Opal Hospitality Inc. is a multi-property hotel management company operating Marriott, Hilton, IHG, and Best Western branded hotels across Canada and the United States. Our in‑house finance team handles full accounting for a growing group of these properties — currently 13 hotels and 2 restaurants — from our Mississauga head office, and we are adding to the team as that scope expands.

The Role
We are looking for a Senior Accountant. The day‑to‑day bookkeeping sales entries, invoice coding, payroll, and reconciliations, runs through an outsourced partner and a small in‑house team. You are the person who makes sure all of it is correct: you review the work, keep coding and approvals on track, keep the books clean, and close on time, month after month, across every property you support. You'll coordinate with property managers and act as the technical contact for our external auditors. If you are meticulous, organized, and genuinely bothered by errors, you will fit right in.

What You’ll Do
Month‑end close & reporting

Run month‑end close across all entities, Canadian and US, and keep the close calendar on track

Review and finalize the financials prepared by the outsourced bookkeeping team, ready for the Director's review

Maintain accrual discipline proper monthly accruals and prepaids, with no adjusting entries used to patch coding errors

Confirm opening entries are correct

Prepare the monthly financial package for the Director and support ad‑hoc reporting requests

Accounts payable & coding

Manage the in‑office bookkeeping team to stay on top of invoice approvals and correct coding, and step in to assist when needed

Keep invoices flowing into Nimble accurately through vendor portals — the bookkeepers handle entry, and you help when volumes require





Apply bill payments accurately when a data request calls for it

Field all data requests from the outsourced team and troubleshoot issues independently

Balance sheet & reconciliations

Ensure the bookkeeping team completes monthly balance‑sheet reconciliations across every property, and review them for accuracy

Monitor AR aging monthly and confirm bank‑to‑property alignment

Maintain fixed asset and depreciation schedules and FF&E; capital reserves

Maintain debt and lease schedules

Process AR allowances and write‑offs

Track advance deposits, deferred revenue, and gift card and loyalty liabilities

Prepare monthly intercompany bookings across Canadian and US entities

Reconcile prepaids and deferred liabilities and revenue

USALI & mapping accuracy

Keep all reporting consistent with USALI across the portfolio

Validate PMS-to‑GL mapping at implementation and as new revenue and expense types arise

Validate payroll‑to‑GL mapping at implementation and as new line items arise

Validate legacy‑GL-to‑USALI‑GL mapping at implementation

Tax & compliance filings

Prepare and file HST/GST through CRA, including direct filings for individual properties as needed

Support US state and local sales and lodging tax filings

Accrue property tax and schedule payments

Prepare T4A, T5, and 1099 issuance as needed

Year‑end & new properties





Prepare the year‑end audit package for external auditors within 15 days of year‑end, and serve as the technical contact for the audit

Prepare 90‑day post‑takeover reconciliations on newly acquired properties

Set up new entities — opening balances, chart of accounts, and mapping — for the Director's approval

Team & systems

Train, coach, and develop the in‑house administrative support

Provide day‑to‑day technical direction to the outsourced bookkeeping team

Administer the accounting systems and protect data integrity

How We Work
Month‑end is disciplined: proper accruals and prepaids, a full balance‑sheet review for every property, and a close that lands on schedule. We value accuracy over rework and organization over last‑minute scrambles. The right person here is careful, consistent, and takes full ownership of clean numbers with proper supporting documents (invoices, statements, etc.).

What You Bring

Minimum 3 years of hotel accounting experience; 2+ years in restaurant accounting preferred

USALI knowledge inside and out

Multi‑entity accounting, ideally cross‑border Canada/US (HST/ITC, cross‑border payroll)

CRA filing experience (HST/GST) and a solid grasp of GAAP / ASPE

Experience validating PMS, payroll, and GL mapping and supporting new implementations

Confidence managing an outsourced bookkeeping partner and coaching in‑house support

Advanced Excel

Productive, organized, and exceptionally accurate — you rarely make errors, and you catch the ones others miss

Nice to Have

Franchise brand experience (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Best Western)

Experience with hospitality accounting systems (Nimble, M3, Inn‑Flow, or similar)

Experience with the outsourced‑bookkeeping model
