Job description
Are you a CPA with manufacturing experience who enjoys being hands-on, improving processes, and taking ownership? Our client is seeking an Accounting Manager to join their growing team in a newly created role with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

This position will provide technical oversight across the accounting function while helping strengthen processes, reporting, internal controls, and systems. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys identifying gaps, finding solutions, and helping a growing manufacturing organization build a stronger finance function.

Why This Opportunity?
This is a great opportunity for a CPA who wants to do more than maintain the status quo. As a newly created position, you’ll have the opportunity to assess existing processes, identify areas for improvement, and help shape the finance function as the organization continues to grow. If you’re a technically strong accountant with manufacturing experience, a continuous improvement mindset, and a “go-getter” attitude, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Provide leadership and technical oversight to the finance team, ensuring accuracy and strong internal controls.
  • Oversee month-end close, financial reporting, inventory, and job costing.
  • Review existing processes with a critical eye, identifying gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Improve and develop processes to increase accuracy and efficiency across the finance function.
  • Support the enhancement of financial systems, reporting, and internal controls as the organization continues to grow.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to develop and implement new processes and requirements.
  • Provide leadership, mentorship, and technical support to the accounting team.
  • Support budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and other financial analysis as required.
  • Act as a technical resource to the Finance team and provide insight to support business decisions.

What You Bring
  • CPA designation required; will consider those in final steps
  • Manufacturing experience strongly preferred; public accounting experience with manufacturing clients will also be considered.
  • Previous team leadership or supervisory experience is preferred.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability and willingness to improve processes.

This posting is for an open vacancy currently available within our client's organization. Interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to apply today. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those under consideration will be contacted.

To be eligible for this role, you must be legally eligible to work in Canada.

Please note that AI-assisted tools may be used as part of our recruitment process to support resume review and candidate shortlisting. All interview and hiring decisions remain fully human-led.
