About the Opportunity

Are you a skilled accounting professional who loves leading a team, solving problems, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes? We're working with a fantastic client in the commercial construction and design-build space to help them find their next Senior Accounting Manager.

This full-time, on-site role is based in Etobicoke, and it's perfect for someone who's ready to roll up their sleeves, take ownership, and make a real impact. You'll be reporting to a VP who oversees Finance, HR, IT & Admin — and who values collaboration, clear communication, and people who take initiative.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll help keep the company's financial engine running at full speed. Your day-to-day will include:

Day-to-Day Accounting

• Oversee accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and banking

• Make sure vendor invoices are posted accurately and coded properly

• Manage cash flow and ensure everything reconciles correctly

• Stay on top of government filings and corporate tax payments

Leading the Team

• Support and manage a small but mighty accounting team

• Help prioritize their work, answer questions, and keep things moving

• Encourage professional development and process improvements

Month-End & Financial Reporting

• Lead the monthly close (target: done by the 15th!)

• Review and post journal entries

• Analyze Work in Progress (WIP) for active projects

• Prepare financial reports: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow

Billing & Cash Flow

• Coordinate with operations to keep project billing on track

• Monitor receivables and follow up as needed

• Manage vendor payments while keeping an eye on cash

Systems & Process Improvements

• Be the go-to expert on the accounting system (QuickBooks Online)

• Manage access, troubleshoot issues, and help with upgrades or integrations

• Support the company through an upcoming system transition — previous experience helping implement or switch accounting systems is a big plus!

• Identify ways to streamline and automate

Year-End & Compliance

• Get everything ready for audits and tax season

• Keep financial processes and internal controls in good shape

✅ What We're Looking For

• CPA designation (or in progress) is strongly preferred

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience

• Experience managing or mentoring other accounting professionals

• Comfort working in construction or project-based environments (nice to have!)

• Solid grasp of GAAP, internal controls, and cash flow

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Excel

• Excellent communicator with a keen eye for detail
