Job Description
We are looking for an experienced finance professional who is not only great with numbers, but also eager to be part of a dynamic and collaborative team. You will play a vital role in shaping our financial landscape and directly contribute to our success
Your role is to support and assist compliance efforts related to financial reporting to achieve and maintain adherence to SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) requirements. You will also play a crucial role in external audits, both for Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) and financial audits.
Responsibilities :
- Understand all SOX process flows, risks, and control matrices for operational processes and IT systems relevant to the financial reporting process. Use this knowledge for the financial risk assessment process and the implementation of controls.
- Coordinate all SOX testing (internal and external), including walkthrough planning, sample selection, effectiveness testing, and providing requested supporting documentation to external auditors.
- Follow up with stakeholders responsible for various process controls to ensure that all risks are addressed.
- Monitor the remediation of deficiencies and perform testing to validate corrections.
- Support the corporate controller for the year-end audit.
Requirements
To join our team, you need:
- University degree in accounting, finance, management, or experience related to a control framework, such as COSO.
- Understand and document the transaction flow, such as a sale made when a customer purchases a product in one of our stores until it is recorded in the financial statements.
- Conduct a risk assessment on the transaction flow and determine whether any risks remain unaddressed.
- Excellent communication skills in both French and English, spoken and written. In this role, you will regularly collaborate with internal clients across Canada.
