About the role

Senior Accountant responsible for end-to-end accounting operations for a US-headquartered fintech with a Canadian entity, including AR/AP, US multi-state sales tax, month-end close across entities, and support for external audits. This is a sole-contributor role reporting to the COO.

Responsibilities

  • Own the monthly billing cycle end to end: recurring SaaS subscriptions, implementation fees, expansion and upsell items, and third-party passthroughs.
  • Interpret signed client contracts to determine correct billing, including minimums, tiered unit pricing, annual escalators, passthrough treatment, and go-live timing.
  • Source billing inputs independently from Salesforce, contract files, and the Sales or Client Success owner who closed the deal.
  • Reconcile third-party vendor invoices against amounts rebilled to clients, and investigate variances before they reach the client.
  • Own AR collections: aging review, client follow-up, and timely escalation of at-risk balances.
  • Prepare invoices for COO review and release.
  • Own AP intake, vendor coding, and entry; maintain written vendor-to-GL coding standards.
  • Prepare payment runs for COO approval and manage vendor relationships, statements, and billing disputes.
  • Keep AP current so that no vendor relationship is disrupted by a missed or late payment.
  • Own the US multi-state sales tax function: nexus monitoring, registrations, and monthly and quarterly filings.
  • Administer Avalara, including the billing system integration, and reconcile taxable sales to filed returns each period as a standing control.
  • Collect and maintain exemption certificates for tax-exempt credit union clients.
  • Manage voluntary disclosure agreements, state notices, and state tax audits.
  • Support Canadian corporate tax filings and US federal and state returns with external advisors.
  • Own the full close cycle across the US parent, its Canadian entity, and its subsidiary.
  • Maintain recurring schedules: deferred revenue and implementation fee amortization, prepaid expenses, referral fee accruals, and sales commission amortization.
  • Allocate payroll and benefits by department across US and Canadian payroll, including CAD translation and RRSP remittance reconciliation.
  • Investigate and explain month-over-month variance by department without being asked, distinguishing real movement from timing artifacts.
  • Produce the monthly KPI package for the board.
  • Serve as primary point of contact for the annual financial statement audit.
  • Prepare PBC schedules and workpapers, respond to auditor requests, and post audit adjustments.
  • Maintain rollforward schedules that tie to the general ledger year over year.
  • Treat audited financial statements as controlled documents and route all external distribution through the COO.
  • Build and maintain written documentation for every recurring process, including the month-end close checklist, vendor coding rules, departmental mapping, and billing logic.
  • Identify recurring error sources and fix them at the root rather than correcting them each month.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to systems and workflows as the business scales.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a month-end close (must have).
  • Hands-on US multi-state sales tax experience: nexus determination, state registrations, filings, exemption certificate management, and voluntary disclosure agreements (must have).
  • Working knowledge of Avalara or a comparable sales tax engine, including its integration with a billing system (must have).
  • US GAAP revenue recognition under ASC 606 applied to multi-element SaaS contracts, specifically implementation fee deferral and principal-versus-agent analysis for passthrough revenue (must have).
  • Experience in a multi-entity environment with cross-border operations and foreign currency translation.
  • Experience owning or substantially supporting an external financial statement audit.
  • Proficiency with QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, and a billing platform; Zoho and Salesforce a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to work without supervision: comfortable pulling data from a CRM, reading a signed contract, and going directly to the deal owner for an answer.
  • Evidence of process documentation you wrote and maintained. Candidates should be prepared to share a work sample, such as a close checklist or procedure you authored.
  • CPA (Canada or US) or equivalent practical experience.
  • SaaS or fintech experience strongly preferred; experience serving credit unions or community banks is a plus.
