Excellent opportunity for a Senior Accountant who would be excited to work for a company that is experiencing year-over-year growth and that has ambitious expansion plans- as the company grows, high performers on the accounting team will also grow! Ideally seeking candidates who have worked in healthcare and/or tech, who have US tax and/or Cdn tax knowledge, who have US GAAP financial reporting, and who have been involved in process improvements and financial system optimization.

Who- the Company:

Our client is a very high growth, ambitious, and successful multinational company at the exciting cross-section of healthcare and technology. The company is cash positive and has been experiencing year-over-year growth. It’s a great place for someone who wants to learn and grow their technical accounting and taxation skills over the years.

What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new Senior Accountant who will report directly into the Senior Accounting Manager and will work along other Accountants (Senior, Intermediate, and Junor levels).
Tax Compliance & Support

• Prepare and complete US and Canada corporate income tax filing alongside external advisors
• Prepare and complete indirect taxes filings in the US and Canada
• Support the senior accounting manager in maintaining global tax compliance across Canada and US
• Assist with the preparation and review of tax provisions by external advisors and ensure documentation for audit and compliance purposes.
• Prepare documentation and coordinate with internal stakeholders to complete and file for tax credits or incentives
• Support the tax audit as needed

Corporate Accounting

• Support the Senior Accounting Manager with key technical accounting items including software capitalization and related party transactions
• Prepare or review journal entries and account reconciliations
• Maintain the integrity of the general ledger and ensure adherence to US GAAP accounting standards
• Assist with internal and external reporting, including variance analyses and support schedules
• Supervise, mentor, and train operational accounting staff

Who- the Candidate:

We are seeking senior-level accountants who are CPA designated (or who are very actively pursuing CPA) with 3+ years of relevant full-cycle accounting and taxation work experience.   Qualified candidates will have experience in a public practice accounting firm and/or industry (ideally both, but not required). The more well-rounded the accounting experience, the better! Within tax, corporate accounting, operational accounting, financial reporting, financial systems, etc.
Experience in healthcare and/or technology (especially software as a service/SAAS) is highly preferred, but not required- as long as you are comfortable working with a sense of urgency in a very complex and fast-moving company. Experience with US GAAP and USD currency is a significant asset. Must have experience with either Cdn corporate tax or US corporate tax– ideally both! Hands-on experience with an ERP is very highly preferred (Oracle, SAP, Netsuite, JD Edwards, etc.), especially if you were involved in the post-implementation customization, user adoption, and optimization phase.
Most important are the soft skills and personality traits! We are looking for people who are ambitious, intelligent, hard-working, organized, strategic, and resourceful. This company is improving processes and systems, and the leadership team would love to hire a Senior Accountant who is hungry to contribute to that positive evolution.

How Much:

The range on base salary is very wide as it really depends on the candidate’s skills, qualifications, and experience- $82,000 to $98,000, with a sweet spot of around $90,000 to $94,000. If candidates have many/all of the “highly preferred” pieces, that will help increase the salary. Please discuss your total compensation expectations in more detail with SWIM.

Where:

Full time in Burnaby, close to a SkyTrain station. There is flexibility as needed in this role to allow for “work life integration” (ie leaving work early for a medical appt, leaving early for a long weekend after working a lot of overtime at quarter-end the week before, etc.), but for the most part the expectation for this role is full-time Mon-Fri in office.
