Job details

We are looking for a SOX Tester for a 5 months contract with high possibility of extension. Role is hybrid with 2 days a week on site in Downtown Montreal. You will work with control owners and finance/business stakeholders to understand processes, perform testing, assess evidence, and document conclusions. We are looking for professionals who are comfortable getting into the detail of a control and determining whether it is actually operating as intended. What You'll Be Doing Perform walkthroughs with control owners to understand processes and key controls. Execute testing of SOX / ICFR controls, including reviewing samples and supporting evidence. Evaluate whether controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively. Document testing procedures, evidence reviewed, results, and conclusions. Investigate exceptions and work with stakeholders to understand root causes. Support the identification and documentation of control deficiencies. Follow up on remediation activities and perform re-testing where required. Maintain organized, audit-ready testing documentation. Communicate testing results and issues clearly to finance, control owners, and internal audit stakeholders. Support broader risk and internal-control assessments as needed. What We're Looking For 3–4+ years of practical SOX, ICFR, internal controls, or controls-testing experience. Experience actually performing control testing, rather than only working in accounting or financial reporting. Good understanding of financial controls, risk, evidence, sampling, walkthroughs, and operating effectiveness. Strong written documentation skills and attention to detail. Comfortable challenging evidence and asking control owners detailed questions. Ability to work independently while managing multiple controls/testing activities. Fluent French and professional English. CPA is an asset, but hands-on SOX/controls experience is more important than the designation. Note: We use AI tools to: obtain basic information, detect plagiarism, false employment history or references, categorize your skills, and do an initial match with job posting.
