We are seeking a dynamic Accounting Administrator to support our operations across Vancouver Island, including hauling operations, recycling facilities, transfer stations, and landfills.

• Strong proficiency with personal computers.
• Experience with the Google Workspace suite (Sheets, Gmail, Docs) and enterprise accounting systems (e.g., Workday) is a strong asset.
• Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a strong organizational foundation.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to make presentations to various management levels.
• Proven ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision, while seamlessly collaborating with a diverse operational team.
• Valid work authorization in the country where the job is located is required.
• Successful candidates will be required to provide valid documentation confirming their eligibility to work in the country where the job is located prior to their start date.

Responsibilities

• Drive the Month-End Schedule: Execute the month-end closing cycle (Day +1 to +5) by posting journal entries, reclassifying maintenance costs, and clearing undefined revenue.
• Collaborate with Leadership: Partner with the Site Controller to ensure all operational manager submissions are completed accurately and on time.
• Analyze & Report: Compile statistical data using our ERP system and provide clear verbal and written explanations for significant deviations from baseline plans or prior period adjustments.
• Manage AP Workflow: Triage AP communications, create purchase order requisitions, and monitor/receive POs in compliance with accounting standards.
• Process & Code: Process invoices in the AP system and collaborate with managers to ensure correct GL coding.
• Provide system training and coding guidance to staff as needed.
• System Oversight: Monitor the Workday (AP) system to resolve rejected invoices and manage daily cheque exceptions through the bank account.
• Cash Logistics: Oversee cash control and logistics for our bottle depot operations.
• Reconciliations & Security: Perform monthly bank reconciliations and execute on-site physical security counts of safes and ATMs.
• Ad-Hoc Support: Assist with internal compliance, support other regional controllers as needed, and take on special projects as directed by management.
