Identify opportunities to streamline and automate recurring accounting processes

Qualifications and Experience

CPA designation (or actively pursuing) preferred; equivalent experience considered
4+ years of progressive accounting experience including for nonprofit, charity, or funds
Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks (Desktop or Online) and payroll systems
Solid understanding of Canadian nonprofit accounting standards (ASNPO) and CRA compliance requirements for registered charities
Advanced Excel skills; comfort working with departmental/segmented financial data
High degree of accuracy, organization, and ability to manage work independently
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain financial information to non finance staff and leadership
Working knowledge of AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar) applied to accounting workflows, and a willingness to keep learning new tools to improve efficiency.
Wavefront is a bilingual environment (ASL/English), fluency in American Sign Language (ASL), or willingness to learn, is required for this position

Compensation & Benefits

Salary Range: $65,000 - $80,000. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including extended health and dental coverage, a pension plan, paid time off, professional development support, and a mission-driven environment where your work creates lasting community impact.
