Reporting to the AVP of Canadian Banking Controllership, you will serve as a key member of the Finance Controllership team. Your primary focus will be ensuring the accuracy and integrity of loan ledgers and financial reporting systems. You will oversee monthly accounting activities, including loan accounting advisory, investigation of process issues, and complex reconciliations.

This is a 6-month contract based in downtown Toronto.

Execute thorough accounting reviews of loan contracts to eliminate existing backlogs and ensure compliance
Investigate, analyze, and provide clear explanations for financial results and variances
Lead month-end close activities, ensuring all loan accounting and reconciliations are completed accurately and on time
Identify bottlenecks in current accounting workflows and implement improvements to increase efficiency
Act as a subject matter expert for loan accounting inquiries and resolve complex process issues as they arise
Requirements:
5+ years of relevant accounting or financial analysis experience, specifically within financial service institutions
Advanced proficiency in Excel (VBA, Macros, complex formulas) and familiarity with AI tools to enhance productivity
Strong understanding of IFRS accounting standards
Experience with ACBS or General Ledger applications (SAP, Oracle) is a significant asset
University degree in Finance or Accounting
A CPA designation (or equivalent) is highly preferred
Must be a driven, results-oriented problem solver with the ability to work independently and communicate clearly with onshore teams
What we offer:
High-Level Exposure: Opportunity to work closely with Senior Management and VPs, providing great internal visibility
Career Growth: Gain specialized exposure to loan accounting and controllership within a major financial institution
