Our client is a well-established and reputable company that is growing their presence in Kamloops. The company is well-diversified, well-managed, and stable. They have a friendly, values-based, and tight-knit team culture. 

On behalf of our client, Swim Recruiting is searching for a new Assistant Controller who will report directly into the top finance leader for the organization (placed by SWIM a few years ago, a great boss!). This role is based in Kamloops, BC.

The Assistant Controller will help to mentor and oversee the work of 3 other people on the accounting team (in AP, AR, & Payroll). This is a diverse role spanning corporate accounting, AP & AR oversight, tax compliance, cash management, month/quarter/year-end, financial system optimization, etc.

Opportunity to support budgeting, forecasting, FP&A, business decision support, and internal controls & risk management in the future, once the Assistant Controller really understands the business.  

Additionally, the Assistant Controller will work with Operations, Sales, Property Management, and other departments to optimize cross-departmental communication and collaboration. There are plenty of exciting short-term and long-term projects the Assistant Controller can take on, as well as a good deal of opportunity for career development within the organization for a strong performer.
