  • Assisting in the development and maintenance of MD&A support schedules and matrices.
  • Ensuring accurate footing and cross-footing across all aspects of SEC reporting.
  • Supporting the manager and senior team members in interactions with, and responses to, requests from external and internal auditors.
  • Assisting with annual benefit plan audits.
  • Contributing to ad hoc projects and process improvements as needed.
  • Taking ownership of annual performance objectives and staying current on developments in accounting standards.

  • Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP with the ability to apply technical knowledge in a practical setting.
  • Strong attention to detail, with excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills (both written and verbal).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, and Outlook.
