Your New Employer

Our client is a highly respected Canadian real estate investment, development, and asset management platform with a diversified portfolio spanning North America and Europe. With significant assets under management and a complex operating structure, the organization manages a sophisticated portfolio of real estate investments and operating platforms across multiple asset classes.

The business continues to evolve under new finance leadership, with a strong focus on enhancing internal controls, improving reporting processes, and strengthening the overall finance function.

This opportunity offers the chance to join a collaborative and forward-thinking finance team and contribute meaningfully to the continued evolution of the organization’s corporate accounting infrastructure within a dynamic and fast-paced real estate platform.

Your New Role

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Manager, Corporate Accounting, will play a key role in overseeing corporate accounting operations and supporting the financial reporting process across a complex legal-entity structure.

The role is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of financial information within a highly sophisticated environment that includes a large number of legal entities and consolidated investment structures. The successful candidate will contribute to the monthly and quarterly close processes, support the preparation of consolidated financial statements and MD&A disclosures, and ensure compliance with IFRS and public company reporting requirements.

Beyond core accounting responsibilities, the role will provide financial analysis and insight to support management reporting and business decision-making. The Manager will work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure accurate financial information is gathered and reported across the organization, while also supporting audit, tax, and compliance requirements.

A key component of the role is leadership. The Manager will be responsible for mentoring and developing a small team, reviewing deliverables, and fostering a high-performing and accountable team environment. This individual will be expected to act as a strong people leader who can elevate team capability while remaining hands-on in the day-to-day accounting operations.

You will have a strong technical foundation in IFRS and experience working within complex, multi-entity structures that require a high level of rigour and attention to detail.

You will have a proven track record in corporate accounting operations, including ownership of month-end close processes, consolidations, and financial reporting support. Experience within real estate, asset management, or similarly structured investment platforms will be highly valued.

Equally important is your ability to lead and develop others. This role requires a strong people manager who enjoys mentoring team members, providing feedback, and building a high-performing and engaged team. You are someone who can balance hands-on technical work with leadership responsibilities while maintaining high standards of accuracy and accountability.

You are a collaborative and solutions-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working through complex accounting challenges, and is motivated by the opportunity to improve processes and contribute to a growing and evolving organization.
