About The Position

As a Senior Accountant, you will be a key partner on our accounting team, helping keep our financial operations accurate and running smoothly as the company grows. You’ll take ownership of a handful of important areas — including sales/use tax, 1099s, stock-based compensation, and reconciliations — while working closely with the team on month-end close, the financial integration of newly acquired companies, and the year-end audit. We’re looking for someone who can run their areas independently and is happy to roll up their sleeves wherever the team needs a hand. Our ideal candidate is detail-oriented, self-directed, an excellent communicator, and genuinely excited about using modern tools — including AI — to work smarter. If you thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment and want to help build the finance function of a mission-driven, well-funded company, please read on! We welcome qualified candidates located anywhere in Canada #LI-Remote.
