Opportunity

Are you a soon-to-be or a new graduate and looking to gain relevant practical accounting experience towards your Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation? – This could be your next career adventure.

AIMCo’s CPA Rotational Program presents you the opportunity to gain meaningful experience across AIMCo’s core accounting departments while working towards your CPA designation. You will have the opportunity to work in three to four of AIMCo's core accounting departments - Real Estate Financial Operations, Corporate & Investment Finance, Investment Valuations teams, and Internal Audit. Your exposure to different areas of the business will help you develop a diverse skillset, inform your career trajectory and provide a fresh perspective for our teams as we are always looking for more efficient ways to collaborate.

This 30-month rotational accounting program will start in May 2026. You will learn to provide meaningful analytics, perform accounting related activities for internal management, clients, or investment teams and deliver financial reporting to enable AIMCo teams to make informed decisions. As you complete your CPA Professional Education Program and pursue your CPA designation, you and your managers will focus on building competencies in key development areas and will receive support and assistance from co-workers as you work towards common goals.

Note: This is a Fixed-Term role starting in May 2026.

Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will vary as you proceed through your rotations. You will learn the day-to-day operations of each group, learn and complete scheduled reports, and gain experience using MS Excel, Structured Query Language (SQL), PowerBI, and SimCorp Dimensions (SCD). You will learn to ensure Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are being adhered to across the organization. You will learn how we apply another basis of accounting for our clients who report using different accounting frameworks.

As your depth of knowledge grows, you will work on more ad hoc requests and be expected to identify efficiencies and implement process changes with the support of your team members. As you develop trust and exhibit a high attention to detail, your responsibilities may increase throughout each rotation stream.
