The purview of the Director’s team includes data & analytics, budgeting Board reporting, business intelligence & data visualization, capital investment planning & capital allocation, financial modeling, and business partnering (commercial and corporate functions).  The company is embarking on a new and exciting five-year plan to continue on a trajectory of growth (organic and through M&A), so the Director will lead change management, drive transformation, and champion process improvements and systems optimization.

Fantastic corporate culture. REMOTE anywhere in BC- or possibly even Alberta! Generous amount of paid time off.

Who- the Company: 

Our client is a small BC-based company with a bright future and a great team culture. The company currently has around 30 employees, with ongoing growth plans… they are hiring top talent to help them get there! They are NOT in the construction sector, but there are a lot of parallels to the construction industry and it’s a project-based business model (mix of one-off projects and recurring multi-year projects).
If you are a Project Accountant or Project Analyst with 3+ years relevant work experience who is looking for an exciting and values-based Canadian company to work for, this could be the place for you!

What- the Role:

Our client seeking a new Project Accountant.  This is a newly created position, which will be very exciting for the person who gets hired. The new employee will liaise with folks in project management, accounting & finance, operations, etc. The Project Accountant will take care of: job costing, cost codes, revenue recognition, tracking estimates to actuals, data collection, forecasting, budgeting, creating and tracking project KPIs and project metrics, reviewing project gross margins, creating routine and ad hoc project status reports for the senior leadership team, monitoring the project and sales pipeline… the list goes on and on!

SWIM will provide interested & qualified candidates with a full job description.

Who- the Candidate:

We are looking for an individual with at least 2 years and preferably 4+ years specializing in project analysis/project accounting.

We are looking for people who are super self-motivated, with lots of initiative and the ability to keep the business consistently apprised of the status of their project accounting output. Given this is a remote role, the Project Accountant needs to be independent, hard working, accountable, and able to self-manage their workload.
Some form of accounting & finance post-secondary education is highly preferred- perhaps a Financial Management Diploma from BCIT or Langara, an Accounting Certificate, a Bachelor of Commerce with Accounting concentration, etc.
Proficiency in Excel is required (pivot tables, V look-ups, etc.), and experience using an ERP and/or construction-centric software is an asset (Yardi, Timberline, etc.).

The company will provide their new Project Accountant with good health benefits and relevant professional development support, if approved. There is also a flexible paid time off program at this company- once established in their role, the Project Accountant can request vacation at times that make sense for the project schedule, and vacation is not closely tracked- so the Project Accountant can take at least 3 weeks, likely 4 weeks, and perhaps even more in paid vacation over the course of a year… as long as deadlines are being met, and the employee has their work scheduled and on track.

Where:

REMOTE PRIMARY, with occasional in-person meetings in Vancouver. Company is based in Greater Vancouver, but they have employees living across BC and Alberta.
