Who the Company:

Our client is a complex, well-known, and successful Abbotsford organization that was founded many decades ago.

The company has a tightknit, energetic, and friendly corporate culture, with a major emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.

What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, Swim Recruiting is seeking a new Accountant who will be accountable for full-cycle accounting including accounts payable, accounts receivable, working papers, budgeting, forecasting, month/quarter/year end close, bank reconciliations, variance analysis, journal entries, etc. The Accountant will also have the opportunity to contribute to process improvements and various projects going on within the business.

The Accountant will interact with internal and external stakeholders- in accounting & finance, but also in sales, operations, marketing, etc. This is a well-rounded role with lots of variety! SWIM will provide interested candidates with a more thorough job description.
