Senior Accountant

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Brampton, ON (On-Site)

Salary: $80,000–$90,000

Industry: Construction 

Position Type: New Role

About the Opportunity

Our client is a well-established contractor with over 25 years in Ontario's construction industry, operating through a vertically integrated group of companies with a workforce of over 700. They support large-scale projects across the GTA and beyond.

This is a newly created Senior Accountant role within a growing Finance team, reporting to the Corporate Controller. Processes are being built from the ground up — making this a strong opportunity for someone who wants real ownership in a multi-entity environment and room to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle accounting across multiple entities, supporting month-end and year-end close
• Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations and prepare journal entries under ASPE
• Own intercompany reconciliations — loans, cross charges, and invoicing — and resolve discrepancies
• Maintain CAPEX and OPEX records, including fixed assets, leases, and equipment costs
• Prepare and file HST returns and manage related regulatory filings
• Support year-end review engagement and provide requested documentation
• Assist with project accounting, including budget vs. actual reporting and cost review
• Contribute to process improvement and internal controls as the function is built out

What You Bring

• 3 - 6 years of progressive accounting experience
• Solid grounding in full-cycle accounting, month-end close, and financial reporting under ASPE
• Experience with intercompany accounting in a multi-entity environment
• Hands-on exposure to project accounting, cost accounting, or job costing — construction, contracting, or manufacturing background is an asset
• CPA designation completed or in progress is strongly preferred
• Proficiency with ERP/accounting systems; experience with CMIC, Jonas, or Sage is an advantage
• Advanced Excel skills — pivot tables, lookups, and formulas
• Able to work independently with strong attention to detail and a process-oriented mindset

Nice to Have

• Experience in construction, contracting, or a similarly project-driven industry
• Familiarity with CMIC or comparable construction ERP platforms
• Exposure to review engagement support (note: this is a review engagement, not a full audit)
