Job description

Clio is the global leader in legal AI technology, empowering legal professionals and law firms of every size to work smarter, faster, and more securely.

We are transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.

Summary:

We are currently seeking a Junior Accountant to join our Finance team in Vancouver.

What your team does:

Clio's Finance team covers financial reporting, financial operations, corporate finance, treasury, and tax, with each function represented across our regional centres of excellence. It's a good place to build a career early: the team has grown fast, the work spans a multi-entity environment with acquisitions and new product launches, and you'll get exposure well beyond the close. Managers hold weekly one-on-ones and give feedback as they go, and the team is actively using AI to make the work better.

Who you are:

We are looking for someone who is early in their accounting career and genuinely enjoys the details, from a clean bank reconciliation to ensuring GL balances remain intact. You take pride in accurate, well-documented work and you follow through on the small things that keep the books reliable. You are eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and excited to grow your skills alongside a collaborative Finance team.

What you’ll work on:

• Perform weekly bank reconciliations working with cross functional teams such as Payroll, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable to ensure accuracy and completeness of all bank transactions incurred;
• Propose journal entries in the accounting system Netsuite, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance with accounting standards;
• Maintain and reconcile general ledger accounts during month end close;
• Perform variance analysis on balance sheet accounts to identify business drivers impacting financial performance;
• Act as liaison to the Accounts Payable team by sharing knowledge, providing training, collaborating to resolve issues, and promoting best practices to enhance efficiency and accuracy within the team;
• Manage electronic accounting documents, which includes: invoices, receipt documentation, and other ad-hoc corporate documents;
• Perform semi-monthly credit card reconciliations, by working with stakeholders across the Company to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and proper documentation of all charges incurred;
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and introduce automation to gain efficiencies and provide recommendations on potential time saving opportunities;
• Demonstrate a proficient understanding of accounting standards and ensure proper implementation in routine tasks to maintain compliance and accuracy in financial reporting;
• Support other Finance team members with the month-end close and other ad-hoc projects;
• Assist with external audits and support SOX compliance; and,
• Other duties as required.

What you may have:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field; 1-3 years of accounting experience, ideally with exposure to bank reconciliations and credit card coding;
• Solid understanding of basic accounting principles, including general ledger coding and the month-end close process;
• Strong attention to detail, with a track record of accurate, well-documented work in a high-volume environment;
• Comfortable with Excel and AI tools, and quick to adapt to new financial technologies;
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to coordinate approvals and resolve discrepancies with stakeholders across the business;
• An error-checking mindset, with demonstrated ability to self-review by tracing discrepancies and leaving audit trails for SOX compliance;
• Prior experience at a SaaS or high-growth company is a bonus.

This role is a backfill for an existing position.

What you will find here:

Compensation is one of the main components of Clio's Total Rewards Program. We have developed a series of programs and processes to ensure we are creating fair and competitive pay practices that form the foundation of our human and high-performing culture.
