- Exposure to a high-volume, high-complexity finance operation spanning dozens of branches across the province
- A collaborative, tight-knit team culture where colleagues regularly support one another across functions
- Comprehensive group benefits
- A hybrid work arrangement (2–3 days/week on-site)
- The opportunity to build a strong technical foundation in accounting operations within a business that's scaling quickly through M&A

Key Responsibilities

- Review monthly branch results prior to finalization, flagging missed accruals or entry errors
- Support the month-end close cycle from day 0 through day 10, working within a structured close calendar
- Partner with branch-level bookkeeping staff to ensure accurate and timely reporting
- Provide backup coverage across functional areas during team absences
- Assist with ad hoc reporting and reconciliation requests as the finance team's needs evolve
- Contribute to process improvements as the finance function scales alongside the business
- Collaborate with a broader finance organization that includes FP&A, corporate finance, and executive finance functions
- Support year-end audit requests as needed
- Maintain accurate supporting documentation for all recurring entries and reconciliations
What You Bring
- 1+ years of professional accounting/finance experience (co-op or internship experience considered for more junior candidates)
- Comfort working with high transaction volumes and tight monthly deadlines
- Strong Excel skills and general accounting system proficiency
- Candidates actively pursuing, or who have completed, a CPA designation are encouraged to apply - this role can suit either a career-starter or someone finishing their designation requirements
