About the role

You See Stories in Spreadsheets. We See You. The Opportunity ** This posting is for a temporary full-time position for 18 months ** In school, you weren’t just good at math – you were an Iron Man-level mathlete! The thing you look forward to most about going out with friends for dinner is calculating how much everyone owes and how much to tip (of course, doing it all in your head). While everyone else is looking forward to spring, you’re celebrating tax season. Sound familiar? Then you might just be the person we’re looking for. We’re looking for a top-notch accountant with a love of all things financial to join our finance team to support business leaders and stakeholders by providing actionable and reliable financial information and reports. A Place to Belong AMA is more than a workplace; it’s a family.

And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless! For us, curiosity fuels innovation. We value people who are eager to explore new ideas and who are comfortable putting emerging technologies into practice. We see experience with AI‑powered tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and similar platforms as a real plus - especially when it’s used to work smarter, increase efficiency, and find better ways to get things done. Building on a century of proud service in Alberta communities, we’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the places where we live and work. And that all begins with our people.

Paid vacation and personal days, including three weeks of vacation to start, a Me Day, a Volunteer Day, and the option to purchase additional vacation time. Flexible work models that make sense for your lifestyle, including our four-day work week option: Alongside our other work models, this option gives you another way to harmonize work and life in a way that’s personally meaningful and aligned with your role. Available to eligible fully in-office and fully remote roles, with tailored guidelines to fit department-specific needs. Requires a 12-month commitment; eligible employees can opt in or opt out annually during the benefit renewal period.

You have an inquisitive mind and love coming up with new ways to tackle a challenge and dig deeper to find the perfect solution. Deadlines? No sweat. You’ve got mad time management skills, so you always deliver on time. You think that important stories are buried in numbers and you want to be the one that finds them. How You’ll Make an Impact Reporting to the Manager, Finance, you’ll prepare accurate monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and reports in a timely manner. Analyze business operations, trends, costs and revenues to estimate future outcome. Compile general ledger account analysis and reconciliations.
