Job description

Our client is a vertically integrated design, development, and construction company that has spent more than 20 years building custom homes and master-planned communities. This Accounting Manager role is a standalone position reporting directly to the CFO, blending corporate accounting with project accounting across multiple entities and active development sites.

You’ll own core close activities, strengthen internal controls, and play a lead role in the QuickBooks Online rollout. If you want ownership from day one, direct access to the CFO, and the chance to build (not just maintain) a finance function, this is a rare mandate at this level.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own month-end close and financial statement preparation across multiple entities
  • Manage project accounting and job costing, ensuring reporting is accurate and decision-useful for active development sites
  • Build and document new-entity/project setup processes, including chart of accounts and job-costing structure, and apply them consistently to new projects
  • Lead intercompany accounting across a growing multi-entity structure
  • Prepare Canadian corporate tax filings and manage GST/HST reporting and new-housing rebate submissions, staying current as rebate thresholds change
  • Oversee payroll processing in partnership with the third-party provider
  • Develop and deliver KPI and variance reporting to support management decision-making
  • Build expense forecasts and pro forma financial models for new development sites
  • Drive the QuickBooks Online implementation and help transition the business off manual, disconnected systems
  • Establish accounting processes and internal controls where none currently exist
  • Partner daily with operations, project management, and banking contacts, and regularly with estimating, legal, and tax advisors

What You Bring

  • Solid accounting fundamentals with the ability to explain the "why" behind journal entries, not just execute them
  • Hands-on experience with GST/HST reporting and Canadian corporate tax preparationComfort building financial models and expense forecasts for project-based businesses
  • Self-starting and able to work independently in a small, entrepreneurial environment with direct executive access
  • Strong communication skills and a track record of following through without oversight

Nice to Have

  • Intercompany accounting experience across multiple entities
