Job Description

Join Stallion Express, a rapidly growing logistics and eCommerce shipping company dedicated to supporting Canadian businesses with reliable cross-border and domestic delivery solutions. Known for our innovative approach and exceptional customer service, we simplify the shipping experience for entrepreneurs. As we continue to grow through new partnerships and strategic investments, our finance team is evolving to support smarter, more efficient operations through automation and insight-driven decision-making.

Position Summary

We are seeking a hands-on, systems-savvy Accounting Manager to lead our day-to-day accounting operations while driving automation, improving financial controls, and supporting strategic analysis. This role will manage a small team and play a key part in streamlining financial workflows, implementing automation tools to enhance efficiency, and supporting the VP of Finance in delivering accurate, timely financial data to guide strategic decision-making.

This is not a steady-state or maintenance role--you'll be embedded in the operational heartbeat of a rapidly evolving logistics company. We're looking for a candidate with a builder's mindset who thrives in fast-moving environments where not everything is figured out. You should be comfortable taking initiative, identifying gaps, and implementing solutions without waiting to be told what to do. If you see chaos as an opportunity to bring order and efficiency, this is your ideal challenge.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Strategy

Lead and mentor the accounting team, fostering accountability, accuracy, and professional growth. Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes -- ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with ASPE. Partner with the finance team on budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning to support decision-making. Collaborate cross-functionally to align financial reporting with operational performance.

Core Accounting & Controls

Oversee full-cycle accounting, including AR, AP, payroll, and general ledger maintenance. Review and approve daily transactions, journal entries, and vendor payments in line with internal controls. Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with ASPE. Maintain compliance with tax, audit, and regulatory requirements, coordinating with external auditors and advisors. Strengthen internal controls and ensure audit-readiness across all accounting cycles.

Automation & Systems

Drive process improvement and automation across accounting workflows. Oversee system integrations between QuickBooks Online (QBO), Dext, and warehouse/order platforms. Apply advanced tools (SQL, Python, VBA, or AI-driven solutions) to streamline reporting and unlock insights. Identify and implement cost optimization and process redesign opportunities.

Analysis & Insight

Conduct variance and trend analyses across revenue, COGS, expenses, and margins. Investigate anomalies, surface insights proactively, and partner with leadership to resolve discrepancies. Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable recommendations.

What You Bring

CPA designation (or in final stages of completion). 7-10 years of progressive accounting or financial operations experience, including 3+ years in a leadership role. Strong knowledge of ASPE, financial reporting, and internal control design. Proven experience in process improvement, automation, and systems integration. Proficiency with QuickBooks Online, Dext, and advanced Excel/Google Sheets. Familiarity with SQL, Python, or VBA is a strong asset. Excellent analytical, communication, and leadership skills -- able to balance strategy with hands-on execution.
