- Assisting the preparation of regulatory reports (OSFI P&C1, Statistics Canada surveys)
- Creating meaningful ad hoc reports and analysis utilizing the appropriate source data.
- Appropriately prioritizing work to respond to the needs of customers.
- Communicating any potential risks or opportunities to finance customers or the Financial Reporting team.

What you bring:

- Must be a full-time student in a Co-Op program related to business, finance, or related program
- Working towards a CPA accounting designation would be preferred.
- Insurance industry experience would be beneficial but is not required.
- High level of proficiency with Excel.
- Knowledge of VBA would be an asset
- Goal oriented and highly motivated.
- Strong work ethic and commitment to operational excellence.
- Excellent attention to detail and analytical skills.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to interact with all levels of the organization.
