You'll possess the following skills, abilities, and experience:

Qualified accountant, preferably a CPA, with over 5 years of experience in a manufacturing or business environment, demonstrating comprehensive post-qualification expertise.
Essential experience in financial accounting and reporting.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage and present to stakeholders both within and outside of the finance department.
Excellent technical and financial accounting skills.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and PowerBI is an asset.
Ability to meet demanding deadlines and adapt quickly to changing business needs.
Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving abilities.
A collaborative team player who pays close attention to detail, ensuring accuracy and integrity in calculations and analyses.
Adaptable and capable of working independently, while also able to lead by example.
Strong communication skills that allow for adaptation of tone and style to suit various audiences.


Key Accountabilities

Oversee the completion of month-end close procedures for the Operations Finance team, ensuring accurate recording and reporting of results from our six wholly owned pellet plants and four partnerships.
Conduct month-end analysis and perform balance sheet account reconciliations for items such as finished goods, spare parts, and other accruals.
Ensure that financial controls are well established, understood, and adhered to across the Canadian finance team.
Serve as the primary point of contact for plant managers, addressing their inquiries, managing or directing queries, and ensuring they meet their financial objectives.
Support and, in some cases, take the lead in delivering robust and timely internal financial reports.
Maintain accounting policies and procedures while monitoring relevant processes.
Provide the finance team with expertise in technically complex areas as needed.
Stay updated on technical matters and assess the impact of new or revised accounting pronouncements.
