VP, Accounting & Reporting

- Equity Partner -

Location: Remote

Jurisdiction: Canada

Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week

Department: Finance & Compliance

Team: Core Operations – Anime Universe

Reports To: CFO

This is not a job. It's a stake.

It’s a challenge to architect a global financial backbone.

What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This is a founder-level financial and operational command role.

As VP, Accounting & Reporting, you are the steward of financial precision, integrity, and clarity. Every ledger, every statutory disclosure, every consolidation across our global entities—flows through your hands. You don’t just close books. You define the financial architecture that lets our platform scale with speed, trust, and investor-grade transparency.

We require a minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. If that’s not sustainable, we completely understand- but this role isn't the right fit at this time.

We are offering a founding equity partner role, not a traditional salaried position. That means:

No upfront cash compensation

Equity (shares) at founding partner level

Future token-based rewards (Subject to legal approvals, currently hold no assigned financial Value.)

Salary activates with revenue-based milestones

Let’s Be Absolutely Clear

This is not a back-office controller seat in a traditional corp stack.

This is not just a role for producing compliance checklists.

You are the architect of financial truth. The interpreter of complexity. The operational validator of vision.

You define how our books scale, how our teams report, and how our investors trust.

Your work will drive confidence across global markets, product ecosystems, and financial timelines.
