Plant Accountant

Soluroc•Sudbury, ON

2d•CA$65,000 - CA$100,000

About The Position

Soluroc is a growing manufacturer where finance is a hands-on, business-facing function not a back office. We are looking for a Stand-Alone Plant Accountant who can take full ownership of the accounting for a manufacturing entity, run a clean and fast month-end, and steadily push the role beyond clerical work toward analysis and decisions that make the plant more profitable. This is a step up from a traditional plant accountant. We need someone autonomous. A person who diagnoses and fixes their own problems, brings solutions rather than questions, and earns the trust to operate with little supervision. We are actively pushing toward automation and AI across finance. You won’t just maintain the books you’ll redesign how the work gets done, automating repetitive tasks so the team can focus on analysis and judgment. We want someone who is genuinely excited to build this, not intimidated by it.

Requirements

Strong accounting experience in a manufacturing environment you understand cost of goods, inventory, work-in-process, standard vs. actual costing, and project costing. This is essential.

A genuinely autonomous operator who fixes their own problems and brings solutions, not just issues.
A real appetite for automation and AI eager to use modern tools to eliminate manual work, not just do things the way they’ve always been done.
Solid grasp of project/job profitability analysis and the ability to explain numbers to non-finance leaders.
Solid grasp of ASPE: you know the standards that govern a private Canadian manufacturer, and you apply them without being prompted.
Professional working English.
Strong attention to detail
