  • 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
