JOB OVERVIEW

Our client, a leading-edge Kingston-based property development company, with a reputation for excellence, innovation, and customer service, is seeking a meticulous and focused individual to be our Internal Audit & Compliance Specialist, a position of great responsibility within our growing company.
The job requires a person with an exacting mind, and a passion for process and problem solving. Our new Internal Audit & Compliance Specialist must have the precision of a surgeon, the curiosity of a forensic detective and be a wizard with numbers.
What We’re Looking For:
- Someone who has demonstrated success in identifying and helping to mitigate accounting discrepancies and irregularities as well as issues related to compliance with regulations and policies of the CRA and other governing bodies.
- Skillful financial reconciliation abilities for bank/credit card transactions, intercompany accounts, capital asset schedules and accounts payable/receivable.
- A person who can quickly develop a seamless comprehension of internal transactional flow, to effectively evaluate current financial practices to ensure they meet organizational objectives, adhere to company policies, and to identify areas of potential risk.
- Proficiency in ensuring financial records, both past and present, accurately represent the company’s position in order to support third-party audits and to act as facilitator for these processes working alongside external auditors, lawyers, the CRA and other regulatory agencies.
- Provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations on any necessary remediation and improvements to accounting processes that help enact risk avoidance strategies, in reports that are solution-oriented and organized in a format that can be digested efficiently by the CEO and senior management.
What You Bring to the Table:
- Post-secondary degree in Finance, Accounting or related field.
- Professional designation with either a CA, CPA, CGA or CMA, with fluent understanding of GAAP and CRA legislation and policies.
- Minimum of five years’ experience in a regulatory environment, with a focus on risk management and internal policy compliance, ideally within the real estate, construction or development sectors.
- Current knowledge of appropriate financial and auditing procedures, software (e.g. Yardi and Sage 300, Advance Excel) and best practices. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in Data Analytics.
- A self-starter with a keen eye, disciplined mind, superior attention to detail, discretion and the ability to work independently, but also a willingness to collaborate with other team members or senior management, when necessary.
If you would like join our team, please submit your resume and cover letter including salary expectations, in the strictest of confidence. We thank all applicants for their interest: however, only those under consideration will be contacted.
We are committed to maintaining inclusive, barrier-free recruitment and selection processes and work environments.
