Job Description
Imagine seeing a skyline and knowing you helped build it. At Adi Development Group, that’s not a metaphor — it’s your Monday morning. We’re one of Canada’s most innovative real estate developers with over $3 Billion in built value under development across the GTHA, and we’re looking for people who want their work to literally reshape communities. We move fast, we think like owners, and we don’t settle for “the way it’s always been done.”
Our culture is built on candour, curiosity and teamwork. Adians challenge each other’s thinking, experiment fearlessly, and show up for one another — whether you’re in your first week or your fifth year. When we make a decision, we commit and move forward together. One team, one mission: build better, for everyone.
This isn’t a back-office number-crunching role. As an Associate Accountant at Adi, you’ll be immersed in the financial operations of multi-million dollar development projects — supporting our accounting team and partnering with Construction PMs, Sales & Marketing, and senior leadership to keep every dollar on track from groundbreaking to closing day.
Support monthly project draws and budget variance analysis — you’ll gain hands-on exposure to real-time decisions on construction projects
Prepare, review, and maintain payment draw schedules in accordance with internal processes
Complete GL reconciliations, bank reconciliations, and project financial reports accurately and on time
Work with budget owners to refine cash flow forecasts, monitor project risks, and flag potential issues early
Review invoices processed by Accounts Payable for coding accuracy, budget alignment, and required approvals
Maintain project budgets in Sage and support accurate data flow between Sage and Procore
Partner with Construction Project Managers to review coding accuracy, identify budget variances early, and learn the operational side of development accounting from the ground up
Assist the Controller, Sales & Marketing, and external counsel with closing site records and unit closing statements
Prepare and file HST returns and T5018s accurately and on time
Support process improvements and take on additional responsibilities as needed
1–2 years of accounting experience, ideally in construction or real estate development — or a recent graduate who’s eager to build a career in project accounting
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business Administration or a closely related field
CPA designation in progress — you’re on the path and committed to the profession
Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, formulas, and working with large data sets
Solid understanding of accounting principles and strong attention to detail
Hands-on experience with accounting software (Sage experience is a plus)
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage deadlines
A proactive mindset with a willingness to learn, ask questions, and solve problems
High integrity, confidentiality and professionalism in everything you do
Genuine curiosity and a drive for continuous improvement and process optimization
