Job description

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to help run the books as we scale. You'll own core pieces of month-end close, keep our AP, AR, and payroll accounting clean, and make sure our multi-entity operations reconcile every period without drama.

This isn't a narrow, one-task role. You'll touch the full close cycle: journal entries, reconciliations, intercompany accounting, and the judgment calls that come with a growing, cross-border business. You'll report to our Senior Accounting Manager and work closely with the broader Finance team. If you want ownership over real accounting work and a say in how we build our processes as we scale, we want to hear from you!

Some of the things you'll do:

• Month-End Close & Reporting
  • Maintain key balance sheet schedules, including prepaid assets and fixed assets, and book the related monthly entries
  • Assist with variance analysis, explaining P&L and balance sheet fluctuations
  • Roll forward and update the monthly financial reporting package (KPIs, headcount, P&L)
• Accounts Payable & Vendor Management
  • Process incoming vendor bills for coding accuracy and route them for approval
  • Review credit card transactions for correct coding, chase down receipts, and flag ineligible spend
  • Onboard new vendors, collect required tax forms, and issue annual tax documents
  • Follow up on overdue invoices and resolve payment disputes
• Payroll Accounting
  • Own payroll accounting for our Canada, US, and international teams, spanning employees and contractors
  • Prepare and reconcile payroll journal entries each pay run, resolving discrepancies before they hit the books
  • Handle country-specific requirements like retirement plan contributions, leave pay, and related government filings
• Process Improvement & Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Identify and fix manual, error-prone processes. If a reconciliation takes three hours and could take thirty minutes, we want you to improve that
  • Partner with FP&A, People Ops, and other departments to keep financial data accurate and on time
  • Support internal and external audits with clean documentation and clear answers

About you

Required:

• 4+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, including direct ownership of month-end close tasks
• Solid US GAAP knowledge, with hands-on experience in account reconciliations and accruals
• Experience with a modern accounting system (Rillet, NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar) and an expense/AP tool (Ramp, Bill.com, or similar)
• Comfort with payroll accounting concepts: gross-to-net, benefits accruals, retirement plan contributions
• Strong Excel/Sheets skills. You should be able to build a reconciliation from scratch, not just fill in a template
• Strong communication skills. You'll work with employees and stakeholders across the business who don't have an accounting background, so you need to explain financial concepts and processes in plain language

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience working across multiple legal entities or currencies
• CPA, CPA-track, or equivalent designation (CPA Canada, ACCA)
• Experience at a high-growth SaaS or subscription business
• Prior audit experience (public accounting background or supporting SOX controls)

Compensation

The annual base salary range for this position in the US is $117,000 - $137,000 USD, and in Canada is $118,000 - $139,000 CAD, plus equity and benefits. This range is designed to align with market rates in areas where we are actively recruiting across the US and Canada.

The range displayed reflects the target for new hire salaries, and within this range, individual pay is determined by your skills and experience, as well as relevant education. Your recruiter can share more and answer questions about the specific salary range during the hiring process.

Salary is just one component of Quo's total compensation package. Your total rewards package will include equity, extensive medical coverage, a monthly lifestyle stipend, and a flexible PTO policy.
