Burke Recruiting is partnering with a growing, purpose-driven consulting firm to find an experienced Accounting Manager / Hands-on Controller.

Our client specializes in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability and offers a collaborative, fully remote working environment with excellent flexibility and work-life balance.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys taking ownership of the entire finance function within a smaller organization. You'll be equally comfortable managing day-to-day accounting activities and providing meaningful financial insight to senior leadership.

• Manage full-cycle accounting, including AP, AR, payroll, invoicing and reconciliations.

• Oversee month-end close and prepare accurate financial statements and management reports.

• Develop and maintain budgets, forecasts and cash-flow projections.

• Monitor project costs, profitability, margins and financial performance.

• Provide financial analysis and recommendations to support management decisions.

• Maintain effective internal controls and accurate accounting records.

• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve reporting and introduce automation.

• Coordinate year-end reporting and liaise with external accountants.

• Support additional operational and financial initiatives as the company grows.

• Minimum 5 years of progressive accounting experience.

• Strong full-cycle accounting background with experience working independently.

• Experience preparing financial statements, budgets and forecasts.

• Project accounting or job-costing experience is highly desirable.

• Experience in consulting, engineering, professional services or another project-based industry is an asset.

• Strong QuickBooks Online and Excel skills.

• CPA designation is an asset but not required.

• Excellent analytical, organizational and problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication skills and the confidence to recommend improvements.

• Comfortable working independently while remaining hands-on with daily accounting responsibilities.

• Remote Work: Work primarily from home, with occasional Vancouver team meetings.

• Work-Life Balance: A flexible environment that values personal well-being and results.

• Meaningful Work: Join an organization contributing to environmental sustainability.

• Autonomy: Take ownership of the accounting function and make a genuine impact.

• Career Growth: Opportunity to contribute to broader financial and operational initiatives.

• Collaborative Culture: Work with a supportive team that values open communication and initiative.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the variety of working in a smaller organization and takes pride in managing both the details and the bigger financial picture.

You are proactive, resourceful and confident in your accounting abilities. You don't need a large team beneath you to be successful, and you're just as comfortable completing reconciliations as you are discussing financial performance with senior management.

Salary: $95,000–$115,000 annually, commensurate with experience.

If you're an experienced accounting professional looking for greater autonomy, flexibility and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.
