Reconcile Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) payments, ensuring appropriate freight and duty allocations to sub-ledgers.

Variance Analysis & Cost Control

Review month-over-month, year-over-year, and historical average variance analyses compiled by the accounting team across expenses and gross margins.
Investigate ledger anomalies or unexpected trends, identifying root causes prior to finalizing financial reports.
Review inventory adjustments to verify reasonability and prevent unauthorized write-offs.

Leadership experience or demonstrated leadership capability is required. Candidates must possess the interpersonal maturity to guide team members in potential future state realignments.
Prior audit experience originating from a public practice accounting firm (or equivalent internal controls/audit experience) is required to support SOP documentation and compliance testing.
