Finance Manager
Location: Remote (Canada)
Base Salary: $100,000–$125,000 CAD + Bonus + Equity
About the Role
This role is built for someone who wants to move faster than a traditional corporate environment allows.
Orion Digital is the finance and asset management arm of a dual-listed Canadian fintech. Our team supports lending, payments, wealth, treasury, and asset management operations, including a registered investment fund entity (IntelligentInvesting Securities Inc.) with its own reporting, reconciliation, and regulatory requirements.
You'll work directly with the Controller and alongside the Director of Finance across fund accounting, public-company reporting, financial instruments, consolidations, operational accounting, and finance transformation initiatives.
This is not a review-only management role. It's a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants meaningful ownership, broad exposure, and a clear path toward Senior Manager and ultimately Assistant Controller responsibilities.
If you're leaving Big 4 and looking for real ownership, or you're in industry and can already see the ceiling above you, this role was built for you.

- Own accounting for a registered investment fund entity within a dual-listed public company
- Work directly with finance leadership in a lean, high-accountability environment

- Financial reporting support for monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles
- Audit schedule preparation and external audit coordination
- AP oversight, vendor payment workflows, and process improvements
- Internal controls, documentation, and accounting process enhancements
- Day-to-day mentorship and development of one direct report

- Came up through Big 4 or a national firm and want operational ownership, not another review cycle
- Have strong technical accounting fundamentals and enjoy solving complex problems
- Are ambitious about your career and motivated by increasing responsibility

- Strong Excel skills and ERP experience (NetSuite preferred)
- Ability to work independently and navigate ambiguity
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Genuine interest in process improvement, automation, and scalable finance operations
What Success Looks Like (12 Months)
- Close processes are reliable, scalable, and well-documented
- Reconciliations are timely, accurate, and consistently completed without rework
- Fund, lending, and operational accounting processes operate efficiently
- Audit and reporting deliverables are completed with minimal oversight
