Full benefits

A well-established, profitable Canadian manufacturer with over 50 years in business is looking for a reliable, detail-driven accounting professional to join a tight-knit Markham office. Part of a larger, well-resourced corporate group, this company punches above its weight in terms of the support, infrastructure, and finance expertise available to whoever sits in this seat. This is a role with real ownership, real variety, and the kind of stability that is increasingly hard to find.

THE CULTURE:

This is a 10-person office (100 total with plant) inside a company that has been operating for over 50 years. People here do not job-hop. The environment is collaborative, friendly, and built on genuine relationships. You will have your own private office, the active support of a knowledgeable finance team, and a GM who is present and accessible day-to-day. The company's values are not a poster on the wall.

They show up in how people treat each other every day: be persistent, be respectful, be informed, be dependable, and always be looking for excellence.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

Own the full bi-weekly payroll cycle end-to-end for a workforce of approximately 100 employees across hourly and salaried pay groups

Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, including vendor relations and customer collections

Reconcile balance sheet accounts and support month-end and year-end close

Coordinate documentation for the annual external audit
