MBS Radio is a locally owned and operated broadcasting company with radio stations serving communities throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.

With a strong presence across the Maritimes, MBS Radio connects local communities through radio while supporting businesses with advertising and marketing opportunities.

• Investigate discrepancies and follow up on missing or incomplete financial information.
• Maintain organized electronic financial records and supporting documentation.
• Support monthly financial close procedures and recurring accounting deadlines.
• Assist with year-end accounting requirements and external audits or reviews.
• Provide general accounting and administrative support to the finance team.
