Intermediate Accountant

Onni Group of Companies • Vancouver, BC

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

This role is for an Intermediate Accountant who will help build the accounting "machine" rather than just operate within a pre-defined structure. The position involves working across multiple entities simultaneously, providing exposure to diverse business models and their unique accounting treatments. A key aspect of the role is close proximity to the investment team, with direct involvement in the accounting integration of newly acquired businesses under real deadlines. The role emphasizes automation of tasks, with performance measured by efficiency and accuracy rather than hours spent. Onni Capital operates with high ownership and low bureaucracy, encouraging team members to challenge assumptions, take responsibility, use AI tools, share work early, and move between strategic analysis and hands-on execution. This is ideal for individuals who learn quickly, take initiative, enjoy solving ambiguous problems, and want to contribute to building something from the ground up, rather than those seeking a rigid, narrowly defined role.

Requirements

• Three or more years of full cycle accounting experience, with ownership of a month end close rather than participation in one
• CPA designation, or active enrolment in the CPA program with meaningful progress made
• Strong technical accounting fundamentals, including accruals, revenue recognition, working capital, and the ability to explain why an entry is correct rather than only that it balances
• Experience with multi entity accounting, including intercompany transactions
• Advanced Excel capability, including comfort building and auditing a schedule from scratch
• Hands on experience with QuickBooks or a comparable accounting system, including initial setup or migration
• Demonstrated ability to use modern AI tools to automate and improve accounting work
• Strong attention to detail, and the discipline to reconcile rather than assume
• The confidence to raise something that looks wrong, including when it originated with someone senior
• Comfort working in a small, fast moving team where the process may not exist until you write it
• High personal standards for accuracy, quality, ownership, and follow through
