Senior Accountant

Company: GLP Canada

Location: Mississauga, ON, with regular travel between our three branches in Mississauga and Oakville

Reports To: Controller

Employment Type: Full-Time, Onsite (hybrid after the first 6 months)

Hours: Monday to Friday, full-time

Salary: $80,000–$100,000 per year, based on experience, plus bonus

About the Role

The Senior Accountant is a hands-on CPA and team lead who brings fresh eyes to how we work. You'll lead our AR, AP and accounting team, keep the month-end close and reconciliations running smoothly, and champion automation and process improvement across finance. You'll also play a key role as we move to a new ERP. If you're a curious, tech-savvy accountant ready to step into a team lead role, we'd like to talk.

What Will You Do?

• Lead, coach and support the AR, AP and accounting team, including running month-end huddles and helping grow the team.
• Travel regularly between our branches to support the team, build strong working relationships and keep finance processes consistent across sites.
• Oversee the month-end close and balance sheet reconciliations across our Canadian and U.S. entities, supporting a 5–6 working day close.
• Oversee AR posting and invoicing, and review payment runs before approval.
• Update the consolidation model and prepare consolidation, intercompany and foreign currency entries.
• Maintain the fixed asset register, inventory reserves and month-end workbooks, including rebates and warranty provisions.
• Drive AP automation and process improvement, using tools such as Power Query, Power Automate, Power BI and AI to take manual work out of the process.
• Play a key role in the ERP migration: documenting requirements, cleaning and mapping data, testing and helping train the team.
• Prepare GST/HST and PST filings, and support commodity tax compliance.
• Prepare audit schedules and supporting documentation for the year-end audit, and entity information for corporate tax filings.
  
  

What Do You Bring?

• CPA designation (required) and a degree in accounting or finance.
• 4–6 years of recent, progressive accounting experience, including 1–2 years leading or managing accounting staff, and month-end close and reconciliations in a multi-entity environment.
• If you're an experienced accountant who has recently stepped into a management role, we'd still love to hear from you, as long as you're ready to take full ownership of a team.
• Hands-on experience with consolidation and intercompany eliminations.
• Experience with tax, including preparing GST/HST and PST filings.
• Tech-savvy, with advanced Excel skills (including Power Query), which will be assessed during the interview process.
• Experience with multiple ERP systems; Sage 100, Sage 300 or NetSuite experience is a strong asset.
• A curious, agile approach and a Lean, continuous improvement mindset, with real examples of automating manual processes.
• A leader who brings fresh perspective, isn't afraid to challenge how things are done, and takes the initiative to find solutions independently.
• Ambitious and motivated to grow your career within the organization.
• Manufacturing or distribution experience is preferred.
• Commodity tax experience is a strong asset.
• Bilingualism (English and French) is an asset.
  
  

What Do We Offer?

• The tools, resources, and support to succeed, along with opportunities to learn, develop, and grow your career with GLP.
• Opportunity for advancement and growth as a team lead.
• A key role in modernizing our finance function, from automation to a new ERP.
• A workplace where work-life balance is not only valued, but prioritized.
• A diverse, inclusive, and collaborative team culture, with company events and on-site parking.
• Comprehensive health benefits, including dental and extended health care, plus a bonus.
  
  

How You'll Make an Impact
