accountant level 3 - 37350445.

Operating out of the Cambridge facility, the Accountant Level 3 will serve as a key driver of Canadian tax compliance, statutory reporting, and financial integrity for Rockwell Automation Canada Ltd. Working in close collaboration with external "Big 4" advisory firms (KPMG and PwC), this role is responsible for the meticulous preparation of federal and provincial corporate returns, international transaction disclosures, and internal tax accounting provisions.

You will leverage dual ERP systems (SAP and Oracle) to extract, reconcile, and book tax-related entries, while acting as a vital frontline contact for federal and provincial tax authorities during audits. This role demands an independent, detail-oriented accounting professional who thrives on structural accuracy, adheres strictly to regulatory timelines, and excels in a sophisticated corporate landscape.

•Conduct Transfer Pricing (TP) analysis, populate TP templates, and assist the TP Manager in responding to queries from PwC.
Internal Tax Reporting
•Prepare the Hard Close tax provision (September) and Year-End tax provision (October).
•Complete Return to Provision (RTP) processing after tax returns are filed.
•Manage quarterly tax payments/refunds templates and handle tax events reporting to Corporate Tax.

•Reconcile all tax-related GL accounts in Oracle and book income tax journal entries in SAP.

Qualifications
•System Expertise: Strong working knowledge of SAP and Oracle is required. You must have a proven ability to extract, analyze, reconcile, and record financial data fluidly within both environments.
•Corporate Tax Knowledge: Deep familiarity with Canadian corporate tax structures, statutory financial statements, and foreign affiliate reporting schedules.
•Communication & Professionalism: Excellent communication skills, with experience professionally managing relationships with external audit firms and corporate stakeholders.
