Job description

An experienced CPA, you're at your best where the answers aren't all written in advance. Navigating ambiguity, making judgment calls in grey areas, and structuring the processes of a growing company: does that light you up? We've got the perfect challenge for you!

Reporting to the Director of Finance, you'll oversee the full accounting cycle, the preparation of financial statements (ASPE), tax filings, and internal controls, while also contributing to budgeting and cost accounting related to our manufacturing operations. A strategic role where your technical expertise and judgment truly make a difference. Sounds like you? We can't wait to meet you!

Garaga's benefits:

  • Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan - 4% employer contribution (DPSP);
  • Registered Retirement Savings Plan;
  • Free virtual healthcare services;
  • Group Insurance Plan (Medical, Paramedical, Disability and Life);
  • Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP);
  • Recognition of years of service;
  • Several activities organized by the social club (participation is always on a voluntary basis), drawings for all kinds of cultural and sports events as well as $100 credit for clothing items per year;
  • Well-designed integration program for new employees.

Position summary:

  • Starting date: As soon as possible
  • Number of positions to fill: 1
  • Salary: To be discussed
  • Job Status: Permanent
  • Remote/On-site: Hybrid (3 days per week at Barrie Plant)
  • Schedule: Full-time
  • Shift: Day, Monday to Friday

Key responsibilities of the Director of Accounting:

  • Oversee the entire accounting cycle: general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll.
  • Produce accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with ASPE, and meet closing deadlines.
  • Oversee tax filings (GST/HST, QST) and corporate income tax, and coordinate external audits with auditors and tax advisors.
  • Design, implement, and monitor financial internal controls as well as governance and risk management.
  • Participate in preparing the annual budget and financial forecasts, and analyze budget variances.
  • Oversee cost accounting related to manufacturing operations (manufacturing costs, inventory, and margins by product line).
  • Lead, engage, and develop the members of the accounting team in a collaborative and rigorous environment.

Profile sought for the Director of Accounting:

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 8 to 10 years of progressive experience in accounting, including at least 3 years in a leadership or management role.
  • Minimum of 3 to 5 years in an accounting firm.
  • Experience in a manufacturing or distribution environment, a significant asset.
  • English: Perfect written and verbal command.
  • French language skills, both verbal and written, are an asset — a plus for working with our francophone colleagues and employees.

Skills sought for the Director of Accounting:

  • Solid knowledge of ASPE (Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises).
  • In-depth knowledge of Canadian federal and Quebec tax legislation.
  • Proficiency with ERP systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or equivalent) and advanced skills in Excel and financial analysis.
  • Ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team.
  • Strong communication skills with management and key stakeholders.
  • Results-oriented and able to manage priorities in a dynamic environment.
  • Integrity, discretion, a strong sense of ethics, and an initiative-driven focus on continuous improvement.

Garaga is an equal opportunity employer and applies an employment equity program for women, Indigenous peoples, visible minorities, and persons with disabilities. We strive to create and maintain a diverse workforce where everyone feels valued, respected, and included.

We review every application with care. However, only selected candidates will be contacted.
