Senior Accounting Manager

This critical position will consist of both advanced accounting functions and team management. You’ll be a technical expert for our accounting team.

On the technical side, you’ll need to have a very strong understanding of QuickBooks. In terms of management, you’ll need strong communication and leadership ability. Every team is a bit different; you have the awareness and flexibility to make the most out of a small accounting team.

Specifically, you will:

• Maintain accurate financial statements and reporting
• Prepare annual budgets, quarterly forecasts, and strategic analyses that drive improved decision making
• Prepare and present financial information for quarterly and annual reports
• Establish and maintain accounting best practices to ensure smooth business operations
• Provide technical assistance on the use of accounting software packages
• Review and monitor compliance with all accounting and financial internal controls
• Analyze and assess departmental cost procedures and controls
• Oversee accounts payable and receivable invoices/billing functions as required
• Work with sales and management on product pricing, costing and margins
• Direct and coordinate financial planning and budget management functions
• Recommend benchmarks for measuring the financial and operating performance of the departments
• Direct financial audits and provide recommendations for procedural improvements
• Establish and maintain cash controls, the general ledger and supplier accounts
• Oversee direct reports including accounts receivable, accounting administrator, administrative assistant
• Provide coaching and mentoring to staff members

• Monitor and analyze monthly operating results and expenditures against targets and budgets
• Prepare financial outlooks and forecasts
• Ensure compliance with local, provincial and federal reporting requirements
• Direct financial audits and provide recommendations for procedural improvements
• API integration
• Overseeing grant submissions
• Amortization assets
• Other duties, as assigned.

The best in this role will do more than make good projections and develop talent: they’ll bring initiative and oversight to our financial operations, ensuring that the entire team has a shared sense of purpose while working towards shared goals.
