Tulmar designs, manufactures, and distributes engineered protective textiles and survivability solutions for the Aerospace, Defence, and Public Security industries. Operating from a modern 60,000 sq. ft. facility, we combine advanced manufacturing capabilities with in-house testing and certification.

We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Finance & Corporate Services team.

The Senior Accountant will play a key role in Tulmar's financial operations, combining manufacturing costing, inventory accounting, financial reporting and hands-on accounting responsibilities.

Working directly with the VP, Finance & Corporate Services, you will take ownership of defined accounting and month-end activities while developing a strong understanding of our manufacturing operations. You will work closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality and other teams to ensure our financial information is accurate, timely and useful for decision-making.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys understanding how the numbers connect to what is happening on the manufacturing floor, investigating discrepancies and finding practical ways to improve processes.

What You'll Do

Manufacturing Costing & Inventory

- Maintain standard costs for manufactured items and support cost roll-ups and purchased-part cost adjustments.
- Analyze material, labour and overhead variances and prepare monthly gross-margin reporting.
- Review production activity, labour data, material usage, shop-floor orders, backflushing and work-in-progress (WIP).
- Complete manufacturing month-end processing and shop-floor order closure.
- Prepare inventory valuations and reconcile raw materials, finished goods and WIP to the general ledger.
- Support inventory counts and investigate inventory and costing discrepancies in collaboration with Operations, Supply Chain and Quality.

Accounting & Financial Reporting

- Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, fixed-asset schedules and depreciation.




- Own assigned components of the month-end close and prepare supporting schedules and variance explanations.
- Support the preparation of financial statements and broader monthly financial reporting as responsibilities develop.
- Prepare assigned financial and statistical reports and provide reconciled information for budgeting and cash planning.
- Prepare assigned year-end and audit schedules.
- Support accounting and reporting requirements for affiliated companies.

Receivables & Cash Application

- Post and apply customer receipts and reconcile accounts receivable.
- Complete assigned invoicing, statements and customer-portal submissions.
- Follow up on overdue accounts and investigate unapplied cash, disputed invoices and payment delays.
- Maintain accurate follow-up records and expected receipt information.

Systems, Controls & Continuous Improvement

- Maintain clear accounting procedures, supporting documentation and appropriate financial controls.
- Support Finance ERP users and help improve data quality, reconciliations and recurring reporting.
- Collaborate with business systems and analytics colleagues to identify, test and implement practical process improvements.
- Cross-train colleagues and provide reliable accounting backup where required.
- Identify root causes of recurring issues and look for opportunities to make our processes more efficient without compromising accuracy or controls.

What you need to succeed
- 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including journal entries, account reconciliations and month-end activities.
- Hands-on experience with inventory and cost accounting.




- Manufacturing standard costing and WIP experience are strongly preferred; relevant inventory or job-costing experience will also be considered.
- Diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
- CPA designation or active progress toward CPA is an asset, but not required.
- Strong Excel and ERP skills.
- Experience with Macola and Crystal Reports is an asset.
- Experience with Power Query, Power BI or similar reporting tools is an asset.
- Strong attention to detail, accounting judgment and practical problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across departments.
- Strong organization, communication and follow-through.
- English is required; French is an asset.
- Must be eligible under the Controlled Goods Program and ITAR (Canadian citizen or permanent resident) and able to obtain a Police Records Check (paid by Tulmar)
