Job description

Founded in 2000, Whistler Platinum is an exclusive property management and luxury accommodation company, providing homeowners with unrivaled property management and guests with exceptional accommodation, vacation planning, and personalized concierge services. Our mission is to go above and beyond, making homeownership easy and our guests’ vacations memorable.

We are seeking an experienced and high-calibre Senior Accountant to lead the financial operations of a growing vacation rental management company with a 150-unit portfolio. This hands-on role is ideal for a confident accounting leader who combines strong technical depth with the ability to guide, mentor, and elevate others.

This is a deeply operational position for someone who thrives on technical accuracy, detailed reconciliations, and ownership of the day-to-day accounting engine of the business. A core requirement of the role is mastery of the company’s “dual accounting” structure : Trust Accounting for property owners and Operating Accounting for the management company.

You will own the full accounting cycle, including guest payment audits, owner statement preparation, trust reconciliations, corporate P&L management, and month-end close. You will also supervise and mentor a Staff Accountant, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timely execution across all accounting processes while continuously strengthening controls and workflows.

This role requires a hands-on leader who is comfortable working deeply within a modern property-management and accounting software stack, with a strong focus on transaction integrity, reconciliations, and process discipline. The successful candidate will bring structure, accountability, and steady leadership to a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

If you are a technically strong accounting professional with leadership experience, high integrity, and a passion for building scalable financial operations, we encourage you to apply.

About the Role, Benefits & Perks :

  • Full-time, year-round career role.
  • Competitive salary range : $75k - $90k based on experience.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Ski / Snowboard season pass or recreational pass
  • Eligible to join the extended medical plan (Health, Dental, Life Insurance, Short Term Disability)
  • A collaborative and supportive team.
  • Supervise and mentor the Staff Accountant.
  • The opportunity to build the financial foundation of a scaling hospitality brand.

The Perfect Candidate :

  • 5+ years of “Full-Charge” accounting experience, with a strong preference for candidates with experience in Property Management or Hospitality. You must be comfortable performing data entry, reconciliation, and reporting yourself, as required, rather than delegating it to a large team.
  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance (CPA or CMA preferred but not required).
  • Proficient in Canadian accounting principles.
  • Advanced QuickBooks Online (Certification preferred) and Microsoft Excel.
  • Familiarity with vacation rental management systems (PMS) such as Guesty, Track, Hostaway, Streamline, etc., preferred.
  • Experience with accounts payable software is an asset.
  • Deep knowledge of Trust / Escrow Accounting and rigorous management of the separation of client funds.
  • What you'll do :

    You will be the “Source of Truth” for our financial health, overseeing the tech stack (PMS, QuickBooks Online, AP solution, RBC Express) that keeps our data flowing and our owners happy.

    Trust Accounting & Owner Statements

  • The “Monthly Close” : Lead the end-to-end reconciliation of guest payments, cleaning fees, and maintenance charges across 150 properties.
  • 3-Way Reconciliation : Execute the monthly 3-way reconciliation (Bank vs. PMS vs. QuickBooks) and resolve any discrepancies personally.
  • Homeowner Billing : You will supervise the Staff Accountant in the execution of daily AP / AR postings and Trust Accounting administration, ensuring data integrity across all property-level ledgers.
  • Statement Integrity : Prepare homeowner statements and monthly payouts in coordination with the reservations, operations and owner relations teams, ensuring that all vendor invoices and management fees are accurately applied.
  • Operating Accounting

  • Full-Cycle G / L Management : Own the QuickBooks Online environment for the management company, including AP / AR, bank feeds, and journal entries.
  • Revenue Recognition : Execute the transfer of earned commissions and fees from the Trust to the Operating account.
  • Payroll & HR : Oversee payroll processing for our field team (housekeeping and maintenance) and manage workers’ comp / benefits administration.
  • Financial Statements : Prepare monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial reports and statements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Canadian accounting standards.
  • Budgeting : Partner with the CEO to develop annual budgets and provide monthly “Budget vs. Actual” variance reporting.
  • Monitor cash flow and maintain appropriate controls for financial health and stability.
  • Coordinate with external accountants to prepare year-end accounts and filings as needed.
  • Provide financial guidance to the leadership team and support data-driven decision-making.
  • Supervise and mentor the Staff Accountant and the administrative support staff.
  • Compliance & Tech Stack Optimization

  • Short-term accommodation Tax Management : Ensure accurate collection and timely filing of all tax filings – GST / PST / MRDT / NR Tax filings, and corporate tax.
  • Process Automation : Assist in refining the integration between PMS and QuickBooks and collaborate on the introduction of an automated AP solution to eliminate manual data entry and reduce human error.
