FINANCE ACCOUNTANT (100% Remote outside of Canada)

Wishpond Technologies & SalesCloser Technologies currently has the position of Finance Accountant available, and we’re excited to tell you about it !
OVERVIEW
We are looking for a Finance Accountant to serve as the operational core of our monthly accounting close and day-to-day financial operations. You will own the multi-entity intercompany allocation model, bank matching and treasury operations across all entities, GST compliance, lender compliance reporting, and a significant portion of the month-end close, working directly under the Senior Accounting Manager. You will also serve as a trained resource for payroll processing across all entities.
 
This is not a data-entry or bookkeeping assistant role. It requires accounting judgment, real process ownership, and the ability to work independently during a compressed close and quarterly filing windows.

(TSX-V: SCAI) are two publicly listed companies operating under a shared Finance function, with six active business units consolidated under IFRS. We are a lean, AI-first Finance team that has eliminated over $115K/yr in third-party finance software costs by building tools in-house, and we expect everyone we hire to bring that same bias toward building rather than buying. In collaboration with the Finance Team and all other departments, the Finance Accountant is responsible for the success of Wishpond Technologies Ltd & SalesCloser Technologies Ltd.

• Proactively identifying and implementing AI-assisted workflows and automations to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of Finance operations
• Supporting the development and maintenance of automated workbooks and reporting tools across the Finance function
Other duties as assigned
QUALIFICATIONS
2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally in a multi-entity or SaaS/tech environment
• Knowledge and understanding of IFRS / accrual-basis accounting, you know why things are done, not just how
Comfortable with Xero or a comparable cloud accounting platform (training available on our specific setup)
You solve problems before escalating, you know the difference between a flag that needs a decision and a question you can answer yourself
You hit deadlines without being chased; a compressed month-end close window is normal, not a crisis
• AI-first mindset, you use tools to work faster and smarter, and you actively look for automation opportunities
Must be very detail-oriented, creative, and have a passion for helping others achieve their goals
Self-motivated with the ability to establish and maintain solid relationships through a client-first mentality 
As part of a diverse team, the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment

Experience with payroll processing or commissions is an asset
Fluent in English (spoken and written). Knowledge of a second language is considered an asset
 
WORK ENVIRONMENT 
Given the nature of this role, it is expected that the successful candidate will provide their own workstation, computer, headset, and have a fast and reliable internet connection. Certain roles will be required to utilize and or download company-approved software.
The individual must maintain meaningful availability overlap with Pacific Time Zone (PT) business hours, particularly during month-end close periods (generally the last week of each month through the 15th of the following month).
• Due to the nature of this role, we may verify backgrounds, including conducting employment references, criminal records, and credit checks.
