Who We Are 🇨🇦
Tetra Digital Group is Canada’s leading institutional digital asset infrastructure provider.
As Canada’s first and only regulated digital asset custodian, we’ve built the institutional foundation the market demands. We’re backed by Urbana Corporation, National Bank, ATB Financial, Wealthsimple, Purpose Unlimited, Shakepay, Shopify, and Coinbase Ventures - some of the most consequential names in Canadian finance and fintech.
We operate two interconnected businesses: Tetra Trust, our regulated custody arm, and CADD Digital, Canada’s first Canadian dollar-backed stablecoin issued by a regulated financial institution. It’s live on Base, Ethereum, and Tempo, with Solana next. CoinDesk and BNN Bloomberg covered it as the arrival of Canada’s first regulated digital dollar. 🚀
Here’s the problem we’re solving: Canada clears roughly $424 billion every business day, and much of the retail payment infrastructure underneath it was designed in the 1980s. Batch windows. Cut-off times. Weekends off. We’re building rails that settle continuously, programmatically, and under regulatory oversight.
We’re a team of ~30 people. We punch well above our size, and so does the opportunity ahead.
The Role 📊
You make sure every number Tetra reports is right, reconciled, and ready for an auditor or a regulator.
This is the technical backbone of Tetra’s finance function, and it’s genuinely hands-on. You’ll own the monthly close, consolidation, and audit- and regulator-facing reporting across Tetra’s entities, including the tax-basis reporting behind our trust company. You’ll be the Head of Finance’s right hand on attestations, controls, and continuous improvement as the business scales.
You’ll be building repeatable processes for a business model that’s being defined in real time, so the reporting is embedded in how we operate rather than bolted on afterwards.
You’ll report to our Head of Finance and partner closely with operations, treasury, compliance, engineering, and our external auditors.
What You’ll Own 🎯
- Month-end close. Lead and execute the close: journal entries, accruals, cost centre reporting, and the complex adjustments, including digital-asset revaluations, FX, and share-based compensation. Make it faster and cleaner every quarter.
- Consolidation and financial statements under IFRS. Own consolidation across Tetra’s entities: mappings, intercompany eliminations, the statement of cash flows, and the statement of changes in equity. Produce entity and consolidated financial statements with variance analysis that explains what moved and why.
- Intercompany. Own intercompany posting rules, and review monthly intercompany splits and reconciliations so they match our intercompany agreements and transfer pricing.
- Trust and tax-basis reporting. Prepare and own the monthly Net Trust Income (tax-basis) working paper, including Trustee Fee mechanics and s.104 considerations.
- Reconciliations and cash. Run bank, custody, and wallet reconciliations, and deliver daily and weekly cash position reporting with Treasury across CAD, USD, and digital assets. Reconcile CADD in circulation against the reserves behind it, because every unit outstanding has to be backed by something real. 💵
- Audit and attestations. Build auditor-ready working papers and sign-offs. Respond to audit queries, manage remediation plans, and drive findings to closure. Support reserve attestations and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II evidence requests.
- Regulatory and tax filings. Prepare regulator-facing reporting and support inquiries from Alberta Treasury Board and Finance (ATBF) and other regulators. Support GST/HST (and QST where applicable) and statutory filings.
- Technical accounting. Apply IFRS judgment to complex and novel transactions. Research the issue, then document the recommended treatment and disclosure in a clear memo.
- Controls and policies. 🔐 Operate and maintain the finance policies, procedures, reconciliations, and controls the Head of Finance designs, including segregation of duties and maker-checker on payments and wallet movements. Act as first-level technical reviewer.
- Planning and analysis. 📈 Track and report KPIs, highlighting trends and month-over-month changes. Support the monthly forecast, the annual budget, and ad-hoc analysis for senior leadership.
- Finance systems, automated. 🤖 Find and deliver process and automation improvements that cut manual effort. Help move us from QuickBooks to an ERP and crypto sub-ledger we won’t outgrow, with automated reconciliations and AI-enabled reporting.
- Knowledge that scales. Own SOPs, templates, and knowledge transfer so the close doesn’t depend on any one person, including you.
What We’re Looking For 🔍
- 5+ years of progressive accounting or financial reporting experience, including time in external audit at a public accounting firm.
- A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or business administration, and a CPA or equivalent professional designation.
- Consolidation ownership. Hands-on experience owning a multi-entity close: mappings, eliminations, the statement of cash flows, and the statement of changes in equity.
- Strong IFRS. The judgment to apply it to new transactions, and the writing to document your conclusion so an auditor agrees with it.
- Tax-basis translation. The ability to interpret IFRS and s.104 of the Income Tax Act and turn them into clear, repeatable processes.
- Audit readiness. You’ve prepared working papers that held up to an external audit, and you know what auditors look for because you’ve been one.
- Systems and automation. Advanced Excel or Google Sheets, working knowledge of QuickBooks, ERP experience (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar), and comfort using automation and AI tools to cut manual work.
- Strong communication. You write clear policies, procedures, memos, and management reports, and you can explain a technical treatment to someone outside finance.
- Organization under pressure. High attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to manage several deadlines at once without dropping one.
- Comfort with ambiguity. You work independently in a fast-moving, evolving regulatory environment while staying closely aligned with the Head of Finance.
Digital asset experience is a plus, but it isn’t a prerequisite. If you’ve owned the close at a bank, trust company, asset manager, fund administrator, payments company, or regulated fintech, and you’re curious about how custody and stablecoins work, we welcome your application.

A Note on Fit 🧭
Tetra moves fast and the expectations are high. If you need a fully defined process before you get started, this isn’t the right fit. If you take ownership, stay curious, and do great work when the path isn’t perfectly clear, this role was built for you.
If you’re coming from audit or advisory and you’re ready to stop reviewing other people’s numbers and start owning your own, this is that opportunity. No hand-off. No waiting for a client to act on your findings. Just the work and the results.
If that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, we’d love to hear from you. 🤝
