Corporate Accountant

Who We Are
OCL Group Inc. (OCL), is a Canadian company that is privately-held and employee-owned.  We are a fully integrated general contractor with construction and design-build solutions across Western Canada. With the experience you can trust and the quality you can depend on, we have proudly served the industrial, heavy civil, forestry, oil and gas, and mining industries since 2009. 
The formation of OCL was a direct result of a few long-tenured industry professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit, wanting to get back to their roots and build an organization “where people matter”. Formed in 2009, OCL started their first project and began building around a business model focused on “People and Doing the Job Right”.

The Role
We are currently looking to add an experienced Corporate Accountant to our finance team in Edmonton, AB. Reporting to the Financial Controller, this role is responsible for supporting the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of all corporate financial reporting requirements. Key areas of focus include month-end close activities, cash management, accounts receivable processing, and providing support across the accounts payable cycle when required. The Corporate Accountant plays a critical role in strengthening internal processes and controls, evaluating best practices, and contributing to operational excellence within the finance function.

Our Culture
Our employees would describe the work environment as team based, fast paced and entrepreneurial. We believe in hiring “A” Players who are self-motivated and intrinsically driven to succeed. These types of people thrive in environments with minimal guidance because they are resourceful and can seek out information on their own to make informed decisions. Turning around profitable, safe projects for our clients is key to everything we do.

OCL Advantage 

• Employee Ownership - Fosters a culture of ownership, integrity, accountability and desire for group success.
• Flexibility - Intrinsically motivated, “A” players don’t need to be micromanaged. They work hard because they want themselves and the Company to succeed. These types of employees enjoy increased levels of autonomy and flexible schedules.
• Work Hard, Play Hard Culture - We pride ourselves on being a FUN place to work! We work hard but know how to have a good time too! We frequently gather as a group to celebrate wins, holidays and individual milestones.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset - We are always looking for opportunities to expand our business and diversify! We take calculated risks, foster innovation and make quick decisions because we operate in a very low bureaucracy environment.
• Small Business/Family Feel - With the capacity to handle complex, multi-million dollar projects and grow our workforce to over 1500 people quickly, we compete with large General Contractors but pride ourselves in our ability to maintain a “small business/family feel”. We have blue collar roots, so our casual environment and commitment to our hard-working men and women in the trades is key to our success.
