About The Position

We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the full accounting function and monthly close in a fast-growing e-commerce business. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a lean environment, understands high-volume transaction flows, and can build scalable, automated processes across accounting, tax, and systems. You’ll work directly with the CFO and play a key role in preparing the company for increased transaction complexity, including global payment flows, multi-currency settlements, indirect tax compliance, and evolving revenue recognition requirements as the business scales.

Strong ownership of month-end close and accrual accounting.
Experience in e-commerce, SaaS, digital commerce, marketplaces, subscription businesses, or other high-volume transaction environments.
Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Stripe (or similar platforms).
Familiarity with sales tax and/or VAT (implementation experience a plus).

Comfort operating independently and remotely in accounting.
Experience reconciling payment processor activity, settlement reports, refunds, disputes, reserves, and chargebacks.
Understanding of revenue recognition and accounting for complex transaction flows.
Familiarity with multi-currency transactions and indirect tax requirements (sales tax, VAT, GST).
