Accounting Manager - in Office

Overview

We are searching for an Accounting Manager to take ownership of the monthly close at a growing Canadian technology company with a hardware plus subscription revenue model. The role is newly elevated and reports directly to the Corporate Controller. No polished process will be inherited; you will build it.

Base salary range: $110,000 – $125,000 CAD. Full benefits package including healthcare, bonus structure, RRSP match, and additional variable compensation to be confirmed by the hiring manager. Hybrid schedule, approximately half a day per week in office.

This is a close orchestration role. Roughly half of the seat is owning month‑end itself: checklist, journal entries, reconciliations, consolidation, and daily conversation with the Controller. The other half covers reporting, analysis, inventory and cost accounting, fixed assets, and a systems and process improvement mandate within Epicor ERP.

• Drive the month‑end close from start to finish across multiple legal entities and currencies.
• Deliver clean account reconciliations ready for Controller sign‑off.
• Handle service, deployment, and production cost allocation entries.
• Run consolidation work including inter‑company eliminations across three or more entities.
• Produce internal financial statements and supporting analysis for leadership.
• Build audit package, working papers, and supporting schedules with the Controller.
• Assess non‑routine transactions and new accounting standards.
• Feed FP&A with data for annual planning and monthly forecasting, including balance sheet roll‑forwards.
• Own accounting treatment for inventory and fixed assets, covering WIP, COS, depreciation continuity, and reconciliations.
• Coordinate physical inventory counts and reconcile results to the general ledger.
• Collaborate with the Controller and IT Systems Analyst on ERP process improvement.
• Create documentation such as close procedures, reconciliation standards, and journal entry policy.
• Maintain financial controls and drive the business toward audit readiness year‑round.
• Identify manual steps and propose improvements with business cases.

• CPA Canadian designation.
• 6 to 10 years of progressive accounting experience with at least 2 years personally running a full month‑end close across a team.
• Experience with multi‑entity consolidation, inter‑company eliminations across three or more entities in multiple currencies.
• Background in manufacturing, connected hardware, or hardware plus SaaS with inventory costing, WIP, COS, and deferred revenue.
• Solid knowledge of IFRS, ASPE, and revenue recognition for hardware, subscription, and services streams.
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort with ERP‑based GL, inventory, and consolidation modules.
• Experience with Epicor and BAQ‑style reporting is an explicit advantage.
• Ability to balance speed and accuracy; proactive, structured, and trust‑building.
• Willingness to work with incomplete information and imperfect systems and improve them over time.
• Open to using Claude and modern AI tooling to enhance workflows.

Own and track journal entries without prompting, close books on schedule, run real variance analysis, and challenge the P&L, not simply accept it.

Healthcare, bonus structure, RRSP match, and additional variable compensation. Hybrid schedule with approximately half a day in office per week.
