accounting, financial reporting, financial systems, etc.

Experience in healthcare and/or technology (especially software as a service/SAAS) is highly preferred, but not required - as long as you are comfortable working with a sense of urgency in a very complex and fast-moving company. Experience with US GAAP and USD currency is a significant asset. Hands-on experience with an ERP is very highly preferred (Oracle, SAP, Netsuite, JD Edwards, etc.), especially if you were involved in the post-implementation customization, user adoption, and optimization phase.

Most important are the soft skills and personality traits! We are looking for people who are ambitious, intelligent, hard-working, organized, strategic, and resourceful. This company is improving processes and systems, and the leadership team would love to hire a Senior Accountant who is hungry to contribute to that positive evolution.

How Much:

The range on base salary is very wide as it really depends on the candidate’s skills, qualifications, and experience - $80,000 to $110,000, with a sweet spot of around $90,000. If candidates have many/all of the “highly preferred” pieces, that will help increase the salary. Plus bonus, benefits, paid time off, etc. Please discuss your total compensation expectations in more detail with SWIM.

Where:

Full time in Burnaby, close to a SkyTrain station. There is flexibility as needed in this role to allow for good “work life integration” (i.e., leaving work early for a medical appointment, leaving early for a long weekend after working a lot of overtime at quarter-end the week before, etc.), but for the most part the expectation for this role is Mon-Fri in office.

If you do not yet have a contact at Swim Recruiting, please hit ‘APPLY’ to send us your resume (preferably in MS Word format as it works best with our internal systems but PDF is also fine).
