Qualifications

• Clear, confident written and spoken English, with the ability to explain the numbers to non-finance colleagues and lead conversations with Operations independently.
• Able to work consistently within 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle accounting in NetSuite: accounts payable, accounts receivable, journal entries, accruals, prepaids and reconciliations.
• Lead the monthly, quarterly and year-end close against defined calendar and prepare draft financial statements under ASPE.
• Reconcile bank, credit card, AP, AR, inventory and clearing accounts monthly, and investigate and resolve variances.
• Maintain fixed asset and dispenser amortization schedules, and run month-end FX revaluation of USD balances.
• Own the close checklist, reconciliation standards and chart of accounts hygiene so the close gets faster and cleaner over time.
• Process and code vendor invoices in CAD and USD (contract manufacturers, 3PL warehouses, freight and customs brokers), matched to purchase orders and receipts.
• Account for inventory across multiple third-party warehouses, including landed cost (duties, freight and brokerage).
• Reconcile NetSuite inventory to 3PL reports and resolve count and valuation discrepancies.
• Manage vendor setup and records, and prepare scheduled payment runs for CFO approval.
• Own the indirect tax calendar: GST/HST, provincial PST and US state sales tax returns prepared, reconciled and filed accurately and on time.
• Maintain resale and exemption certificate records, and monitor US economic nexus thresholds.
• Support government audits and the annual external audit, including PBC lists, lead sheets and supporting schedules.
• Build and maintain recurring reporting: weekly sales and inventory, monthly management reporting and KPI dashboards.
• Build NetSuite saved searches and reports, and extract, clean and reconcile data across NetSuite, Shopify and HubSpot, largely in Google Sheets.
• Partner with Operations to define the data they need, and adjust NetSuite setup and reports to deliver it.
• Analyze margins by customer and product, dispenser economics, freight cost recovery, customer usage and inventory planning.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, cash flow tracking, variance analysis and board reporting packages.
• Act as the day-to-day finance point of contact for Operations and Sales on billing, customer statements, collections, freight and warehouse costs.
• Track AR aging and drive collections follow-up with customers.
• Respond to customer and vendor accounting inquiries quickly and accurately.
• Rethink how transactions are processed and recorded so downstream reporting and analysis are faster and more reliable.
• Identify and implement automation across the accounting workflow.
• Document procedures so the work is repeatable and can scale as the team grows.
