Most intermediate accounting roles put you inside a machine someone else built, on a narrow slice of the close. Here you are helping build the machine. You will work across multiple entities at once, which is the fastest way to learn how businesses actually differ. Consulting revenue recognised against tracked hours behaves nothing like recurring software revenue, which behaves nothing like a data centre lease. You will see all of it in the same month. You will also sit two steps from the investment team.When Onni Capital acquires a business, the accounting integration is real work with a real deadline, not a theoretical exercise. We expect you to automate the parts of your job that should be automated. Nobody here is measured on hours spent in a spreadsheet. How We Work Onni Capital is being designed as a high ownership, low bureaucracy team. We work in small project groups, test ideas quickly, put early products in front of users, and make decisions based on evidence rather than hierarchy.Team members are expected to: Challenge assumptions and communicate directly. Take responsibility for outcomes, not simply produce recommendations. Use modern AI tools to work faster and produce better results. Share unfinished work early and improve it through feedback. Move comfortably between strategic analysis and hands on execution. Know when to continue investing in an idea and when to stop. Operate effectively without a detailed playbook.This is not a role for someone who wants months of consensus building, a rigid job description, or a narrowly defined set of responsibilities. It is for someone who learns quickly, takes initiative, enjoys solving ambiguous problems, and wants to help build something from the ground up.What You Will DoOwn the month end close across multiple entities, including journal entries, accruals, prepaid amortisation, depreciation schedules, and account reconciliationsMaintain the general ledger and chart of accounts for the operating companies Onni Capital builds, and keep them consistent with the group structurePrepare bank, credit card, and intercompany reconciliations, and investigate and clear reconciling items rather than carrying them forwardProcess accounts payable and accounts receivable, manage payment runs within approval limits, and maintain vendor and customer recordsPrepare monthly working papers and supporting schedules to a standard that stands up to external audit without reworkSupport the quarterly investor reporting cycle and the annual audit, including preparation of items on the auditor request listPrepare and file GST, PST, and other indirect tax returns, and support corporate tax preparation with external advisorsMaintain fixed asset registers, lease schedules, and debt schedulesSupport the billing and revenue recognition process for Panni Consulting, including tracked hours, internal preferred rates, and external market ratesAssist with the setup of accounting systems, banking, expense tools, and approval workflows for recent entities as they are formedPrepare variance analysis and flag anything that looks wrong before it reaches the ControllerUse modern AI and finance tooling to automate reconciliation,
data entry, and reporting tasksDocument processes and operating standards so the close can be run consistently and handed over cleanlyWhat You BringThree or more years of full cycle accounting experience, with ownership of a month end close rather than participation in oneCPA designation, or active enrolment in the CPA program with meaningful progress madeStrong technical accounting fundamentals, including accruals, revenue recognition, working capital, and the ability to explain why an entry is correct rather than only that it balancesExperience with multi entity accounting, including intercompany transactionsAdvanced Excel capability, including comfort building and auditing a schedule from scratchHands on experience with QuickBooks or a comparable accounting system, including initial setup or migrationDemonstrated ability to use modern AI tools to automate and improve accounting workStrong attention to detail, and the discipline to reconcile rather than assumeThe confidence to raise something that looks wrong, including when it originated with someone seniorComfort working in a small, fast moving team where the process may not exist until you write itHigh personal standards for accuracy, quality, ownership, and follow throughNice to HaveExperience in private equity, fund accounting, investment management, or professional servicesExperience in construction, industrial services, real estate, or technologyExperience supporting an external audit as a preparerExperience setting up the accounting function for a newly formed companyExposure to indirect tax across multiple jurisdictionsFamiliarity with tools such as Claude, Linear, Slack, Float, Stripe, or similar platformsWhat Success Looks LikeSuccess in this role is measured by whether the close runs on time without anyone chasing it, and whether the working papers behind it hold up when someone external looks at them.Within the first 90 days:You have taken ownership of the month end close across the entities assigned to you and are running it to a fixed calendarBank, credit card, and intercompany reconciliations are current, with no unexplained items carried forwardAccounts payable and receivable are running cleanly, with payment runs executed within approval limitsYou have identified at least one recurring manual task worth automating and started on itWithin the first year:The close is consistently on time across every entity, with no repeat issues from month to monthWorking papers go to the external auditor and come back without material reworkIndirect tax filings are accurate and on time across every jurisdictionBilling and revenue recognition for Panni Consulting is running correctly,
across internal preferred rates and external market ratesNew entities are set up properly at formation rather than cleaned up six months laterYou catch errors before the Controller does, including errors that originated upstream of youEnough of the routine work is automated that transaction volume can grow without the close taking longerThe Controller can be away for two weeks without the close slippingWhat Makes This Role DifferentYou will work across every business Onni Capital builds rather than one set of books. In a single month, you may be involved in: Closing the books for a software company, a consulting business, and an investment platform. Setting up the general ledger for an entity incorporated three weeks earlier. Reconciling intercompany balances across the group. Preparing audit working papers that go straight to an external auditor. Building an automation that removes a recurring manual task permanently.
