General Accountant

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Toronto, ON — Midtown (Hybrid, 2 days in office)

Salary: $65,000–$75,000

Industry: Adventure Travel & Expeditions

Position Type: Backfill

About the Opportunity

Our client is a well-established tourism company with operations spanning multiple entities and currencies. Following a recent reorganization of the finance function, this General Accountant role is being brought back to support a growing accounting team. Reporting into an Assistant Controller, you'll own a hands-on remit across bank reconciliations, fixed assets, overhead accounting, and FX — with a clear path to grow into a Senior Accountant role over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and post bank reconciliations across multiple entities and currencies, including China operations
• Own fixed asset accounting, including tracking and reporting for the company's owned vessel
• Process and review overhead entries, including prepaid amortization and balance sheet reconciliations
• Perform FX processing in SAP and sense-check outputs for accuracy
• Support month-end and year-end close, including journal entries and variance analysis
• Prepare and file GST returns
• Provide evidence and reporting support for external audits and internal controls (quarterly)
• Identify and support process improvement and automation initiatives across the accounting function

What You Bring

• 2–4 years of full-cycle accounting experience, including month-end close
• Hands-on experience with bank reconciliations, fixed assets, prepaids, and balance sheet recs — these are must-haves
• Strong variance analysis skills; comfortable explaining the story behind the numbers
• Exposure to multi-currency accounting; multi-entity experience is a strong asset
• Familiarity with IFRS (highly preferred)
• Experience in SAP or a similar ERP
• Working towards or holding a CPA designation (or international equivalent) — the team actively supports professional development

Nice to Have

• Experience with FX processes and hedging concepts
• Exposure to GST/indirect tax filings
• Interest in or experience with process automation and AI tools in an accounting context
