Accountant, Alberta Housebuilding (Calgary, AB)

Let’s be honest, you’re not just an accountant. 

You’re someone who wants to understand what’s behind the numbers, not just report them. When something doesn’t tie, you dig in. When timelines are tight, you deliver. And when something can be done better, you speak up.

Support community cash flow forecasts and proformas; collaborate with project teams to align on key assumptions

Support year-end audit/review processes

Partner with internal stakeholders (operations, finance, and corporate teams) to fulfill information requests and contribute to process and system improvements

Provide ad hoc analysis and support to the Housebuilding Accounting Manager/Director as required
