Are we right for you...

Are you a CPA who enjoys resolving complex accounting issues, strengthening financial controls, and ensuring financial information is accurate, reliable, and meaningful?

Perhaps you've built a strong foundation in financial reporting and audit and are looking for an opportunity to broaden your impact through treasury management, financial analysis, reporting, compliance, and process improvement.

If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, partnering with stakeholders across an organization, and continuously improving how financial results are delivered and communicated, this could be the next step in your career.

Please note that this is a 12-month term opportunity.

In this role you will be asked to...

You will prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual close including the creation and review of financial statements and reports, support internal and external stakeholders, and provide expertise on complex accounting matters. A strong understanding of Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) and financial reporting best practices will help you succeed in this role.

You will play a key role in audit activities, including preparing technical analysis and accounting position papers , supporting interim and year-end audit fieldwork, coordinating audit deliverables, and responding to auditor inquiries. Experience working directly with external auditors and managing audit processes will be highly valued.

As a senior member of the team, you'll mentor colleagues, support cross-departmental initiatives, and identify opportunities to improve processes, controls, systems, and reporting practices.

Competing priorities and tight deadlines. This role supports monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles while balancing audit, treasury, and operational demands.
A hands-on role. Success requires actively engaging with reconciliations, analysis, audit support, and process improvements rather than focusing solely on oversight or review.
