About The Position

We are looking for highly motivated students to join our North American, Corporate and Property Accounting teams at our downtown Toronto head office. In these roles you will have the opportunity to put your accounting and analytical skills to work, assisting the team with full cycle accounting (e.g. month-end and quarter-end closing entries, bank reconciliations, account reconciliations, cash distributions, payments, variance analysis), financial statement preparation (for non-consolidated structures), various group projects and initiatives and our forecasting and budgeting process. Our Accounting teams support our real estate management platform and reporting for our real estate assets in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific. As such, you will have the opportunity to learn about a world class real estate portfolio and the dynamic organization that manages it. We are looking for a candidate with strong attention to detail, analytical skills, problem solving abilities and overall business acumen who can research issues, assist with ad hoc projects and requests, and multitask in a complex environment. In your role, you will have the opportunity to support activities related to Oxford’s Finance and Strategy Team’s Learning and Culture platforms. Oxford is also a pre-approved training office for our Property Accountant and Financial Analyst roles, as such, if you are a registered CPA student your experience during your work term will immediately count as relevant experience towards the CPA designation. In addition, if you complete two four-month work terms with us, you will be eligible to apply for a two-year Accounting Rotational Program upon graduation.
