About The Position
The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) is looking to hire a Senior Accountant (Temporary) to join our Finance division in Victoria! The term of this position is 10 months. Who we are: The LTSA is a publicly accountable, statutory corporation that manages BC's land title and survey systems. These systems provide the foundation for all real property business and ownership in the province. We offer meaningful work in the public interest.

We are a national and global leader in the effective automation of property registration and through technology, we are reducing turnaround time for our customers (e.g., lawyers, notaries, land surveyors, etc.) while also improving the consistency, accuracy and efficiency of our services.
