You are detail oriented, analytical, and a self-starter. More proactive than reactive, you are a critical thinker who fairs well with unpredictability, conflicting directions, and multiple demands. You love the rush of solving complex problems and are motivated to achieve goals through your own enthusiasm. You're like a one-sided balance sheet, all assets, and no liabilities.

As the Senior Accountant, you are an integral part of the finance leadership team, responsible for accounting and reporting functions. You support the Controller and team in preparing financial statements, bank reconciliations, GST/PST tax returns, and account reconciliations. You also liaise with external accountants, prepare year-end documentation, and assist with internal and external audits. You know, accounting things.

This role is perfect for your curious mindset. This position will be based at our offices in Prospera Place, located in downtown Kelowna.

In a perfect world, you are a chartered professional accountant (CPA), or well on your way to being one, with at least 5 years of hands-on experience in a full cycle accountant role.

Advanced MS excel skills, exposure to Microsoft Dynamics, along with experience working with medium to large sized companies, will score you extra credit.
