Calvert Home Mortgage (CHMIC) is a full-service alternative mortgage investment firm that supports homeowners, investors, and brokers to achieve their goals by seeing the person behind every mortgage. We are on a mission to be the most trusted lending solution in Canada by putting people first, focusing on their success, and always doing the right thing.

Simply put, our team is the best in the business. Our expertise and experience are unrivalled -but its our caring approach that really sets us apart.

Calverts longevity and continued success is due to our shared sense of purpose and the understanding that relationships are far more important than transactions. We were founded on the principle of kitchen table lending -taking the time to build trust by listening to our customers, understanding their unique needs and goals, educating them on their options, and finding a solution that's right for them. That might sound obvious but, in our experience, its not the norm.

We are looking for a Senior Accountant to be a part of an exciting growth-focused company who truly cares about its employees. At Calvert Home Mortgage we are champions of a culture that creates a positive work environment, which will allow you to thrive and be a contributor to the long-term success of the company.

At Calvert Home Mortgage we offer competitive salaries, a bonus program, share ownership, extended health and dental benefits, a free on-site fitness facility, a location that avoids the downtown commute and free parking.

WHATS THE BIG IDEA?

As our Senior Accountant, you will be at the heart of our numbers game! From keeping our financial reporting on point to ensuring compliance with various acts and regulations, you'll be the go-to expert for maintaining financial integrity across our organization. Your day might include mastering cash flows, managing monthly working papers, analyzing departmental variances, and dazzling auditors with meticulously prepared documentation.

But wait, there's more! You'll collaborate with peers, streamline accounting processes, and play a key role in group activities, like a ERP implementation because numbers are more fun when you're part of a team. If IFRS compliance, Alberta Securities Commission reporting, and crafting financial statements get your calculator clicking, this is the perfect role for you. Join us and lets make balance sheets exciting!"
