Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a consistent full time work week in a supportive, professional environment. To note, this role is *on site* in Coquitlam.

Software Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Sage 50 is highly preferred.
Intermediate Excel: Must be comfortable using VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables to manage and reconcile data.
