  • Prepare accurate, timely consolidated financial statements, management reports, and variance analyses for senior leadership and the Board of Directors.
  • Serve as the primary contact for external auditors, managing the annual audit process and supporting audit readiness and the timely resolution of findings and control deficiencies.

Financial Data Warehouse

  • Participate in designing, implementing, and maintaining an electronic data warehouse (EDW) to centralize financial, operational, and statistical data.
  • Define finance requirements for standardized data collection, mapping pipelines, and extraction methodologies across all entities to ensure a "single source of truth."
  • Partner with IT and operations teams to translate complex accounting structures into robust relational data models and automated reporting dashboards.
  • Ensure the data warehouse supports historical archiving, multi-period audit readiness, and quick data retrieval for M&A due diligence.

Financial Systems & Access Management

  • Serve as the primary business owner for the group's key financial systems and ERP platform.
  • Design, implement, and manage a user access management framework, ensuring strict Segregation of Duties (SoD) across all entities, in partnership with IT and system administrators.
  • Periodically review system access permissions to comply with internal controls, corporate governance, and data privacy regulations.

Group Taxation (Canada & US)

  • Oversee cross-border tax compliance, including corporate income tax filings, GST/HST, PST, and QST in Canada, and federal, state, and local tax filings in the US, coordinating filings with internal teams and external advisors.
  • Coordinate with external tax advisors and CPAs on transfer pricing documentation, permanent establishment risks, and nexus studies.
  • Manage indirect tax reporting and ensure compliance with multi-state and multi-provincial tax regulations.

Technical Accounting & Policies

  • Research, interpret, and implement new accounting standards under applicable accounting standards.
  • Develop, document, and maintain comprehensive corporate accounting policies and internal control procedures across all group entities.
  • Provide technical accounting guidance on complex transactions, including business combinations, asset acquisitions, and revenue recognition.

Leadership & Process Improvement

  • Provide functional leadership, mentorship and technical guidance to corporate accountants and controllers through a matrixed relationship.
