5. Collaborate with the strategic finance team to support external reporting.
6. Maintain the internal accounting policies and processes for adherence to applicable accounting standards with a focus on accuracy and efficiency.
7. Assist with FundThrough's compliance reporting in the USA and Canada.
8. Work with the controller, co-founders, & strategic finance on ad hoc projects as needed.

Our ideal fit :

• Passion for our mission of empowering small businesses to thrive.
• A candidate who is looking to take the next step in their career by growing their responsibilities and helping take the finance team to the next level.
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working in a team and fostering a positive work environment.
• Drives process improvements and utilizes automation.
• Curious, not afraid to ask questions, and a problem-solver.
• An exceptional communicator with strong integrity.
• Likes to take initiative and has a ‘can-do’ attitude.
• Works well under pressure to meet deadlines.
• 2+ years experience managing teams (2-5 people).
• 4+ years of experience in an accounting position.
• CPA designation (or wrote Fall 2024 CFE).
• Intermediate to advanced Google Sheet + Excel skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Familiarity with databases and queries (using SQL) and Periscope.
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics GP or other ERP systems is an asset.
• Highly organized and reliable, with an eye for detail.
• Opportunity to leave your mark on a growing startup.
• An incredibly diverse team of brilliant minds from all over the world.
• Competitive compensation, including stock options.
• Health benefits.

We understand that Covid has shifted the way we work. Our Downtown Toronto office is open and we encourage FundThrough’ers based within the GTA to use it. Preference for this role is for it to be hybrid within the GTA, but we are also open to considering fully remote candidates based on experience.

Please note that due to the sensitive nature of the work we do, clearing a criminal record check is a condition of employment.

FundThrough encourages applications from candidates with differing abilities. Please let us know if you require accommodation at any stage in the selection process.
