We are seeking candidates who are down-to-earth, friendly, and confident in their skills and abilities.  A sense of humour is key in this fun-loving culture, as is the ability to stay calm under pressure. Candidates well-suited to this company will be self-motivated and enthusiastic, with the drive to make AP and AR processes better across the organization.  

• Minimum of 6 years’ progressive experience in accounting, including at least a few years of leading AP and/or AR functions (strong preference for someone who has concurrently led both!).

• Systems savvy, with experience using ERP financial systems and AP automation tools.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) are very important in this interactive role involving collaboration with colleagues and leaders across various departments and geographic regions.
• Relevant post-secondary education in accounting and/or business is highly preferred. CPA designation is a significant asset, but not required.

Base salary commensurate with relevant experience, qualifications, and skills, in the range of $100,000 to $118,000. The total compensation package at this company is very robust and includes…

• Bonus program.
• 4 weeks paid time off / vacation.
• Comprehensive benefits package – dental benefits, health benefits, vision benefits.
• RRSP match.
• Annual health allowance.
• Professional development support, if relevant and approved (for example, for CPA designation).
• Hybrid and flexible work environment.
• Other great perks for employees! SWIM can share more.

Where:

HYBRID. The corporate office is in Greater Vancouver, right off a Highway. Free employee parking is provided.
