Job Description

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
