Must Have

  • 3+ years of full-cycle accounting experience in construction, real estate development, or project-based accounting
  • Hands-on experience preparing construction draw packages and managing project cost capitalization
  • 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

  • Familiarity with Procore or similar construction software
  • Exposure to CMHC-insured financing or lender reporting on multi-family development draws
  • Comfort making judgment calls when draw deadlines or audit requests shift priorities
