• Continuously develop your consulting toolkit and technical expertise through structured learning and mentorship.
• Help foster an inclusive, collaborative environment where colleagues feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work.

What you bring to the role

• Strong foundation in accounting principles and/or completion of an accounting designation (CPA or equivalent) is considered an asset.
• Experience with finance-enabling technologies such as SAP, Oracle, Workday, or Microsoft Dynamics 365, or a desire to specialize in one of these platforms.
• 3-5 years of combined consulting or relevant industry experience in accounting or finance processes.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field from an accredited university.
• Ability to facilitate workshops, lead collaborative sessions, and drive consensus among diverse stakeholders.
• Superior communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage client stakeholders and support/lead the creation of project deliverables.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work creatively and collaboratively to address client requirements.
• Project management skills, including the ability to create and manage a project plan, analyze project financials, and identify project risks/issues and suggest mitigation strategies.
