About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join our finance team and own the day-to-day financial operations of the company.

The CEO will work closely with you during onboarding and ongoing, providing context on the business and supporting your ramp. This is an opportunity to grow into a senior finance role in a fast-moving tech company, with direct exposure to executive leadership and the full financial picture of the business.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Reporting & Month-End Close

• Own the full month-end close cycle including journal entries, revenue accruals, depreciation, and deferred revenue reconciliation
• Reconcile bank accounts and balance sheet accounts on a monthly basis

Banking & Payments

• Manage weekly payment runs and daily banking activities
• Maintain cash flow forecasting and AR inflow tracking

Tax Compliance

• Prepare and submit monthly and quarterly tax remittances (payroll tax, GST/HST, provincial taxes)
• Monitor CRA correspondence and coordinate with external tax advisors as needed
• Support government grant applications and annual compliance filings (EDC, insurance, SR&ED) alongside the operations team

Year-End & Audit

• Prepare annual audit materials and serve as the day-to-day contact with external auditors

• Administer and maintain financial records in SAP, including GL accounts, cost centres, and vendor/customer setup
• Participate in ERP testing and process improvement initiatives for our Rio platform

• Proven experience managing core accounting functions: AR, AP, GL, and reconciliations
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple monthly deadlines independently
