Our client is a growing, privately owned business seeking a hands-on Accouning Manager to take ownership of the company’s financial operations. Reporting directly to the Managing Director and Company Owner, this individual will play a key role in building strong financial processes, improving systems, managing cash flow, and providing insightful financial reporting to support business growth.

This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated finance professional who enjoys being hands-on, working independently, solving problems, and taking ownership beyond the traditional boundaries of a job description.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the company’s finance systems, processes, policies, and controls, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency across financial and operational software.
• Manage daily cash flow and prepare weekly and monthly cash-flow projections.
• Lead monthly and year-end close processes, including G/L analysis, account reconciliations, financial reporting, and consolidations.
• Oversee finance department operations, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, billing, collections, and payroll.
• Perform and review full-cycle accounting functions across multiple entities.
• Complete bank reconciliations, bookkeeping, government remittances, and adjusting journal entries.
• Lead financial analysis, modelling, costing, inventory management, and cash-flow planning.
• Prepare annual budgets and forecasts and monitor performance against budget on a monthly basis.
• Prepare and present monthly financial reports and analysis to the owners and management team.
• Manage invoice payments and collections, including ensuring invoices align with purchase orders and agreed payment terms.
• Develop and maintain OPEX trackers and monitor payment terms and cash requirements.
• Prepare year-end working papers and support the year-end financial reporting package.
• Evaluate and continuously improve accounting policies, procedures, internal controls, and methodologies.
• Support the implementation of new financial systems and participate in key financial and operational projects.
• Provide insightful analysis and recommendations to management, helping connect financial results to business performance.
• Take on additional responsibilities and projects as required in a growing and evolving business.

Qualifications & Experience

• Strong controllership and full-cycle accounting experience, ideally within a privately owned or entrepreneurial environment.
• Highly analytical with the ability to understand the "why" behind financial results and identify connections and opportunities.
• Self-motivated starter-finisher who can work independently and take ownership from start to completion.
• Comfortable operating in a dynamic, constantly changing environment where priorities can shift quickly.

This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to build, improve, and own the finance function of a growing organization.

• Proven ability to work independently, take initiative, and carry assignments through to completion with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of controllership principles and full-cycle accounting in a multi-function finance environment.
• Demonstrated analytical skills with the ability to interpret financial data, identify root causes, and support sound business decisions.
• High level of accuracy, organization, and attention to detail in financial reporting and transaction review.
• Experience leading or supporting presentations of financial information to stakeholders with varying levels of financial knowledge.
