Job description

We are recruiting a Senior Accountant for an established, privately held manufacturing and distribution group headquartered in Chilliwack. Permanent role, with full ownership of the accounting cycle across three related entities.

This is a full cycle seat. You own the books end to end, from source transaction through to trial balance and month-end close, rather than handling one part of the cycle.

What you will own

• Full cycle accounting across three related entities, from source transaction through to trial balance
• Month-end close: journal entries, accruals, prepaids and all supporting working papers
• Bank, credit card and intercompany reconciliations across the group
• AP, AR and payroll, including remittances, T4s and records of employment
• GST, PST and WorkSafeBC filings
• Year-end working papers and liaison with the external accountants
• Review of entries posted by junior AP and AR staff, catching coding errors before close
• Process improvement and documentation across the finance function

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of full cycle accounting with genuine ownership through to trial balance. This is the single most important requirement
• Demonstrated month-end close ownership, not close support
• Multi-entity experience including intercompany reconciliations
• Payroll processing experience
• Strong systems aptitude. The group runs an industry specific ERP, so learning a demanding system quickly matters more than any one platform
• Manufacturing, distribution, construction or building supply background is a strong asset
• CPA is not required. This is a hands on role, not a designated reporting seat
• Within a daily commute of Chilliwack. On site five days a week, no remote or hybrid option

What is on offer

• $75,000 to $85,000 depending on experience
• Extended health, dental and vision
• Life and disability insurance
• Employee assistance program
• A small finance team where the scope is real and the work is visible
