You'll prepare timely and accurate journal entries, financial information, and attestations, ensuring compliance with CIBC policies and procedures. Your work will involve collaborating with multiple business areas, acting as both a receiver and provider of financial information, and driving improvements that help shape the future of banking at Simplii.

At CIBC, we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed during your interview.

How you'll succeed
