About The Position

AmpThink is seeking a designated CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) to manage the financial operations of its Canadian office in Fort Erie. This senior, accounting-led role involves owning the Canadian entity's books, handling Canadian tax and payroll remittances, and serving as the on-the-ground financial contact. The position offers a genuinely cross-border opportunity, requiring the management of a Canadian set of books that reports to a U.S. parent, including reconciling intercompany activity, working in both CAD and USD, and bridging Canadian requirements with U.S. head-office processes. The role is on-site in Fort Erie and is well-suited for someone in the Niagara region seeking a stable position close to home. Experience in construction or project-based accounting is a plus, as it aligns with AmpThink's venue projects. This is a newly created position.
