Director, Accounting

$160k - $180k per year
Full-time

Swim Recruiting

Highly successful, very large, and complex multi-national company. Fantastic career opportunity for a well-rounded accounting & finance leader who loves mentoring. Dynamic corporate culture, impressive executive leadership, well-rounded scope. Leading 3-4 direct reports (who are at Manager-level or Senior Manager-level) and a total team of over 14. Long-term career growth.

Who- the Company: 

Our Client is a well-established and well-managed company with multi-national operations and very impressive revenues. Collaborative, innovative, and friendly corporate culture.

What- the Role:

On behalf of our Client, SWIM is seeking a new Director, Accounting who will be based in the corporate headquarters in Vancouver.
The scope of this role is wide-ranging and ever-evolving. The Director, Accounting will lead managers and senior managers (who in turn have teams of direct reports) in a few functional areas of accounting, including corporate accounting, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. The new accounting leader will work collaboratively with leaders of other functions such as tax, FP&A, treasury, risk management, payroll, etc., and may have the chance to cross-train in some of those functions in future. Additionally, the Director will contribute to post-acquisition integration work.  Suffice to say this role is meaty and interesting and will put the right individual on an exciting career path to achieve leadership level within a very large Corporation. 

Who- the Candidate:

We are seeking a dynamic, strategic, and proactive accounting leader with excellent mentorship and coaching abilities. Leadership skills are the most crucial component of this role. The selected candidate will have a track record of success leading the corporate accounting function of a large, complex, and multi-national business.

What- the Qualifications:

  • 10+ years’ progressive experience within Accounting and Finance, including direct oversight of Corporate Accounting and Operational Accounting, including Financial Reporting, AP, and AR
  • CPA designation required. Additional qualifications such as MBA will be viewed very favourably
  • Experience in a large (minimum $400M in revenues) multi-entity, multi-currency company, with complex consolidations (private and/or public is fine).
  • Experience leading at least 2 direct reports, plus at least 5 indirect reports (i.e. leading managers). An eye for talent and bringing out the best in each individual
  • Foundational training in a multi-national public practice accounting firm
  • Exposure to M&A is an asset, particularly post-acquisition integration
  • Exposure to US business operations highly preferred
  • Extensive experience collaborating with C-Suite Executives and Board Members

  • Experience working with ERP systems in complex technology environments- bonus points for SAP or Oracle!

  • Proven process improvement and change management skills

  • Ability to work cross-functionally across the business and build effective relationships with non-finance colleagues

  • Demonstrated desire to deeply understand the relationship between business operations and accounting

  • Experience in manufacturing, distribution, retail, or another sector involving inventory and logistics is an asset, but not required  

 

How Much:

Competitive base salary commensurate with level of experience, skills, and qualifications, likely in the range of $160,000 to $180,000.
The Company will provide their new Director, Accounting with a solid overall compensation package, including a very generous profit share program, professional development support, excellent health benefits, and other perks. Please feel free to discuss further with SWIM.

Where:  

The Company is headquartered in downtown Vancouver. We are seeking a leader who enjoys having a positive presence in the office and taking part in in-person collaboration, team meetings, onboarding and training of new staff, brainstorming discussions, social events, etc.
