You supervise our accounting clerks, make sure transactions are recorded accurately and on time, and play an active role in month-end close.

- Record adjusting entries (accrued liabilities, prepaid expenses, fleet depreciation, vehicle financing).
- Reconcile balance sheet accounts and prepare the working papers that support the close.
- Prepare the documents requested by the external auditors at year-end.
- Continuous improvement
- Spot repetitive tasks and suggest ways to simplify or automate them in QuickBooks Online and Excel.
- Help strengthen the team's internal controls.
Your profile
- DEC in accounting and management techniques, AEC or bachelor's degree in accounting; CPA in progress is an asset.
- At least 5 years of accounting experience, including significant month-end experience (adjusting entries, balance sheet reconciliations).
- Prior supervisory experience is an asset.
- Comfortable with QuickBooks Online (or equivalent accounting software) and strong Excel skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP or equivalent).
- Knowledge of Canadian sales taxes (GST/QST/HST); multi-entity or multi-province experience is an asset.
- Rigour, strong organization and the ability to juggle several deadlines at once.
- Supportive leadership: you give clear feedback and help the people around you grow.
- Fluent French. Working English required for exchanges with our Toronto and Vancouver entities and our suppliers outside Quebec.
Why Weeve?
