• Account for acquisitions and support the integration of newly acquired entities, including helping subsidiaries with month-, quarter- and year-end close
• Reconcile payroll-related GL accounts across entities in partnership with the payroll team
• Support Canadian and U.S. corporate tax requirements, including quarterly U.S. updates
• Participate in inventory counts and related audit procedures
• Document and strengthen internal controls, prioritizing improvements by impact
• Standardize reporting templates and close documentation across the group
• Find ways to automate manual workarounds, improve data flows between systems, and shorten close cycle times
• Research technical accounting questions and support system integration work as it comes up

What You Bring

• 4–7 years of accounting experience, ideally including 3+ years in public accounting (audit/assurance)
• CPA designation preferred. Candidates who have written or are awaiting CFE results, or who hold an equivalent designation, will also be considered
• Working knowledge of acquisition accounting and multi-entity consolidations
• Solid grounding in month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations and variance analysis
• Strong attention to detail and analytical judgment
• Comfort working across several ERPs and legacy systems, and a habit of finding better ways to do things
