The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) is seeking one (1) Director, Finance & Accounting. We have one permanent position available to start immediately.
The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) regulates real estate agents and brokerages in the province, protecting the public interest through a safe and informed marketplace. RECO holds real estate agents to professional standards and enhances consumer confidence in the real estate profession. In addition, RECO strives to educate consumers to ensure they understand the benefits of a regulated real estate sector.
RECO is a not-for-profit corporation that is delegated by the provincial government to administer and enforce the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA) and associated regulations. RECO was established in 1997 as a delegated administrative authority (DAA) under the Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act. This was the result of a mutual desire between the government and the real estate industry to enhance professionalism, increase consumer protection and provide an effective and responsive regulatory framework. The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery continues to be responsible for TRESA and associated regulations, as well as general oversight of RECO.
With more than 170 employees, RECO is a small but dynamic work environment where quality work/life balance is valued.

RECO has adopted a ‘hybrid’ environment, which will typically include a minimum attendance in the office of one day per week, with some teams requiring more frequent in-office attendance.
RECO is committed to promoting an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment that includes awareness, education, and engagement-building opportunities for all employees.
