Who- the Candidate:
We are looking for designated CPAs (or almost designated) who are personable communicators, and who have the drive and interest to learn the company’s business inside-out. Detail-orientation and an analytical mindset are paramount in this role, as is a calm, cool, and collected work style. Our client has a very high performing accounting & finance department, and we are seeking someone who can seamlessly integrate with this highly collaborative team and reciprocate help to colleagues. Excellent system skills are crucial, and experience using an ERP is an asset.

Downtown Vancouver. Close to public transit and many amenities like restaurants and shops. Once they’ve trained up, the Internal Auditor can choose to work from home 2 days a week.

Where- Work Travel:
As with most internal audit positions, this role will entail travel to all of the company’s operational sites- in North America, Europe, Asia, etc. SWIM will provide more insight into the frequency and length of business trips, but as of now we believe it to be no more than once a quarter, usually for 5 to 10 days at a time. The travel schedule is for the most part well-planned out in advance so the Internal Auditor can take care of any preparation needed in their personal life.

How Much:
Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, skills, education, and if/when CPA designation was achieved- the range on base salary is around $88,000 to $95,000.
