• Strong written and spoken English; sound professional judgment, organization, and attention to detail; and relevant post-secondary accounting, taxation, or related education.
• Willingness and ability to work on-site in Newport Beach and relocate if necessary.

Preferred qualifications and technology

• U.S. CPA, Canadian CPA, or equivalent credentials; U.S./Canada cross-border compliance and advisory experience; international reporting; and financial statement, audit, or review experience. Familiarity with ASPE, IFRS, or U.S. GAAP is valued as relevant to assigned work.
