About CarboNet

CarboNet is a Vancouver-based water treatment company with operations in Canada and the US. We're developing innovative solutions to critical challenges in industrial wastewater treatment, with our head office, R&D lab, and production facility in Vancouver, and a second production facility in Texas. We're at an exciting inflection point - past the R&D phase, scaling our commercial operations, and expanding into multiple new markets. Our leadership team brings deep technical and business expertise, and we're building a culture where people can make a real impact.

About The Role

We're looking for a Senior Accountant to own our month-end close and full-cycle accounting operations. This is a hybrid role with flexibility on in-office days - you'll have autonomy to structure your week around what works best for the team and the business.

As a small, growing company, you'll get genuine exposure to all aspects of our financial operations: GL management, reconciliations, accruals, reporting, and board-level support. You'll work closely with our leadership team to support fundraising and strategic planning.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close process and financial statement preparation
• Manage general ledger, account reconciliations, and accrual entries
• Process payroll and coordinate with HR on compensation matters
• Assist in the preparation of management, investor, and board reporting
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable processes
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning for growth
• Build and document accounting procedures as we scale
• Collaborate with external auditors and advisors

What We're Looking For

• Strong technical accounting skills with month-end close experience
• CPA designation or working toward it
• Ability to work independently and take initiative in a lean environment
• Comfort with ambiguity and willingness to wear multiple hats
• Interest in scaling with the company (this role has real growth potential)
