The company is proudly Canadian and provides Dismounted/Mounted Domain Expertise in Command-and-Control software development, integration, and support services.

This is a hands-on position bridging day-to-day transaction processing with ongoing reporting and support for internal stakeholders. You will take ownership of defined areas of the close and reporting process, and provide hands-on support to the company’s internal control program, working closely with the Corporate Controller and the Director, FP&A.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting and Month-End Close:

Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals
Own defined balance sheet areas, such as fixed assets, prepaids, and accruals
Review AP and AR subledger activity
Support inventory costing, variance analysis, and reconciliation of inventory to the general ledger in coordination with the Inventory Coordinator
Assist with foreign currency revaluation and intercompany accounting, where applicable

Financial Reporting:

Assist in preparing monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements, MD&A support schedules, and footnote disclosures
Prepare supporting schedules and tie-outs for regulatory filings
Coordinate with the Director, FP&A and Financial Reporting on actual-to-budget variance analysis
Support audit requests, including preparing PBC schedules and responding to auditor queries

Internal Controls and Compliance:

Support the Corporate Controller and Director, FP&A in the execution of the company’s ICFR program, including preparing test documentation, gathering evidence, and performing walkthroughs under their direction
Perform assigned control activities within the close and reporting process, and maintain supporting evidence to audit-ready standards
Maintain process narratives, risk and control matrices, and control evidence repositories
Track deficiencies and remediation actions, and escalate issues promptly to the control owners
Identify control gaps and process improvement opportunities, and propose practical solutions for review
Support the preparation of information for management certifications and the external auditors’ controls-related requests

Team and Process:

Contribute to a collaborative, all-hands environment, including backing up processes as needed
Help document and improve finance procedures, checklists, and close calendars
Support ad hoc projects such as system implementations, ERP enhancements, and policy updates

Qualifications:

Required:

Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related discipline
CPA designation, or currently enrolled in the final stage of the CPA program (e.g., CPA PEP module 2/3 or CFE preparation)
2–3 years of post-graduate accounting experience
Strong working knowledge of IFRS
Strong attention to detail, with a documented, process-driven approach to work
Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation techniques) and a modern ERP/accounting system
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Strong Assets:

Public accounting experience (audit or assurance) with a recognized firm
Experience at a publicly listed company or with SEC reporting
Exposure to SOX 404, NI 52-109, or COSO-based internal control frameworks (hands-on testing or documentation experience is an asset; ownership is not required)
Manufacturing or inventory costing experience
Payroll experience
Experience with ERP systems and automation tools

What We Offer:

Broad exposure to the full accounting cycle, public company reporting, and internal controls in a small, collaborative team
Competitive compensation and benefits
