You will work closely with the Controller and collaborate with managers across the organization, gaining exposure to financial reporting, month-end processes, budgeting, analysis, internal controls, systems, and process improvement.

We are looking for someone who is curious about the business behind the numbers, takes ownership of their work, and wants to continue developing as a well-rounded accounting professional.

• Prepare financial and operational reports for management.
• Analyze financial results, trends, margins, expenses, and variances.
• Help identify the drivers behind financial results and opportunities for improvement.
• Assist with cash flow monitoring and working capital management.
• Support inventory accounting and reconciliation.
• Assist with fixed assets, prepaid expenses, accruals, and other balance sheet accounts.
• Support the Controller in working with external accountants, auditors, financial institutions, and other professional advisors.
• Help develop and strengthen accounting processes, procedures, and internal controls.
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting and streamline financial processes.
• Work with managers across Sales, Parts, Service, and Administration to support financial understanding and accountability.
• Take ownership of assigned accounting functions and projects.
• Provide additional financial and accounting support to the Controller as required.

Who We're Looking For

You have already built a strong accounting foundation and are looking for an organization where you can continue to grow professionally and take on greater responsibility.

Ideally, you bring:

• 3–7 years of progressive accounting or finance experience.
• Post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related discipline.
• Experience with general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and month-end processes.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data.
• Experience with accounting, ERP, or business management systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent accuracy and attention to detail while still being able to see the bigger picture.
• The ability to organize priorities and meet deadlines.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with managers throughout the organization.
• A desire to learn, take ownership, and continually expand your responsibilities.

Experience in a dealership, distribution, equipment, transportation, construction, or other operationally focused business would be considered an asset.
