We are partnered with a leading, dynamic real estate investment and development organization with a substantial portfolio of residential and commercial projects. They are seeking a Senior Corporate Accountant to join their finance team and manage the complex financial reporting and consolidation function. This role is ideal for a hands‑on, technically strong CPA seeking ownership over the core financial statements within a challenging, multi‑entity environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the entity consolidation process, including all complex intercompany eliminations, equity accounting for joint ventures (JVs), and minority interest calculations.
• Prepare and finalize accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual consolidated financial statements for the company and its subsidiaries, ensuring strict compliance with ASPE.
• Coordinate and rigorously review financial reporting packages received from various development entities and partnerships to maintain reporting consistency.
• Oversee and drive the efficiency of the month‑end and year‑end close processes, ensuring accurate accruals and comprehensive account reconciliations.
• Collaborate with operational teams to analyze project performance, ensure appropriate cost allocations, and correctly handle the capitalization of real estate development costs.
• Prepare detailed variance analysis and management reports to clearly communicate and explain complex consolidated financial results to senior leadership.
• Act as a key liaison in supporting external audit and tax reporting by compiling necessary schedules, documentation, and technical support.
• Research, document, and implement technical accounting policies and standards related to consolidation, ASPE, and real estate revenue recognition (ASC 606/IFRS 15 principles).

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.
• CPA Certification is strongly preferred, but not required.
• 5‑8 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3 years specializing in financial reporting or corporate consolidation.
• Mandatory prior experience in the real estate development industry, real estate investment (REITs), property management, or joint venture accounting is highly desirable.
• In‑depth technical knowledge and practical application of ASPE, particularly in complex areas like consolidation and real estate cost accounting.
• Experience utilizing Microsoft Dynamics or similar large‑scale ERP/accounting software.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, including complex financial modeling and data manipulation skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail, commitment to internal control compliance, and effective cross‑functional communication abilities.

The Opportunity

• Take ownership of the entire consolidated financial reporting process, offering high visibility within the organization's corporate structure.
• Work directly with complex, high‑impact technical accounting areas (JVs, multi‑entity consolidation) that are core to the real estate development business model.
• Join a finance team dedicated to efficiency, process improvement, and implementing best practices in a stable, established private company.
• Gain exposure to senior management and external auditors, strengthening both technical and professional relationship skills.
• Competitive compensation package and support for continued professional development (CPD).
