• Complete period-end closes, reconciliations and supporting schedules accurately and within agreed timelines. 

• Prepare financial statements, note disclosures and audit support files, and work closely with external auditors through the annual audit process. 

• Review investor subscription documents and support investor due diligence and anti-money laundering processes in accordance with applicable requirements and company procedures. 

• Provide operational support for banking activities, wire preparation, transfers, cash monitoring and account setup, subject to required controls and approvals. 

• Maintain investor and fund records and respond professionally to client and investor questions, including online portal support. 

• Support new fund launches and client onboarding, including accounting setup, reporting requirements and operating procedures. 

• Identify practical opportunities to improve accuracy, controls, documentation, technology use and team efficiency. 

• Maintain books and records in accordance with the accounting framework and reporting requirements applicable to each client, which may include IFRS, U.S. GAAP or other agreed standards. 

What You Bring  

Required  

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience. 

• Three or more years of relevant accounting experience, including fund accounting, fund administration, asset management, alternative investments or a closely related professional services environment. 
• Experience preparing or reviewing reconciliations, fund calculations, financial statements, investor reporting or audit support. 
• Ability to organize competing priorities, meet deadlines, investigate discrepancies and communicate clearly with clients and colleagues. 
• Strong attention to detail, professional judgment and commitment to accurate, well-documented work. 

Compensation and Benefits  

Expected base salary: CAD $85,000-$110,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, qualifications, internal equity, and business needs. In addition to base salary, eligible employees may participate in applicable incentive and benefit programs.
Eligible employees may participate in company-sponsored health, dental, disability, retirement savings, wellness, and other benefit programs in accordance with plan terms.
