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

A note on fit

This role is designed for someone early in their post-designation career who wants to move faster than a traditional path allows. You'll be given real ownership, direct access to finance leadership, and a clear line of sight to the next level. If that's what you're looking for, we'd like to hear from you.

Benefits of working with us:

  • Fully Remote Work - Unless otherwise specified in the job posting, Orion offers flexible remote work, supported by the tools and resources needed to succeed.
  • Comprehensive Health Benefits - Access to medical, dental, and vision coverage plus a Health Spending Account
  • Stock Options - Meaningful equity participation aligned with long-term value creation and company growth
  • Flex Vacation - Benefit from paid time off, including vacation and personal days
