Senior Accountant - Fintech

About the role

Bankjoy, a FinTech startup, is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to own day-to-day accounting operations for a US-headquartered fintech with a Canadian entity. Reporting directly to the COO, this sole-contributor role covers accounts receivable and payable, the monthly close across multiple entities, the US multi-state sales tax function and the annual audit. It suits a resourceful, self-directed person who works autonomously and documents how the function runs.

Key responsibilities

• Revenue, billing and AR: own the monthly billing cycle (recurring SaaS subscriptions, implementation fees, upsells, passthroughs), interpret signed contracts, source billing data from Salesforce and contracts, reconcile vendor invoices, follow up on ageing and prepare invoices for COO release.
• Accounts payable: intake, vendor coding and entry, payment runs, vendor statements and dispute resolution.
• US sales tax: nexus monitoring, registrations, monthly and quarterly filings, Avalara administration, exemption certificates, voluntary disclosures and audits, plus support for Canadian corporate tax and US federal/state returns with external advisors.
• Month-end close: full close across US parent, Canadian entity and subsidiary, recurring schedules, payroll allocation, variance analysis and the monthly KPI package for the board.
• Audit: prepare PBC schedules and workpapers, respond to auditor requests and maintain rollforward schedules.
• Documentation: write and maintain documented processes, fix recurring errors and recommend workflow improvements.

Required profile

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of a month-end close (must have).
• Hands-on US multi-state sales tax experience (must have).
• Working knowledge of Avalara or a comparable sales tax engine (must have).
• US GAAP revenue recognition under ASC 606 for multi-element SaaS contracts (must have).
• Multi-entity experience with cross-border operations and foreign currency translation.
• Experience owning or supporting an external audit; CPA (Canada or US) or equivalent practical experience.
• SaaS or fintech experience strongly preferred; credit union or community bank experience a plus.
• Ability to work without supervision and evidence of process documentation written and maintained.

Required skills

• QuickBooks Online, Bill.com and a billing platform (proficiency required)
• Zoho and Salesforce a plus
• US GAAP ASC 606 and US multi-state sales tax
