Salary: $110,000–$125,000 + bonus

Position Type: New Role

About the Opportunity

Our client is a self-funded, owner-operated logistics company serving eCommerce brands across North America. The business is profitable and has grown rapidly, doubling revenue year over year.

As the company moves into its next phase of scale, this is a key hire. The Accounting Manager is a standalone role reporting to the Director of Finance & Strategy and owns month-end close from start to finish. You’ll tighten the close, then build toward automation.

This role suits a CPA who likes to build. You’ll have real ownership from day one, a leader invested in your growth, and room to bring automation and AI into how finance runs.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full month-end and year-end close
• Prepare journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet and bank reconciliations
• Reconcile billing and revenue to the GL monthly
• Deliver weekly flash reporting and variance commentary to leadership
• Prepare HST returns and oversee payroll remittances
• Review AP and prepare year-end files for external accountants
• Document close procedures and internal controls
• Find and implement automation across reconciliations and reporting

What You Bring

• CPA designation
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including owning a full month-end close
• Experience in a high-volume transactional environment
• HST return preparation experience
• Intermediate Excel skills
• Self-starter who can take ownership without close direction
• Curiosity about automation and AI in finance

Nice to Have

• Multi-entity, intercompany or US entity experience
• ASPE year-end experience
• An accounting process you improved or automated
• Experience with QuickBooks Online or other cloud finance tools
