Vancouver, Canada West Fraser Full time

Our corporate office located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, BC has an opportunity for a CORPORATE ACCOUNTING MANAGER

Our Vancouver office is looking for an experienced finance professional to lead our Canadian corporate accounting team. You will be responsible for training and developing the Canadian corporate accounting team, including any CPA students, when applicable.

You will partner with the U.S. corporate accounting manager in Memphis, Tennessee, ensuring consistency and best practices are applied. Travel between offices may be required. Our corporate offices are expected to work as a single service center with the ability to shift work between offices during peak periods or as part of employee development. We believe in continuous employee development and have a subject matter expert ("SME") approach for our corporate accounting teams. Our corporate accountants have the opportunity to master one area of corporate accounting and then move to develop expertise in another subject area of finance and accounting. The result is a well-rounded professional experience that is promotable to other roles within finance.

You will have experience with SOX internal control processes and design. You will work with our internal audit department to assess our process flows and ensure they are appropriately designed, documented and implemented. You will ensure the team follows our accounting policies and procedures and will have a strong understanding of International Financial Reporting Standards.

You will approve journal entries prepared by your team and accounts payable invoices for the finance department and general office purchases. You will also review and approve monthly account reconciliations, variance analysis, and the corporate budget, ensuring the accuracy of results. This includes partnering with managers of various corporate departments to explain budget-to-actual differences and assist with the corporate budget and forecast process. We are a cost-conscious company and welcome ideas to save time or money.

We are looking for a self-starter, creative problem solver, and strong communicator who thrives on new challenges and has an achievement-oriented mindset. You will be keenly interested in continuous improvement and bringing innovation and automation to the financial process, and you will have strong analytical skills and be detail-oriented.

Key Duties:

  • Responsible for corporate financial statements and the maintenance of corporate accounts. This includes partnering with managers of various corporate departments to explain budget-to-actual differences and assist with the corporate budget and forecast process.
  • Manage a corporate accountant team, including creating training, development, and succession plans.
  • Approve journal entries and account reconciliations prepared by your team. Prepare and post the occasional journal entry.
  • Approve invoices for the finance department and general office purchases.
  • Review and approve monthly variance analysis, ensuring the accuracy of results.
  • Assist with developing subject matter expert documentation and a training program for banks, purchase orders, fixed assets, intercompany, payroll, and other transaction streams.
  • Oversee preparation of tax working papers, budgets, and other analytical reports.
  • Ensure that internal controls are appropriately designed and implemented and that we comply with corporate accounting policies and procedures.
  • Assist with quarter-end and year-end reporting, including tax working papers, financial statements, and related notes.
  • Assist with financial system upgrades, conversions, or changes in operating strategies. Be open to new ways of using software and technology and automate where possible.
  • Ad hoc and special projects, as required.

Experience and Education:

  • CPA professional designation is required
  • Three or more years of public practice experience (other experience may be considered)
  • A minimum of 5 years of managing and developing employees
  • Experience working in a SOX control environment
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication and organizational skills
  • A mindset for process improvement and efficiency
  • Highly proficient with Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel
  • Experience with Oracle EBS or JDE accounting software and BI reporting is considered an asset

Your Workplace Location:

  • With its stunning scenery, mild climate, and hospitable locals, Vancouver is renowned worldwide as a top tourist destination and an ideal place to call home.
