Support the annual consolidated external audit process, and lead the statutory audits for international subsidiaries, acting as the primary liaison for local auditors to ensure timely and compliant filings. Identify potential technical accounting issues and complete high-quality research and analysis to develop and document the Company’s accounting policies. Design end-to-end standard operating and detailed review procedures to ensure extremely high-quality accounting records are prepared and maintained, minimizing risks of material misstatements.

Identify risks of material misstatement in existing processes, including maintaining accounting policies and owning the Risk and Control Matrix (RCM) for operational areas. Lead the detailed analysis of financial results, including the preparation of monthly flux analysis and quarterly analytics for review engagements to explain variances and business trends. Lead project management initiatives for the accounting function, including the implementation of new software for automation and efficiencies, and serve as the finance representative on requirements and compliance for organization-wide product launches.

Manage the preparation and review of global indirect tax filings (Sales Tax, VAT, GST/HST) across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring strict compliance with local laws and timely remittance. Identify and execute on opportunities to drive efficiency, accuracy, and impact across all aspects of the accounting and financial transacting aspects of the Company. Liaise with cross-departmental stakeholders in all projects and matters as they relate to finance, accounting, internal control, or tax.

CPA designation is required, with 5+ years of progressive accounting experience.



A combination of public accounting and industry experience in a high-growth technology environment is ideal. You must be comfortable researching complex accounting topics and writing technical memos.

Proven experience managing the month-end close process for a multi-entity, multi-currency global organization. A passion for leadership with demonstrated experience managing and mentoring a team of accountants.

Experience working in an environment with robust internal controls. Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate accounting impacts to non-finance stakeholders and collaborate effectively across the business. The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing competing priorities while maintaining a high attention to detail.
