Financial control and reporting systems for robotics deployments

Copperstone Technologies Ltd, is an Edmonton based engineering firm that designs, builds and deploys
its own unique robotic platform. In the past 2 years Copperstone experienced a three-fold growth and
faced several challenges through this high growth period. Copperstone needs to invest in developing new
financial control policies and reporting procedures for better cost awareness and control.

The project will build out the accounting processes and best practices for a rapidly growing company. As
a start-up company, Copperstone created systems and tools that have been outgrown. The MITACS intern
will be a key member in developing the next phase of business growth by developing accounting policies,
improving financial tracking systems and researching and implementing an inventory control system.
