About the Role<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Corporate Accountant maintains an even balance of two key priorities; the first is to ensure timely, accurate financial reporting for the organization from accounts payable, bank reconciliations, accounts receivable, month end, quarterly and annual financial reporting. The second, is to liaise with identified proponents and our internal financial team to provide and verify essential financial information for claims submissions. In short, this role works tirelessly to make sure our corporate financial reporting is timely and accurate and project costs are clearly understood, documented, compliant, approved and recorded. Combining your critical thinking skills, high level of accuracy and work quality with a sense of urgency is essential to be successful in this role. You will be working in newly emerging markets, programs and processes; some of which you could enhance to provide both timely client service and a high level of accuracy with your work. This is an amazing opportunity to hone your skills and gain insight into emerging markets. If you pride yourself on being personable, curious and detail oriented, we would like to meet you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
