About

Our client is a well-established, growth-oriented organization operating in the distribution and supply chain sector. Due to continued growth and internal evolution, they are seeking a high-caliber Senior Financial Accountant to play a key leadership role within the finance function. This is more than a reporting position. This role offers meaningful exposure to senior leadership, ownership of core accounting processes, and the opportunity to drive improvements that directly impact business performance. For the right individual, this position offers a path toward future leadership within finance.

What You’ll Own

  • Lead the monthly close process and deliver accurate, decision-ready financial reporting
  • Ensure balance sheet integrity, complex accruals, and inventory-related accounting accuracy
  • Drive improvements in reporting efficiency, controls, and financial processes
  • Partner with operations and sales leadership to provide actionable financial insight
  • Support and influence the annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes
  • Develop KPI dashboards and enhance visibility into margins, working capital, and profitability
  • Ensure IFRS compliance and maintain a strong internal control environment

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and contributing strategically.

Who You Are

  • CPA designated with 5+ years of progressive experience
  • Strong IFRS technical foundation with experience in inventory-driven environments
  • Confident managing month-end close with minimal oversight
  • ERP-savvy with strong Excel skills; Power BI experience is a significant asset
  • Commercially minded — you understand margin, cost drivers, and operational impact
  • Proactive, curious, and comfortable challenging assumptions
  • Able to communicate financial concepts clearly to non-financial stakeholders

Why Consider This Role?

This role offers exposure to senior leadership and cross functional decision-making. This is an opportunity to help shape and modernize the company’s financial processes.

Remuneration for this position will consists of a base salary up to $91,000, a performance bonus up to 20%, a comprehensive flexible benefits program in addition to RRSP matching program
