Our client is one of the world's largest real estate developers, with a global presence spanning North America, Europe, and Asia and a track record of over 630 million square feet of development. Their Canadian operation is headquartered in the GTA and active across Western Canada, with a team that supports both operational assets and active construction projects - build-to-suit and speculative - for institutional capital partners.

The Canadian finance team is lean, experienced, and growing. This Accountant role is newly created to support the firm's continued expansion, and sits at the intersection of property accounting and construction/project accounting. You will report directly to the Controller and work closely with project teams, property managers, and operations on a daily basis.

The scope is broad and execution-focused: you'll own AR and AP deliverables, drive month-end close, prepare capital partner reporting, and ensure HST filings are accurate and on time. If you're a hands-on accountant who wants real exposure to a complex, multi-stakeholder development environment - and you want to grow within a firm that's consistently increasing its footprint - this is a strong platform to do it from.
