Original job description
Our client, a growing technology company that recently went public, is hiring a Senior Accountant to join its finance team in Toronto. The role combines oversight of the month-end close, financial reporting, and exposure to FP&A. You’ll help strengthen the company’s accounting and reporting processes as it scales, while taking an active role in training and developing junior team members.
What you’ll do:
- Oversee key areas of the month-end close across multiple entities, reviewing journal entries, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations, resolving accounting issues, and keeping deliverables on schedule.
- Prepare financial statements, reporting schedules and monthly management reporting packages, and support public-company reporting and external audit requirements.
- Support FP&A with budgeting, forecasting and actuals-to-budget analysis. Investigate variances and work with finance and business partners to explain what drove them.
- Identify and implement improvements to close and reporting workflows, standardize templates and documentation, and look for opportunities to automate recurring manual work.
- Train and coach junior team members on accounting procedures and close deliverables. Review their work and provide feedback to improve accuracy and consistency.
What you’ll bring:
- CPA designation and audit or assurance experience with a Big Four accounting firm.
- Strong technical accounting and financial reporting skills, with the ability to investigate issues and explain findings clearly.
- Experience reviewing work and coaching junior team members, whether on audit engagements or in an industry role.
- Strong Excel skills and an interest in improving how accounting and reporting work gets done.
- Industry experience is an asset, particularly exposure to month-end close, management reporting or budgeting and forecasting.
What's in it for you:
- Competitive compensation and time off.
- Hybrid work flexibility.
- Ability to be part of an exciting phase of growth and business transformation.
