About Convoy Finance
We like working with people who move fast, think for themselves, and care about doing great work. That's pretty much how we run Convoy.
We're a small finance and accounting firm working with technology, SaaS, fintech and Web3 companies across Canada and internationally. Our clients are ambitious businesses, and we work directly with the founders and finance teams building them.
That means we're not just looking at numbers all day. We get to see what's happening inside growing companies and help the people running them make better decisions. One week you might be leading a month-end close, and the next you could be helping a client work through a reporting issue, improve their financial processes or solve something completely new.
We're a small team, too. Most of us are based in Toronto, with a few people working remotely around the world. There's very little bureaucracy, decisions happen quickly, and good ideas can actually turn into action.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an Accounting Manager with a strong technical accounting background and experience gained at a leading international accounting firm.
You'll oversee accounting work across a portfolio of growing companies and work directly with international clients, founders, CFOs and senior finance professionals.
You'll be responsible for making sure the accounting is accurate, the work gets done well and client deliverables stay on track. But we also expect you to look beyond the numbers: understand what's happening in the business, identify issues before they become problems and bring ideas to the table.
This is a hands-on management role. You'll still be close to the accounting, while also reviewing work, guiding team members, managing priorities and helping clients navigate more complex accounting and finance questions.
Our clients move quickly, and so do we. There will be deadlines, competing priorities and new problems to solve.
As an Accounting Manager, you'll have significant ownership over your client relationships and the opportunity to grow into broader advisory, financial management and leadership responsibilities.
What You'll Do
You'll take ownership of:
- Managing a portfolio of client accounts, ensuring accurate and timely delivery of accounting and reporting work
- Leading and overseeing full-cycle accounting and month-end close, including reconciliations, journal entries, AP/AR and financial statement preparation
- Reviewing accounting work and ensuring quality, accuracy and consistency across client deliverables
- Preparing and reviewing financial statements, management reports and financial analysis
- Working directly with founders, CFOs and senior finance teams to answer questions, resolve issues and provide accounting guidance
- Managing client deadlines, priorities and deliverables, and proactively communicating when something needs attention
- Supporting year-end compilations, audits, reviews and tax-related work
- Identifying opportunities to improve accounting processes, systems and controls
- Coaching and supporting more junior members of the accounting team
- Taking ownership of more complex accounting issues and helping the team determine the right approach
- Supporting advisory and finance projects as they come up
- Building strong, long-term relationships with clients and becoming a trusted point of contact for their accounting needs
What We're Looking For
You have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field and 5+ years of relevant accounting experience, including significant experience in full-cycle accounting, month-end close and financial reporting.
Previous experience at a Big Four or other leading top 10 international accounting firm is required. We're looking for candidates who have developed strong technical accounting skills in a demanding public accounting, audit, assurance or advisory environment, with exposure to high standards of quality and complex accounting work. This is mandatory.
You should have experience in public accounting, audit, assurance or client accounting and advisory services, with exposure to high standards of quality, complex accounting work and demanding client environments.
You're confident owning full-cycle accounting, month-end close and financial reporting, while also reviewing work, managing priorities and ensuring that client deliverables are accurate and delivered on time.
You're comfortable working directly with clients, founders, CFOs and senior finance professionals. You communicate clearly in English and can explain what the numbers mean, not just what the numbers are. This role is 100% in English, both internally and with clients.
You have experience reviewing or mentoring other accountants and are comfortable providing guidance, giving feedback and taking responsibility for the quality of the work delivered by your team.
You're able to work in Eastern Time business hours. Availability from 9am to 6pm Eastern Time is mandatory.
Experience with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Taxprep or CaseWare is a plus, as is experience working with SaaS, technology, fintech or Web3 companies.
A CPA designation or active CPA pursuit is also a plus.
