We are looking for an exceptional Senior Accountant to join our team and grow into ownership of the accounting function.

This role is intended for someone who is ready for more than a traditional Senior Accountant position. You will initially work closely with the current Director of Finance to learn the business, systems, processes, and industry. As you become established in the role, you will progressively take ownership of the finance function, with the intention of moving into an Accounting Manager role within approximately six months.

We operate in the regulated cannabis industry, with a business model that involves manufacturing, inventory, third-party production partners, and a lot of moving pieces. We need someone who is technically strong, exceptionally detail-oriented, naturally curious, and capable of eventually running the accounting function with a high degree of independence.

As you transition into the role, you will take ownership of:

• The full accounting cycle, including AP, AR, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and general ledger management
• Month-end and year-end close, ensuring financial reporting is accurate, complete, and delivered on time
• Preparation and review of monthly financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations, and supporting schedules
• Biweekly payroll, including payroll changes, reconciliations, remittances, year-end reporting, and payroll compliance

• Strong full-cycle accounting experience and the ability to independently manage a set of books from transaction through financial statements
• Hands-on payroll experience is required

• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large, complex, or imperfect datasets
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• An instinct to investigate discrepancies and understand why something happened, not simply report that it happened
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities
