So if you want in on our mission, read on… What you'll do We need a detail-oriented, reliable, and trustworthy Financial & Accounting Analyst to be part of our growing team. You'll run the day-to-day accounting – classifying transactions in QBO, managing accounts payable and receivable, maintaining the general ledger, and keeping the books clean. You'll oversee a highly complex invoicing process, where attention to detail and the ability to navigate challenging scenarios are essential. You’ll develop and enforce well-maintained financial documents, policies, systems, and internal controls ensuring compliance with provincial and federal regulations. You’ll prepare timely financial statements, reports, and cost-benefit analyses, including year-to-date actuals, forecasts, and variance explanations – on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. You'll work with analytics and data visualization tools, alongside core financial platforms to extract insights, identify trends, and surface the data that matters most to the business. You'll own the end-to-end financial operations of the GeniusCash rewards program ‒ including weekly fulfillment validation and payment processing with the Customer Service team, fraud investigation, and reconciliation of manual approvals. You’ll collaborate with the Sr. Finance Manager and other members of the senior leadership team to develop and implement financial strategies that align with and support the company’s objectives.

We're a company that impacts people's money. Even small errors affect our relationships with banking partners, our founders' decision-making, and ultimately the Canadians who trust us. You'll need to bring the kind of care and attention to detail where double-checking is second nature, not a chore. Process and consistency are your competitive advantage. We don't reinvent the wheel every month-end, we execute the playbook with discipline and precision. You’ll follow and maintain structured processes, ensuring consistency while improving them when better approaches are identified. You'll work independently most of the time and responsiveness matters deeply. As a remote team, you won't have someone looking over your shoulder. You need to be a true self-starter who can figure things out, manage your own time, and stay productive without direct supervision. If you're someone who lets messages sit or forgets to follow up, you'll struggle here. The work matters. You're not just crunching numbers in isolation. The revenue data you compile informs strategic decisions. The GeniusCash validation work you do protects real Canadians from fraud and ensures they get the rewards they earned.
