ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for someone to join us as a Finance & Accounting Manager/Lead. In this role you'll ensure that we can make business decisions off of timely, accurate and effective financial data. This means ensuring we are collecting the right data, we are booking that data accurately, reporting it effectively, and staying on top of our compliance obligations so that they do not slow us down. This is a full-time, remote-first role in Canada, the UK or the EU. THINGS YOU'LL WORK ON - Accounting Ownership: you'll ensure that our team is able to close the month within 3 business days. This means booking revenue/expenses from various systems, applying inter-company transfer pricing, making accruals where needed, performing journal entries, etc. We close the books on 15 entities globally. - Financial Reporting: you'll prepare individual reporting for distinct legal entities, as well as a consolidated view for operating groups and the group as a whole. This will include Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Cashflow Statements and other management reporting. - Tax Coordination: we conduct business throughout Canada, the USA and the EU. You'll support with sales tax/VAT calculations, reporting and filing. You'll coordinate with our external tax partners to run year-end prep, corporate filings and tax optimization projects. - Automation & Scaleable Systems: you'll embrace technology, modern tooling and AI to automate and augment as much as you can. We don't want to replace people, but we do want to replace monotonous, manual, repetitive work. ATTITUDES We don't care what your current job title is, how long you've been working, or whether you have a CPA. We do care about you being tightly aligned with our operating principles: - You’re competitive and love to win. You’re competitive and are always looking for an edge. You have a high bar (some would say “unrealistic”) for yourself and those you work with. - You do whatever it takes. You’re willing to do what others won’t to achieve what others can’t. What we’re doing is hard. Really hard. Sacrifices are required in the pursuit of greatness, and we’re chasing greatness. - Founder-level ownership. If something breaks, you fix it. If there’s an opportunity, you chase it. You (and we) never say "that's not my job". - Curiosity with teeth. You don’t just ask why something isn’t working — you dig until you know, then you ship a fix. - You ask for forgiveness, not permission. - You’re a self-starter. You love being in the weeds and rolling up your sleeves to get things done. You never let roadblocks get in the way of getting things done; the laws of physics alone dictate what you can do. - You have excellent analytical skills. The term ‘quantitative rigour’ gets you excited. You love using data to help identify problems, discover opportunities, and substantiate your ideas. WHO THIS ROLE IS RIGHT FOR - Someone who has a foundation in finance & accounting and is ready to take their next step and go both broader + deeper in their work - Someone who enjoys building automations and systems, and likes to work on unique/complex problems - Someone who wants to not just rebuild a
