About Coldmatic
Coldmatic Building Systems is a growing Canadian manufacturer and contractor specializing in insulated building systems, cold storage, controlled environments, and related products.
With annual revenue approaching $10 million, we are looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant who can take ownership of our day-to-day accounting function while improving our financial reporting, controls, job costing, and processes.
This is a long-term opportunity designed to develop into a Controller-level role for the right person.
The Opportunity

You will work directly with company ownership and management to monitor cash flow, strengthen job costing, analyze project profitability, and build scalable financial processes.
This is not a narrowly defined accounting position. You will remain closely involved in transactional accounting while gradually assuming greater responsibility for financial planning, reporting, controls, and the future development of the finance function.
