With a history of providing exceptional service and stellar product selection, our client boasts over 100000 square feet of warehouse and retail space geared towards their clientele with over 160,000 different products. Working with over 300 suppliers and vendors, our client has become a familiar name in the Ottawa area that can offer job stability and security to their employee base. Our client has an “owner-in-the-store” policy that they take very seriously. No matter the day, no matter the time, you’ll always find one of their owners on site. The staff are empowered to provide the best solutions to fit any project, budget and lifestyle. Due to recent growth, our client needs some temporary help in their Accounting department to help catch up and gear up for year end.

As the Accountant, you will help the Controller and Senior Accountant with some clean up and catch up. Your strong Excel skills and ability to navigate through a lot of detail will be needed. Your ability to manage high volume, complex reconciliations is critical, and the expertise needed to drive the accounting for multiple entities. Your strong attention to detail, and experience working with manual and automated processes will be very helpful. Our client boasts a family cohesive environment, and we are looking for someone who will embrace the entrepreneurial culture and appreciate the stability offered.
The Ideal Candidate will bring a minimum of 5 years in full cycle accounting and be available immediately for temporary work. You will be able to demonstrate your ability to handle a high volume of cash flow transactions and reconciliations. Proficiency in Excel, adaptability to new financial systems is imperative and experience in SAGE300 would be highly desirable. As the Temporary Accountant, we are looking for someone with maturity and confidence to support the controller and provide her and the Senior Accountant with some support and ask good questions along the way. You will bring a strong understanding of intercompany transactions and understand the month end close process.
