Job DescriptionThis is a rare seat: a Senior Accountant role inside a global, publicly-parented technology manufacturer where the job is genuinely yours to shape. The core is high‑visibility, cross‑border consolidation and payroll reconciliation work spanning North America, EMEA, and Latin America—and beyond that core, the hiring leader will hand you whatever you want to grow into, from EMEA revenue recognition to inventory analysis. You report directly to the leader of the Kitchener accounting function, work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with a US‑based corporate controller, and step into a team where people build entire careers.CompanyGlobal technology manufacturerRoughly 1,050 employees globally across 17+ locations; the business operates multi‑entity, multi‑currency, and multi‑regionPrivately held and wholly owned by a publicly traded parent company based in Japan; the Kitchener entity rolls up into that parent's consolidated public reportingComing off a strong commercial pivot: a multi‑year defence‑sector contract (military flight‑simulation environments) now sits alongside the company's established cinema and entertainment business, with secured work for the next five yearsPackageBase salary $85,000 to $95,000Defined‑contribution pension plan with employer match up to 4%Group advantages: blended health and dental, travel insurance, and short‑term disability4 weeks vacation, plus a paid holiday shutdown and a paid birthday day off – roughly four and a half weeks off in totalGenuine work‑life balance: a normal work week, with only modest extra hours around month, quarter, and year‑endHYBRID – 3 days in officePosition DescriptionThis role backfills a long‑tenured team member who retired.

It is an individual‑contributor role with no direct reports.Core ResponsibilitiesOwn inter‑company reconciliation across all entities each close—ensuring inter‑company balances are reconciled and elimination entries are prepared for consolidation (roughly the first week of each month‑end)Validate and reconcile payroll: review payroll journal entries and reconcile payroll balance sheet accounts across the US, Canada, EMEA, and a smaller Latin America entity (the role validates payroll, it does not prepare it)Partner day‑to‑day with the hiring leader, and with the US‑based corporate controller specifically on elimination and consolidation mattersCoordinate directly with the payroll department on any discrepancies, and work cross‑functionally beyond accountingBuild‑your‑own scope—chosen with the hiring leader based on your interests:Revenue recognition for one or more EMEA entities, starting with a smaller company and progressing to larger, more complex onesInventory provision analysis and transit reconciliationProcess improvement: a mature organization with real opportunity to streamline processes across disparate systems and bring efficiencyNote on the company’s work: the company holds defence‑sector contracts, including military flight‑simulation work. This role does not work directly on those projects, but the company discloses this so candidates can make an informed decision before applying.QualificationsCPA designation (this is a must‑have)5 to 7 years of progressive accounting experience; the search may flex toward three to five years for a candidate who is clearly strong and brings the right setting fitExperience working inside a publicly traded companyHands‑on experience with multi‑currency and multi‑entity accounting at a larger company—not small, single‑currency local booksStrong inter‑company reconciliation and consolidation/elimination experienceA team player who is highly organized, knows how to prioritize, and builds relationships easily across departments and across borders—the team works in an open, approachable,



collaborative space and this person interacts widelyComfortable jumping in where needed in a collaborative, not heavily structured, environmentGenuinely motivated by learning and variety—it’s a person who will be happiest if they want to grow into new areas rather than do one narrow taskNice To Have, Not RequiredManufacturing or inventory experience (costing is managed offshore, so costing depth is a bonus rather than a need)Public Accounting firm experienceComfort with AI tools and an appetite to apply technology to accounting processesA note on ambition and pace: there is a real growth path here—assistant manager, manager, senior manager—but progression is earned over time, not in two years. The right candidate is ambitious about the breadth of work in front of them, and patient about title.Why Is This a Great OpportunityBuild-your‑own role. The core is defined but lean, and the hiring leader will hand you scope to match your interests—revenue recognition, inventory analysis, process work—to grow in the direction you choose.Cross‑border exposure. You own consolidation and payroll reconciliation across North America, EMEA, and Latin America, the kind of multi‑entity, multi‑currency complexity most accountants never get near.Public‑company complexity, varied book of work. Product, service, and project revenue across companies of very different sizes means you see both the small picture and the big picture, and you work directly with external auditors at every quarter.Real work‑life balance. A normal work week, three set in‑office days with genuine day‑to‑day flexibility, four-plus weeks off, and a leader who is openly accommodating on scheduling.Surrounded by people you learn from. A stable, long‑tenured team and a US‑based corporate controller you partner with directly on consolidation—this is a place people join early and retire from.Process‑improvement runway. A mature business with disparate systems and explicit room to streamline—if you like solving problems and building efficiency, there is visible territory to make your mark.#J-18808-Ljbffr
