Are you a CPA or seasoned controller who has owned the full-cycle close, built the reporting, and lived through an ERP rollout and are ready for something broader than one company's books? OERP Canada is seeking a Senior Accounting Consultant to bring that operator's expertise to dozens of Canadian businesses. This is the accounting career that trades the single-company ceiling for variety, client impact, and a genuine path forward.

The opportunity

Bring Your Accounting Expertise to a Consulting Career This is a specialized role where you will serve as the financial backbone of our ERP implementations. Instead of running the books for a single organization, you will apply everything you know:
Chart of Accounts design, reconciliation, period closes, financial reporting, and compliance; across a diverse portfolio of Canadian businesses. As a Senior Accounting Consultant, you will translate complex financial requirements into functional ERP configurations, safeguard data integrity, and provide the strategic insight that helps clients thrive. It is a unique blend of financial expertise, systems consulting, and client-facing strategy, with the breadth and growth that a single accounting department rarely offers.

Is This You?

Who We're Looking For You may be a controller, assistant controller, or senior accountant who has hit the ceiling at a company too small for a CFO, or a finance professional who wants to escape the up-or-out grind and do work with more variety and impact. You have owned full-cycle accounting, you understand how the numbers really flow through a business, and you have been through at least one ERP implementation or migration (even as the finance stakeholder rather than the person configuring it).

You are ready to turn that hard-won operator's knowledge into a consulting practice and we will teach you Odoo along the way.
