Swim Recruiting is seeking a Senior Accountant for this great organization. The company has a very stable team with low attrition, so it’s rare for them to be hiring. 

The new Sr. Acct. will manage the full-cycle accounting for half a dozen entities and will be responsible for the preparation of financial statements, payments, routine and ad hoc investor reporting, working papers, treasury/banking/cashflow management, GST matters, etc.   Accuracy and integrity of the data is paramount and must be performed in a confidential manner. This is a small yet mighty organization, and the accounting team pulls together on administrative tasks, as well.

This position offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional with strong finance, accounting, tax, general bookkeeping, and cash management skills to contribute to a well-run and diversified executive office.  This is a stable and long-term career opportunity!

Friendly and effective communication skills are key, as is an approachable, down-to-earth style.

• Experience with multi-entity businesses (public practice clients and/or in-house), ideally with exposure to family-owned businesses.
• Experience with banking and cashflow management
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office (particularly Excel) is crucial and prior experience using QuickBooks is a significant asset.
