  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for both corporate and project operations.
  • Ensure compliance with HST, payroll remittances, WSIB reporting, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Coordinate annual audits and liaise with external accountants, financial institutions, and other stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to improve efficiency and accuracy.
  • Supervise and mentor accounting staff while fostering a collaborative and high-performing team environment.
  • Partner with operations and project management teams to provide financial insights that support business decisions.

Qualifications:

  • CPA designation (or actively pursuing) is strongly preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory role.
  • Previous experience within the construction, real estate development, or project-based industry is required.
  • Strong understanding of construction accounting principles, including job costing, WIP schedules, progress billing, and holdbacks.
  • Experience preparing financial statements and supporting year-end audits.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
  • Experience with construction accounting software such as Jonas, Sage 300, Viewpoint, Procore Financials, or similar ERP systems is considered an asset.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across finance and operations.

What We're Looking For:
