Senior Accountant
Location: Remote (Canada)
Compensation: $85,000 – $95,000 CAD base + performance bonus + equity
About the role
This is a first or second industry move for someone who came up through Big 4 and wants real accounting ownership - not another rotation.
You'll work directly with the Controller and Finance Manager across fund accounting, IFRS reporting, full-cycle close, and external audit for Orion Digital's asset management entity. The scope is broad by design: financial instruments, fund reconciliations, consolidations, treasury-related accounting, and operational finance - all within a dual-listed public company running a lean, high-accountability team.
If you want a steep learning curve, early ownership, and a clear path to Finance Manager - this is the role.
Why this role stands out
- Direct exposure to fund accounting and IFRS reporting in a dual-listed (TSX/NASDAQ) environment
- Hands-on audit experience across both corporate and fund audits - not just prep work
- Work closely with the Controller and Finance Manager, not buried in a large team
- Named growth path: this role is structured to develop into the Finance Manager position
- Contribute to a live finance transformation - NetSuite, automation, AI-assisted workflows
- Broad exposure across financial instruments, treasury, consolidations, and operational finance
What you'll own
Close & reporting
- Journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting working papers for monthly and quarterly close
- IFRS reporting support and preparation of internal and external reporting packages
- Variance analysis, reconciling item investigation, and discrepancy resolution
- Consolidation support across multiple entities and investment structures
- Accounting across accruals, investments, loans, leases, and treasury-related activities
Fund accounting & audit
- Fund accounting reconciliations and reporting processes for IntelligentInvesting Securities Inc.
- Audit support schedules and coordination with external auditors across fund and corporate audits
- Audit-ready working papers and supporting documentation maintained throughout the year
Process & operations
- Cross-functional coordination to ensure accounting outputs reflect business activity accurately
- Identification and execution of workflow and reconciliation improvements
- Contribution to automation and process improvement initiatives across Finance systems
What you bring
- CPA designated (or final stages)
- 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience
- Big 4 or national-firm background - required
- IFRS foundation with financial instruments, fund accounting, or investment structures as a plus
- External audit experience - preparation and coordination, not just awareness
- Strong Excel and ERP skills; NetSuite experience is an asset
- Able to investigate and resolve accounting issues independently
- High ownership mentality - you don't wait to be told what needs fixing
- Genuine interest in process improvement and working in a lean, fast-moving environment
What success looks like at 12–18 months
- Reconciliations and reporting deliverables are accurate, timely, and audit-ready without escalation
- Fund audit and close processes run reliably with your ownership
- Accounting issues are caught and resolved before they become close problems
- You're trusted to take on increasingly complex work with minimal direction
- You're on a clear track toward the Finance Manager role
Compensation & benefits
- Base salary: $85,000 – $95,000 CAD
- Performance bonus
- Equity participation in a publicly traded company
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits + Health Spending Account
- Flex vacation and personal days
- Fully remote work with the tools and support to succeed
- Wellbeing programs including counselling and mental health resources
