Position Summary

This role is a newly established position within the corporate finance support team for Canteen, a $3B segment of Compass Group. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, various corporate departments, and warehouse operations nationwide. The focus of this role is on consolidated accounting support, funding reconciliations, special projects, and management reporting.

While this position includes traditional accounting tasks such as closing journal entries and monthly reconciliations, a significant portion of your time will be dedicated to designing new processes or enhancing existing ones. Our approach is more strategic than transactional, with substantial contributions made through the facilitation of new initiatives and the promotion of accounting efficiencies and compliance.

Key Responsibilities
  • Coordinate accounting processes for new product or process initiatives.
  • Develop reconciliation templates to ensure consistency across all operations.
  • Oversee funding from various sources for all credit card transactions. Monitor balance sheet clearing accounts and collaborate with controllers to resolve discrepancies. Manage consolidated funding reconciliations.
  • Reconcile and document sales from offline systems.
  • Become proficient in our client commission process and provide training to operations controllers.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of accounting procedures.
  • Assist with the integration of new business acquisitions.
  • Engage in special projects as required.
Qualifications
  • Solid understanding of general ledger accounting and balance sheet mechanics.
  • Proficient in managing and analyzing large datasets.
  • Advanced skills in Excel (including lookups, pivot tables, and Power Query experience is a plus).
  • Experience with large ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, etc.).
  • Comfortable navigating multiple software platforms to extract information.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to review work for accuracy.
  • 3-5 years of experience in a general accounting role.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
Success Factors
  • Driven by a desire for continuous improvement and not satisfied with the status quo.
  • Open to learning new concepts and adaptable to change.
  • Enjoys mastering new software platforms.
  • Capable of communicating complex ideas to various internal and external stakeholders.
  • Willing to propose innovative solutions.
  • Able to build relationships with colleagues across different locations and departments.
  • Skilled in locating missing or unclear information.

We operate in the office Tuesday through Thursday and offer remote work on Mondays and Fridays. Complimentary on-site meals and snacks are provided.
