About The Position

Solink is seeking a Technical Accounting Manager to serve as the primary expert on technical accounting research, ensuring accounting policies remain current and assisting with complex transaction accounting. This role focuses on critical judgment calls, including revenue recognition for bundled hardware/software, new accounting pronouncements, and non-routine transactions. The manager will report to the Assistant Controller, acting as an internal technical resource for accounting and finance teams, and a liaison with external auditors. The role offers significant technical work due to Solink's hardware-enabled SaaS model and multi-entity structure under IFRS, involving areas like multi-element revenue arrangements, lease accounting, share-based payments, and financial instruments.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field; CPA or CA required (or in progress).
3-5 years of accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) experience strongly preferred.
Deep working knowledge of IFRS, with particular strength in revenue recognition (IFRS 15) and other judgment-heavy areas.
Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate research and first-draft memo preparation, with rigorous review and professional judgment applied before finalizing any position.
Experience with multi-element or bundled revenue arrangements — hardware/software combined offerings a strong plus.
Strong technical writing skills; ability to produce clear, well-supported accounting memos.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-accounting stakeholders (Sales, Legal, Product).
Must be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada.
Willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.
