- Coordinate the annual audit process with external auditors, including preparation of audit working papers and responses to audit queries.
- Manage the accounts payable process, including invoice coding and approval, payment processing, and vendor reconciliations.
- Process semi-monthly U.S. and Canadian payroll and review and code employee expense reports, ensuring appropriate taxes are recorded and remitted.
- Prepare monthly management reporting, including cash position, burn-rate analysis, and budget-to-actual variances for review by the CFO and Board.
- Manage cash flow forecasting and treasury activities, including bank account administration and inter company funding.
- Assist with budgets, forecasts, and financial models to support corporate planning and financing activities.
- Support the CFO with SEDAR+ continuous disclosure filings and coordinate with the transfer agent, legal counsel, and other external advisors as needed.
- Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts, including accurate allocation of costs across projects and cost centres.
- Assist with GST/HST, payroll remittances, and other tax compliance matters, including coordination with external tax advisors.
- Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, systems, reporting, and controls, including the effective use of QuickBooks and Expensify.
- Provide accounting and financial analysis support to the CFO and management team as required.
Must-Have Qualifications & Skills
