  • Lead the timely and accurate completion of the monthly financial close for woodlands operations, ensuring integrity of results and adherence to corporate standards, policies, and GAAP.
  • Facilitate the forecasting process and support annual budgeting and longer‑term planning, working closely with operational leaders to ensure alignment with business objectives.
  • Prepare and analyze monthly, quarterly, and annual financial results; explain variances, identify trends and risks, and recommend actions to improve performance.
  • Partner with operational teams to support cost control, productivity improvement, capital planning, and cost/benefit analysis for key initiatives.
  • Develop and maintain a strong understanding of operational and manufacturing practices to effectively translate financial information into business‑relevant insights.

  • 5 years of experience in an accountant role, preferably within the forest products industry or a related operations / manufacturing environment.

  • Ability to multi-task and drive multiple initiatives forward;
  • Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills;
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication and organizational skills;
  • Strong computer skills including Microsoft 365 suite of applications, most importantly Excel.
  • Practical experience working with ERP systems. Proficiency with JDE and other Oracle systems would be an asset.
