Our manifesto: Be Thoughtful, Be Simple, Be Brave.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to join our high-performing finance team. Reporting to the CFO and Finance Manager, the Senior Accountant will take ownership of core accounting operations and the month-end close, providing accurate financial reporting, variance analysis, and decision-support insights to management. This role is perfect for a detail-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and experience managing complex, high-volume accounting activities across multiple entities.
What You’ll Do
What You Bring
The ideal candidate brings 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a tech or SaaS environment characterized by low unit pricing, high transaction volume, and large, complex datasets. This role is firmly rooted in accounting, with a strong emphasis on cash management, revenue recognition, reconciliations, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial data across multiple entities and intercompany transactions. The successful candidate is analytically minded and comfortable collaborating on variance analysis, with the ability to assess whether the numbers make sense and to question unusual trends or data flows. Experience in fast-paced, scaling organizations—such as tech startups—is strongly preferred as this role requires depth, structure, and exposure to complex sophisticated systems and processes. Proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets, along with experience using ERP systems is essential and subscription billing platforms would be a huge asset. While a CPA or progress toward a CPA is an asset, a high-performing “rockstar” from a tech environment without a designation may be considered. This individual is hands-on, hard-working, and adaptable—willing to roll up their sleeves, communicate effectively across teams, and take on a broad range of responsibilities to support the business. A strong desire to be in the office for work collaboration and team cohesiveness is expected.
What will make you stand out:
What We Offer
People who care. About customers. About teammates. About doing the right thing even when it’s the harder thing. You don’t need to know every acronym (yet), but you should love learning, solving problems, and keeping cool when tech gets tricky. If you’re kind, curious, reliable, and maybe a little cheeky—you’ll fit right in.
About This Role
This role represents a newly created position
How We Hire
As part of our recruitment process, we have used online, automated systems that include the use of actual intelligence as well as what the government now defines as artificial intelligence, for the last 20 years. All final hiring decisions are made by our team and yes, they are quite human. You should be as well please.
