Accountant Level 3 - 37350445

Operating out of the Cambridge facility, the Accountant Level 3 will serve as a key driver of Canadian tax compliance, statutory reporting, and financial integrity for Rockwell Automation Canada Ltd. Working in close collaboration with external "Big 4" advisory firms (KPMG and PwC), this role is responsible for the meticulous preparation of federal and provincial corporate returns, international transaction disclosures, and internal tax accounting provisions.

You will leverage dual ERP systems (SAP and Oracle) to extract, reconcile, and book tax-related entries, while acting as a vital frontline contact for federal and provincial tax authorities during audits. This role demands an independent, detail-oriented accounting professional who thrives on structural accuracy, adheres strictly to regulatory timelines, and excels in a sophisticated corporate landscape.
