Accountant & Financial Analyst

Reports to: Chief Financial Officer

About The Company

We are a rapidly growing, founder-led North American company changing how hotels buy and use everyday paper products. Our sustainable paper products and purpose-built dispenser systems help hotels and hospitality groups cut waste, lower supply costs and simplify housekeeping, without compromising the guest experience.

What started with independent boutique properties now serves well-known hotel brands and hospitality groups across Canada and the United States. We are investor-backed, design-led and focused on scaling efficiently, with a lean team that values ownership and clear numbers.

About The Role

This role exists to take full ownership of day-to-day accounting and to be the CFO's right-hand partner on data and analysis. As the business scales across two countries, two currencies, multiple third-party warehouses and a growing hotel customer base, the finance function needs someone who can keep the books clean and answer the hard questions at the same time.

Roughly a third to a half of your time goes to the close and compliance. The rest is the part that moves the business: turning large, messy datasets from NetSuite, Shopify and HubSpot into clear answers on margins, dispenser economics and freight recovery. We want someone who looks at how transactions are recorded today and asks how to do it better, so the analysis gets faster and cleaner down the road.

This is not a junior role. You will work directly with the CFO and the Operations team, and over time you will own those conversations yourself. It suits someone experienced, curious and independent who can jump in, figure things out and ask for help when it counts.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle accounting in NetSuite: accounts payable, accounts receivable, journal entries, accruals, prepaids and reconciliations.
• Lead the monthly, quarterly and year-end close against a defined calendar and prepare draft financial statements under ASPE.
• Reconcile bank, credit card, AP, AR, inventory and clearing accounts monthly, and investigate and resolve variances.
• Maintain fixed asset and dispenser amortization schedules, and run month-end FX revaluation of USD balances.
• Own the close checklist, reconciliation standards and chart of accounts hygiene so the close gets faster and cleaner over time.

Inventory, Landed Cost & Payables

• Process and code vendor invoices in CAD and USD (contract manufacturers, 3PL warehouses, freight and customs brokers), matched to purchase orders and receipts.
• Account for inventory across multiple third-party warehouses, including landed cost (duties, freight and brokerage).
• Reconcile NetSuite inventory to 3PL reports and resolve count and valuation discrepancies.
• Manage vendor setup and records, and prepare scheduled payment runs for CFO approval.

Sales Tax & Compliance

• Own the indirect tax calendar: GST/HST, provincial PST and US state sales tax returns prepared, reconciled and filed accurately and on time.
• Maintain resale and exemption certificate records, and monitor US economic nexus thresholds.
• Support government audits and the annual external audit, including PBC lists, lead sheets and supporting schedules.

Reporting, Analysis & Planning

• Build and maintain recurring reporting: weekly sales and inventory, monthly management reporting and KPI dashboards.
• Build NetSuite saved searches and reports, and extract, clean and reconcile data across NetSuite, Shopify and HubSpot, largely in Google Sheets.
• Partner with Operations to define the data they need, and adjust NetSuite setup and reports to deliver it.
• Analyze margins by customer and product, dispenser economics, freight cost recovery, customer usage and inventory planning.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, cash flow tracking, variance analysis and board reporting packages.

Billing, Collections & Business Partnering

• Act as the day-to-day finance point of contact for Operations and Sales on billing, customer statements, collections, freight and warehouse costs.
• Track AR aging and drive collections follow-up with customers.
• Respond to customer and vendor accounting inquiries quickly and accurately.

Process & Automation

• Rethink how transactions are processed and recorded so downstream reporting and analysis are faster and more reliable.
• Identify and implement automation across the accounting workflow.
• Document procedures so the work is repeatable and can scale as the team grows.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years running the month-end close independently.
• Degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field.
• Experience in a product or inventory-based business, including inventory accounting and cost of goods sold.
• Hands-on multi-currency accounting experience.
• Strong technical accounting foundation under IFRS, US GAAP, ASPE or a comparable framework.
• Hands-on experience with at least one mid-market ERP (NetSuite strongly preferred).
• Advanced spreadsheet skills, ideally in Google Sheets: pivot tables, QUERY, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH and SUMIFS, and comfortable working with tens of thousands of rows. Advanced Excel users who can work in Google Sheets are welcome.
• Clear, confident written and spoken English, with the ability to explain the numbers to non-finance colleagues and lead conversations with Operations independently.
• Able to work consistently within 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Preferred Qualifications

• NetSuite experience, including saved searches and adjusting setup and reports so Operations gets the data it needs.
• Experience across several accounting systems or ERPs.
• CPA or international equivalent (for example CA(SA), SAIPA or Contador Público), or actively working toward one. Hands-on experience matters more than the designation.
• ASPE knowledge.
• Canadian sales tax (GST/HST/PST) and/or US state sales tax experience, including nexus monitoring.
• Cross-border and import accounting: landed cost, duties, customs brokers and 3PL warehouses.
• Dashboarding in Google Workspace, such as Looker Studio.
• Experience with Shopify, HubSpot or Versapay.
• Prior experience supporting a US or Canadian company remotely.
• Startup or scale-up experience, and an interest in sustainability.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You Are

• An owner. You run the close without being chased, know where every number on the balance sheet comes from and flag risks early, not after the deadline.
• Curious and analytical. You want to know why a number moved, and you would rather answer a question with clean data than an opinion.
• A clear communicator. You can walk Operations through the numbers and, over time, run those conversations without the CFO in the room.
• A process improver. You look at how transactions are recorded today and change it so reporting and analysis are easier down the road.
• Independent. You can jump into the deep end, figure things out and ask for help when it really counts.
• Detail-driven. Reconciliations tie out, tax filings go in on time and inventory matches the warehouse.
• Steady under pressure. Two currencies, two tax regimes and multiple warehouses do not rattle you.

Why Join Us

• A true partnership with the CFO. You work side by side with leadership, with exposure to management and board-level reporting.
• A manager who invests in your growth. The CFO's goal is for you to take on more and more of her work over time.
• Real ownership. You run the accounting function day to day and shape how a scaling company manages its numbers.
• Visible impact. Your analysis on margins, dispenser economics and freight recovery feeds directly into pricing and growth decisions.
• A mission that shows up in the numbers. Our products measurably reduce waste across the hospitality industry.
