Job description

We’re on a mission to give every company the finance and accounting capabilities of an “at scale” operation. As a remote-first firm, we combine deep expertise with tech-forward processes to support a range of innovative companies in SaaS, services, and D2C across North America.

About the Role

We’re looking for a meticulous, proactive Senior Accountant with experience in the consumer goods space who’s excited about where accounting is headed. In this role, you'll support multiple early-stage companies by leading month-end close, mentoring junior team members, and improving accounting processes—all while working with a team that’s exploring how AI and automation can unlock better insights, faster workflows, and more strategic finance.

If you’re energized by clean books and future-forward tools, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

  • Own month-end close and prepare GAAP financial statements
  • Build and maintain working papers and variance analyses
  • Oversee payroll and compliance filings (GST/HST/PST)
  • Post journal entries, process AR/AP, and handle ad-hoc accounting tasks
  • Coach and mentor Jr Accountants to uphold quality and timeliness
  • Get hands-on when needed (especially for lean client accounts)
  • Manage multiple stakeholders across diverse industries, balancing expectations and delivering high-quality outputs
  • Bring an operational mindset to accounting—identify opportunities to streamline, automate, or add value for clients and for TheFinanceStack
  • Continuously learn by solving a wide range of accounting challenges across industries, contributing to your growth as a strategic finance partner
  • Prepare board and management reporting, translating financials into clear narratives, variance (flux) analysis, and actionable KPI insights
  • Build and maintain cash flow models and forecasts, providing visibility into runway, liquidity, and strategic decision-making

What You Bring

  • CPA designation (or actively working toward one)
  • Strong grasp of full-cycle accounting and working papers
  • Experience running payroll (Rippling, Payworks, Wagepoint, etc.)
  • Proficiency with Excel (pivot tables, XLOOKUP, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Canadian tax compliance (US knowledge a plus)
  • Experience with cloud-based accounting tools (Xero & QBO)
  • A curiosity for emerging tech in finance—including automation, AI tools, and how they can improve accuracy and speed

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Flexible, remote-first work culture
  • Tech-forward environment exploring automation and AI in finance
  • Autonomy with support when you need it
  • High-impact role with room to grow into Controller and beyond
  • Collaborative, respectful, and process-driven team
