• across sales, rental, and usage commission categories, including related
• compensation reclasses, service commission reclass and allocation, wage
• accruals, and 401(k) forfeiture reclasses.

• Prepare and maintain reconciliations for payroll-, compensation-, and

commission-related balance sheet accounts.

• Calculate and process the quarterly Sales Leader Bonus, including

completion of the calculation and audit of manager submissions.

• Perform data loads and checks within the commission system to ensure

accurate commission calculation and reporting.

• Prepare bookings and sales profit summary reporting, and submit

payments-to-payroll reporting for commission payouts.

• Support ongoing commission system maintenance and enhancements as the

• commission structure evolves, including integration of Service, Rentals, and
• Parts commissions.

• Assist in building and maintaining a recurring commission

dashboard/reporting package for Sales Leadership.

• Support periodic and monthly external audit requests related to payroll

and compensation.

Cash Management & Reconciliation

• Perform daily cash management, including monitoring bank balances,

tracking cash position, and supporting daily funding or transfer decisions.

• Prepare timely and accurate daily and monthly cash reconciliations,

identifying and resolving reconciling items.

• Coordinate with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and banking

contacts to resolve discrepancies and ensure accurate cash reporting.

• Maintain supporting documentation for cash transactions in accordance

with internal control and audit requirements.

General Month-End Close Support

• Assist with other close-related journal entries, account

reconciliations, and supporting schedules as assigned.

• Support ad hoc analysis and reporting requests from the Corporate

Controller.

• Participate in continuous improvement of close processes and

documentation.

• Perform any other duties as assigned or required to support the

company's overall operations and objectives.

Requirements

• All potential hires are subject to pre-employment checks which include but are

• checks.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 1-3 years of general accounting experience; experience with payroll,

commission, or cash accounting preferred.

• Basic knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

required; International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) preferred.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with ERP systems required.
• Familiarity with commission or compensation systems (e.g., Captivate) a

plus.

• Strong attention to detail and demonstrated reconciliation/account

• Ability to manage a high volume of recurring deadlines across daily,

monthly, and quarterly cycles.

Our Ideal Candidate Is…

• Highly organized and deadline-driven, able to juggle overlapping daily,

monthly, and quarterly cycles without dropping the ball.

• A natural reconciler who digs into discrepancies until they're resolved,

not just documented.

• Comfortable working across systems — ERP, commission platforms like

Captivate, and banking portals — and quick to pick up new tools.

• Trustworthy with sensitive compensation and cash data, with a strong

instinct for internal controls.

• A clear communicator who can explain a payroll, commission, or cash

issue to non-finance stakeholders in Sales, Payroll, or Treasury.

• Proactive about process improvement, flagging inefficiencies in

• recurring close, commission, or reconciliation work rather than just pushing
• through them.

• Steady under audit or month-end pressure, and dependable as a go-to

resource for the Controller's team.
