Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.
Our flagship Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect.
This role is based in Sydney, and we’re looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.
We are currently looking for a Corporate Accounting Manager to join our team.
We are looking for someone who thrives under constant change and is continuously looking for process improvements. Areas you would cover could include cash, intercompany, leases, accruals, and acquisition integrations. In this role, you’ll be a mix of reviewer and preparer depending on the level of complexity.
Additionally, in this role you’ll be expected to represent the corporate accounting team during AU hours by working closely with the broader accounting teams, tax team, and key business partners to support the close process, troubleshoot issues, and ensure accounting outcomes are accurate and reliable. As needed, you may also support adjacent initiatives such as systems enhancements, process documentation, and other accounting projects that strengthen close operations.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in strengthening Canva's month-end close capabilities while building a high-performing team that can support the scale and complexity of a rapidly expanding company.
You are a strategic Corporate Accounting Manager with strong technical expertise, operational skills, and a proven record of successfully developing and scaling accounting processes.
As Canva continues to rapidly grow, we are exposed to a broader range of external stakeholders, regulators, and reporting requirements. Joining a global team, the Corporate Accounting team is responsible for managing the close process, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and transparency of financial information for all our stakeholders.
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity, and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for success in and outside of work.

We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world.
Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%.
We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
