Small print here We’re looking for an experienced senior accountant, so if you’re at the beginning of your career, this isn’t the opportunity for you.
But if it does sound like you…

THIS JOB MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF YOU’VE GOT…

• A proven ability to excel at day-to-day accounting functions, and you’ve got a reputation for always sweating the details.
• 5+ years of accounting experience in an eCommerce environment in an accounting/finance role.
• The chops to quickly assume responsibility for our day-to-day accounting needs.
• Experience at preparing CRA/IRS/VAT tax filings and working papers.
• A degree in accounting and you’re currently pursuing your CPA/CMA designation.
• The ability to effortlessly prepare monthly financial statements, reconcile credit cards, monitor expenses, and a million other money-related things. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it - you’ll need a solid knowledge of all things accounting/bookkeeping to succeed in this role.
• A brain the size of a small planet! In this role, you’ll need to think imaginatively and act strategically to help us improve our financial reporting processes.
• A resume that demonstrates your mastery of reporting. Sorry, but if you have to Google what IFRS is; or don’t know what GAAP stands for, this isn’t the position for you.
• A good working knowledge of QuickBooks
