The Role

We are seeking an Intermediate Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-divisional setting.

• Internal Controls: Maintain procedures to safeguard company assets, including evaluating insurance coverage and overseeing internal fund-handling policies.
• Operational Partnership: Serve as a technical liaison for our project teams (Roofing, Restoration, etc.), providing them with the bookkeeping support and financial clarity they need to succeed in the field.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance is required.
• Experience: 5+ years of progressive accounting experience. Experience in the construction or service industry is a significant asset.
