Accounting & Finance Manager
Join a Strong Team and Make a Meaningful Impact
At Pivot, we don’t view Finance & Administration as just a back-office support function. We believe it should help solve problems, improve systems, support great people, and help our operating companies make smarter decisions.
We’re a growing group of companies where you’ll have the opportunity to work with a great team, continuously improve and optimize our cloud-based systems and processes, and leave a lasting impact on the organization.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to close the books and move on to the next month. This is a role for someone who enjoys accounting, reporting, problem-solving, systems, people, and continuous improvement.
About Pivot
Pivot Private Equity is a privately owned investment company with our head office located in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Our group of companies operates across several industries, including energy services, manufacturing, industrial services, and safety and training. We work closely with our businesses to improve systems, support leaders, develop people, and build stronger companies.
Why We’re Hiring
Our accounting and finance team is strong, but our group of companies has continued to grow and become more complex.
We are looking for an experienced accounting and finance professional who can step in and contribute immediately while also helping us improve how the Finance & Administration function operates over time.
For the right person, this role has the potential to grow into a broader Finance & Administration leadership position.

You are organized, dependable, proactive, and great to work with. You take ownership, ask good questions, and help move things forward.
