• Optimize the accounting operations workflow to improve accuracy, speed, and scalability.
• Assist the CFO in evaluating and improving financial systems and fintech tools (e.g., QBO, Chargebee, Expensify) to support automation and insight generation.

Team & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Mentor and support junior team members to elevate capability and performance.
• Contribute to building out a future finance team as the company scales.
• Educate non-finance teams on budgeting, spend controls, compliance expectations, and financial processes.
• Serve as a key finance partner for cross-functional stakeholders across the business.

• 3+ years of hands-on payroll experience; cross-border payroll exposure (North America + offshore contractors) is an asset.
• Strong accounting operations experience, including AR, AP, month-end reconciliations, and reporting.
• Solid understanding of Canadian GAAP and experience supporting annual audits; prior audit experience with Big 4 is preferred.
• Experience with accounting and financial tools such as QBO, Chargebee, and Expensify (admin/super-user experience is an asset).
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to excel in a fast-paced, ambiguous, scaling environment.
• Growth mindset, accountability, strong collaboration skills, and a customer-focused approach.

Why Join Us
