• Apply accounting principles, including revenue recognition requirements, and identify situations requiring further accounting review.
• Challenge assumptions and forecasts constructively based on financial analysis and an understanding of business operations.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial analyses, processes, accuracy and efficiency.
• Manage special requests and collaborate on internal finance initiatives and projects.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
• Post-secondary education in accounting, finance or a related discipline.
• CPA designation preferred. Candidates with relevant finance/accounting education and demonstrated accounting experience may also be considered.
• Approximately 4-5+ years of relevant professional experience, ideally including financial analysis, accounting and/or business partnering.

• Advanced Excel skills and the ability to work effectively with financial systems and large datasets.
• Understanding of accounting principles and revenue recognition, including exposure to IFRS.
• Ability to work confidently with operational stakeholders and take ownership of financial matters within your area of responsibility.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with stakeholders at various levels, including senior management.
