About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join our team for a remote role based in Canada.

• Detail-Oriented & Accountable: You take immense pride in the accuracy of your work. You don't just "roll forward" spreadsheets; you understand the underlying business logic and proactively flag anomalies.
