Job Title: Senior Corporate Accountant

Location: Greater Hamilton Area, ON (On-site, full-time)

Salary: $75,000–$95,000 annually (depending on experience)

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).
