Job description

Money Maestro: With a seasoned background in accounting, you understand cash-flow projections the way Neo understood the Matrix. You know your way around profit and loss statements the way Lady Gaga knows her way around a melody. You’ve got a razor-sharp eye for spotting financial inaccuracies, and a passion for producing the most insightful financial statements possible.

AND you love a fun, collaborative workplace where you get the chance to help millions of people live their healthiest, happiest lives. If that sounds like you, let's talk!

AlgaeCal is looking for a Vancouver-based Senior Accountant who can hit the ground running as a valued part of our finance team.

Small print here ⇒ We’re looking for an experienced senior accountant, so if you’re at the beginning of your career, this isn’t the opportunity for you.

But if it does sound like you…

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea: A world without fear of fracture and bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence and the ability to live the life they love.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only natural solution that is clinically-supported to increase bone density. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If you’re at a place in your career where you’re excited by the chance for your work to have meaning and help make a difference, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• A proven ability to excel at day-to-day accounting functions, and you’ve got a reputation for always sweating the details.
• 5+ years of accounting experience in an eCommerce environment in an accounting/finance role. You’re also comfortable with budgeting and forecasting.
• The chops to quickly assume responsibility for our day-to-day accounting needs.
• The ability to lead by example. Whether you're reviewing reconciliations, answering questions, or coaching junior team members through month-end, you're patient, supportive, and genuinely enjoy helping others become better accountants.
• Experience at preparing CRA/IRS/VAT cross-border direct and indirect tax filings and working papers. You should also have experience with multi-entity consolidation.
• A degree in accounting with your CPA designation already under your belt.
• The ability to effortlessly prepare monthly financial statements, reconcile credit cards, monitor expenses, and a million other money-related things. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it - you’ll need a solid knowledge of all things accounting/bookkeeping to succeed in this role.
• A brain the size of a small planet! In this role, you’ll need to think imaginatively and act strategically to help us improve our financial reporting processes.
• The instinct to improve everything you touch. You're not content with "the way we've always done it." You enjoy refining processes, strengthening controls, documenting SOPs, and finding smarter, faster ways of getting the job done.
• A resume that demonstrates your mastery of reporting. Sorry, but if you have to Google what IFRS is; or don’t know what GAAP stands for, this isn’t the position for you.
• A good working knowledge of QuickBooks Online and ERP system.
  

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries, but right now we’re only seeking experienced candidates who will immediately light up this role.

What Will You Earn?

We believe in rewarding top talent. So let’s talk about salary once we’ve had the chance to get to know you better. Rest assured, we’re generous and offer above-market pay for the right person. If you bring the skills and experience, we’ll make sure the compensation reflects that.

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

• A generous healthcare package
• Monthly team events and activities
• Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
• Weekly team lunches
• Casual dress code
• Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
