We're looking for a highly technical and detail-oriented Senior Accountant to join our growing Finance team. This role is ideal for someone with strong financial accounting fundamentals, audit experience, and a continuous improvement mindset who enjoys building scalable, efficient processes in a fast-moving environment.

You'll play a key role in supporting month-end close, financial reporting, payroll, audits, and process optimization across the organization. We're looking for someone who not only understands accounting deeply, but also actively looks for ways to improve how work gets done through automation, systems thinking, and operational efficiency.

An interest in emerging technologies, including AI and workflow automation, is considered a strong asset.

- Design and help strengthen the internal controls framework across accounting processes, with particular attention to segregation of duties and payment fund safeguarding
- Support the year-end audit, SR&ED submission, tax filings, and other regulatory reporting obligations
- Help ensure ASPE/IFRS compliance and assist in keeping accounting policies up to date for all entities
- Proactively flag control gaps and support remediation efforts before they become audit findings
- Support North American payroll operations, including payroll accounting, reconciliations, and compliance considerations

Automation & Process Efficiency

- Support the accounting tech stack; help evaluate and optimize tools (Xero, Plooto, and beyond) to eliminate manual effort and increase accuracy
- Partner with Business Intelligence and Engineering to help automate reconciliations, reporting, and close processes
- Support the FinOps best-practices group, helping govern and optimize variable usage-based costs such as cloud and infrastructure spend

Team Leadership & Stakeholder Management → Stakeholder Support

- Partner with FP&A on internal and investor reporting, ensuring accounting outputs are investor-ready
- Act as a point of contact for external auditors, tax advisors, banking partners, and payment processors as needed

## What You Bring

- 3+ years of accounting experience
- CPA designation or actively pursuing CPA completion
- Strong technical accounting knowledge with a focus on financial accounting and audit support

- Comfort working in evolving, fast-paced environments with shifting priorities
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
