What you will do
- Prepare and analyze monthly and quarterly journal entries, financial statements and reporting packages, with accuracy and on tight timelines

- Investigate results, run variance analysis and handle ad hoc reporting requests
- Document, streamline and automate manual journal entries and month-end close processes

- Research and implement new or changed reporting requirements
- Work with business partners and the wider Finance team to improve consolidated reporting and support forecasting

- Professional accounting designation (CPA, CA, CGA, CMA) or equivalent experience (3 years)
- 3+ years in financial services in progressive finance roles
- Exceptional Excel skills (essential)
- Power Query experience
- Knowledge of investment products, investment accounting or financial reporting for investments
- Experience working with large data sets and automating manual processes
- Ability to work independently, with strong attention to detail (this is a seasoned role, not a junior one)
- Strong communication skills, and the ability to juggle competing priorities and shifting requests
Nice to have

- Power BI or Tableau (dashboards and reports)
- Experience with month-end close automation
