CarboNet is a Vancouver-based water treatment company with operations in Canada and the US. We're developing creative solutions to critical challenges in industrial wastewater treatment, with our head office, R&D; lab, and production facility in Vancouver, and a second production facility in Texas. We're at an exciting inflection point—past the R&D; phase, scaling our commercial operations, and expanding into multiple new markets.
Our leadership team brings deep technical and business expertise, and we're building a culture where people can make a real impact.
THE ROLE
We're looking for an Accountant to support our month-end close and full-cycle accounting operations. This is a hybrid role with flexibility on in-office days—you'll have autonomy to structure your week around what works best for the team and the business.
This is a training-focused role designed for someone working toward their CPA designation. You'll receive structured mentorship and hands-on guidance as you build competency across our financial operations. As a small, growing company, you'll get genuine exposure to all aspects of our accounting: GL management, reconciliations, accruals, reporting, and board-level support. You'll work closely with our leadership team to support fundraising and strategic planning.
