Full time Senior Manager, Accounting & Finance Operations For over 10 years we've partnered with Canada's largest banks to help 1000+ corporate clients simplify and scale their mass payouts to drive business outcomes.
We offer a casual work environment, competitive salaries, excellent health and dental benefits and more. We also offer opportunities and support for ongoing learning, growth, and career development. This is a remote position.
Berkeley Payment
Solutions is a payments technology company with cross-border USD/CAD operations, currently transforming its finance function, modernizing systems, rebuilding reporting infrastructure, and professionalizing processes that have historically been highly person-dependent. We are hiring a #2 for the Finance team to own day-to-day accounting operations and month-end close, freeing the VP Finance to focus on transformation: ERP selection and implementation, banking strategy, and AI-driven process redesign. This is a hybrid role, part traditional accounting leader, part transformation partner.
In the first 6–12 months, the focus is mastering the operational engine: close, audit, team leadership, and the details of how Berkeley's accounting actually works today. As that foundation solidifies, this person is expected to bring their own ideas to the table, improving the processes they now know better than anyone else, including the VP Finance — and to be a full partner in the ERP and AI transformation already underway.
Accounting
Operations & Close (Day One) Own day-to-day accounting operations across the full cycle (AP, AR, GL, reconciliations) Serve as audit lead, managing the relationship and process with Berkeley's existing external auditors Manage, coach, and develop a team of 4 accounting staff Ensure the integrity of the QuickBooks Online (QBO) environment during the transition period,
and support migration to a new ERP platform Finance Transformation (Phase 2, Growing Over Time) Partner directly with the VP Finance on finance transformation initiatives, acting as the “doer” on projects while contributing original ideas as ramp-up progresses Play an active role in the ERP RFP, vendor evaluation, and implementation Contribute to Berkeley's AI-forward finance initiatives, including evaluating and adopting AI tools (e.g., Claude Enterprise) to modernize accounting workflows Once ramped, identify and lead process improvements within accounting operations, you will know the day-to-day better than anyone, including the VP Finance enough exposure to be credible leading a team “in the weeds” on payments-specific accounting led a 1–2 person team), big-bank, large-team, long-tenure backgrounds are not the fit we're looking for A track record of process improvement — concrete examples of identifying inefficiencies and fixing them, not just executing existing process Audit fundamentals strong enough to lead the audit relationship independently Modern accounting platform experience beyond QBO, NetSuite or Sage preferred;
experience with Campfire or Rillet is a bonus Demonstrated AI fluency — real usage of AI tools in an accounting/finance context (e.g., Berkeley is AI-forward: every employee has a Claude Enterprise account and is expected to use it Multi-currency / FX comfort — USD/CAD operations touch revaluation and reconciliation regularly Exposure to Budgeting & FP&A; – while this is an accounting role to begin with, the opportunity is there to own FP&A; as well Meticulous — accounting rigor and attention to detail are non-negotiable A robust communicator — comfortable presenting to and interacting with senior leadership, including the CEO and co-founder A genuine build chance, you will help shape the finance function's systems, processes, and team from a relatively early stage Equity options
