About the role

About CoLab At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.

CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, can analyze designs for you and spot common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker.

About the Role In this role, you'll work with the core accounting team responsible for activities like month-end close, payroll, reconciliations, and completing the entire accounting cycle — while also helping us put better systems and controls in place as we grow. Reporting to the Senior Accountant, you will ensure clean books, accurate numbers, and tight processes. This isn't a narrow bookkeeping role. We're looking for someone who is willing to speak up to provide continuous improvement into our operational accounting function.

What you'll do:

  • Collaborate with the account team and play a key role in the entire accounting cycle including, managing AP, AR, month-end close processes, payroll preparation and ad-hoc reporting;
  • Assist in producing timely, accurate monthly financial statements by completing our month-end close activities;
  • Support the internal team completing the annual financial audit, monthly tax compliance and other reporting requirements as needed;
  • Maintain and improve internal controls and financial processes;
  • Assist in managing the annual corporate budget by identifying variances and gaps to management;
  • Help develop management reporting identifying trends within the business such as DSO, cashflow trends and variance review

Who you are:

  • 2–5 years of relevant accounting experience, ideally at a SaaS company or working with SaaS companies through prior firm experience;
  • Pursuing CPA designation or already designated;
  • Strong knowledge of accounting principles (ASPE, IFRS & GAAP), specifically revenue recognition accounting flow for SaaS;
  • Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills, familiarity with NetSuite would be a plus;
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills;
  • Demonstrate the ability to take direction and work to deliver accurate results.

Extra Details

  • This is a full-time, permanent position with a competitive compensation package that includes stock options at a scaling technology company;
  • Our benefits includes: unlimited paid vacation, maternity leave, extended health & dental coverage, up to 5% RRSP matching and professional development opportunities;
  • This role is an excellent growth opportunity, offering hands-on exposure to the technical accounting obstacles faced by scaling SaaS companies in a tight knit accounting team.
  • This role is open to candidates located in St. John's, NL or Ottawa, ON.

Your most critical product decisions are made everyday in design reviews.

But as products get more complex and teams become larger and more specialized, the design review process looks the same as it did 10-20 years ago.

So what happens?

-43% of design feedback is never documented or addressed -87% of engineering leaders say it takes hours or days to trace the rationale behind a single design decision -90% of companies have product launch delays due to late-stage design changes.

These problems won’t be solved by more meetings, better PLM workflows or increased pressure to keep slide decks and spreadsheets up-to-date. These are problems that require a completely new way for engineering teams to work together.

CoLab is a cloud based platform purpose built for fast, effective design review. Using CoLab, multiple engineers, designers, and other stakeholders can review designs together and build off one another's feedback.


CoLab makes it easy to review the right data (including CAD) with all the right people, capture useful feedback, and track issues through to action. CoLab pulls together design discussions previously lost in emails, spreadsheets, and notebooks into a single platform that integrates back into PLM. We call it a Design Engagement System.
