Senior Accountant
Location: Remote (Canada)
Compensation: $85,000 – $95,000 CAD base + performance bonus + equity
About the role
This is a first or second industry move for someone who came up through Big 4 and wants real accounting ownership - not another rotation.
You'll work directly with the Controller and Finance Manager across fund accounting, IFRS reporting, full-cycle close, and external audit for Orion Digital's asset management entity. The scope is broad by design: financial instruments, fund reconciliations, consolidations, treasury-related accounting, and operational finance - all within a dual-listed public company running a lean, high-accountability team.
If you want a steep learning curve, early ownership, and a clear path to Finance Manager - this is the role.
