• Review complex accounting areas including loans, debentures, leases, accruals, and other financial instruments under IFRS.
• Lead technical accounting analysis and prepare or review accounting memos supporting complex transactions and policy decisions.
• Act as the primary liaison with external auditors, coordinating audit timelines, deliverables, and responses to audit requests.
• Ensure financial statements and supporting schedules are complete, accurate, and compliant with IFRS and public company reporting standards.
• Strengthen internal controls and support the evolution of the company’s control framework as the business scales.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to the accounting team while establishing clear accountability across operational accounting processes.
• Oversee treasury governance and ensure appropriate segregation of duties within payment and cash management processes.
• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Treasury, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure accounting outcomes accurately reflect operational activity.
• Support improvements in accounting systems and reporting tools, including continued optimization of NetSuite and financial reporting processes.

• CPA designation with 8+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Big 4 audit experience strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of IFRS, particularly financial instruments and complex accounting transactions.
• Experience operating in a public company or pre-IPO environment preferred.
• Demonstrated experience leading accounting close processes and coordinating external audits.
• Strong leadership capability with the ability to operate effectively in a lean team environment.
• Excellent analytical judgment and problem-solving ability.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex accounting matters to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
