About Convoy Finance

We like working with people who move fast, think for themselves, and care about doing great work. That’s pretty much how we run Convoy.

We’re a small finance and accounting firm working with technology, SaaS, fintech and Web3 companies across Canada and internationally. We work directly with founders and senior finance teams, helping them with accounting, tax, finance operations and CFO advisory.

Our team is small, which means there isn’t much bureaucracy. You get real ownership, direct access to senior people and the chance to actually make things happen.

Most of the team is based in Toronto, so you’ll be working closely with the people around you while also getting exposure to clients and colleagues in different markets.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to be more than just the person behind the books.

You’ll take ownership of accounting and finance work across a portfolio of growing companies. That means getting into the details when you need to, but also understanding the bigger picture and what your clients actually need.

You’ll work directly with founders, senior finance professionals and international clients, helping them keep their finances moving and solving problems as they come up.

One client might need help getting their month-end close under control. Another might have a reporting issue, a tax question or something that doesn’t quite make sense in the books. You’ll need to be comfortable figuring things out, asking questions and getting to the answer.

This is a hands‑on role in a fast‑moving firm. You’ll have support from experienced finance professionals, but we expect you to take ownership of your work and keep things moving without waiting to be told what to do.

What You’ll Do

You’ll take ownership of:

• Full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of technology and startup clients
• Preparing and reviewing financial statements and management reporting
• Reconciliations and month‑end and year‑end close
• Supporting corporate and personal tax preparation and planning
• Supporting audit, review and compilation engagements
• Working directly with clients to answer questions and resolve accounting issues
• Keeping client deliverables moving and communicating when something needs attention
• Looking for ways to improve processes and build better, more scalable ways of working
• Supporting junior team members and working closely with our senior finance team

What We’re Looking For

You have a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field and 4+ years of relevant accounting experience, including strong full‑cycle accounting experience.

You’re comfortable with financial reporting, reconciliations and month‑end close, and you know how to manage several clients and deadlines without losing track of the details.

You’re also comfortable working directly with clients. Strong English communication skills are important, because you’ll be explaining financial information, asking questions and working through problems with people at different levels of an organization.

Most importantly, you’re someone who takes ownership. If something doesn’t look right, you investigate it. If you see a problem, you don’t just point it out. You help solve it. And if there’s a better way of doing something, we want you to say it.

Experience with public accounting, audit, tax, Taxprep, CaseWare, QuickBooks Online or Xero is a plus.

Experience working with technology, SaaS, fintech, Web3 or digital assets is also a plus.

A CPA designation is preferred.

Why Convoy?

You’ll work with interesting companies, smart people and problems that don’t always come with an instruction manual.

You’ll have direct exposure to founders and senior finance leaders and get to see how growing companies actually operate. Because we’re a small team, your work is visible and your contribution matters.

You’ll be based in Toronto alongside most of the team, but our clients and colleagues aren’t all in one place. You’ll get exposure to different businesses, industries and markets, without being stuck doing the same thing every day.

We also make time for team lunches, happy hours and, when the numbers are good, the occasional team trip.

It’s fast‑paced. It’s challenging. And it’s definitely not boring.

If you want to keep learning, take real ownership and grow beyond traditional accounting, we’d like to hear from you.

Compensation

CAD 70,000–90,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
