About Us:
In 1983, Choko Motorsports was established and began manufacturing snowmobile clothing. The demand for quality Choko product quickly grew and today, we are designing, manufacturing, and distributing apparel and accessories for the automotive industries and farming. We are proud of our roots and to be privately Canadian owned and operated.
What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking a highly detail-oriented and hands-on Accounting Lead to serve as a key partner and right hand to the Controller. This role is integral to the day-to-day financial operations of the business, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and accountability across all accounting functions while supporting the broader financial health of the organization.
The Accounting Lead will take ownership of core accounting processes including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, reconciliations, and general ledger integrity, while also playing a critical role in supporting reporting, compliance, and operational decision-making.

This position goes well beyond transactional accounting. It requires a strong foundation in full-cycle accounting, a high level of attention to detail, and the ability to understand how financial activity flows across the organization. The ideal candidate is someone who can identify discrepancies, challenge inconsistencies, and proactively implement improvements to strengthen processes and controls.
As a trusted support to the Controller, this role also requires sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to step in as a backup when needed.
