Experience with multi-entity structures, intercompany transactions, and consolidated reporting
Proficiency in QuickBooks across multiple company files
Ability to independently manage month-end and year-end close
Working knowledge of GAAP/ASPE, GST on real property, and CRA compliance

Nice to Have

Experience as the sole or primary accountant in a lean finance team
Familiarity with Procore or similar construction software
