What you will do

  • Remain current on applicable and evolving financial reporting standards, including ESG, and securities and regulatory requirements and developing accounting/business issues.
  • Assist clients with a broad scope of financial reporting activities during periods of change related to acquisitions, divestitures, and transactions, including the preparation of financial statements (often for a variety of purposes and under different regulatory environments), preparation of working papers and liaising with the clients' auditors.
  • Assist clients with evaluating the requirements of accounting, reporting and disclosure standards, preparing supporting analyses, including drafting reports and presentations, and analyzing differences between different accounting frameworks.
  • Develop fit-for-purpose solutions through obtaining understanding of clients' preferences and business constraints.
  • Work with broader KPMG advisory teams including Management Consulting, Risk Consulting and Deal Advisory, in support of process/control redesign and advising on other business implications to your clients when assessing the impact of accounting change.
What you bring to the role
  • Relevant post-secondary degree and/or CPA, CA (or recognized national accounting designation).
  • 5+ years' experience in Audit or Accounting Advisory.
  • Ambition to learn new things as well as analyze, research, and solve problems on complex accounting issues, while displaying good judgment.
  • Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving capabilities and a desire to enhance technical skills through researching and analyzing accounting standards (IFRS, US GAAP, or ASPE), including an ability to distill the principle out of complex accounting standards (including basis for conclusions and implementation guidance) and an ability to process complex fact patterns and scenarios.
  • Knowledge in one or more of the following accounting topics under IFRS or US GAAP: Financial instruments Revenue from contracts with customers, Leases, Business combinations, Consolidation, Joint arrangements, Share-based payments, Impairment, Employee benefits, and biological assets.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills (including preparation of technical memos and presentations), with the ability to 'uncomplicate the complicated' by expressing ideas clearly, convincingly and concisely to both external and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to deliver assignments on time, as well as manage competing demands, without sacrificing attention to detail.
  • Versatility and adaptability to a dynamic and often fast-paced environment.
  • Extensive knowledge of Excel and experience with advance functions within Excel including pivot table and VLOOKUP.
  • Roles will also require the ability and willingness to travel, sometimes extensively, within Canada and the U.S., as well as internationally.
The selected candidate must demonstrate excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly explain and simplify complex audit and reporting matters for diverse audiences. Proficiency in English is required, as the position involves communicating and delivering presentations to clients and stakeholders at KPMG Canada in English-speaking regions of Canada.
