What Success Looks Like

First 90 Days

• Independently manage month-end close

6–12 Months

• Lead process improvements that improve accuracy, efficiency, or reporting timelines

• 3–8+ years of progressive accounting experience (Most recent experience in Manufacturing or project-based environments an asset)
• Strong experience with full-cycle accounting, payroll, and financial reporting
• Experience working with ERP systems

You’ll Thrive Here If You’re:

• Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
• A clear, confident communicator who enjoys collaboration
• Hands-on, proactive, and adaptable in a fast-paced environment
• Aligned with a team-first, continuous-improvement mindset
