About the role:

Clutch is looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Finance team in Toronto! Reporting into the VP, Corporate Controller, you will be involved in all aspects of the full accounting cycle, including assisting with the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, with a strong focus on establishing appropriate internal controls and addressing risks in existing processes.

Beyond traditional accounting responsibilities, you will have the unique opportunity to build, document, and strengthen end-to-end financial processes, ensure the company maintains a strong internal control environment as we scale, identify process gaps and control deficiencies, partner cross-functionally to design and implement solutions, and support readiness for public-company processes.

What you'll do:

  • Document, maintain, and improve accounting and operational processes—ensuring control, clarity, consistency, and scalability.
  • Assess, identify, and mitigate risks across financial workflows (AR, AP, inventory, cash management, revenue).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Operations, Sales, Lending, Logistics) to ensure processes align with control requirements and business needs.
  • Develop and implement new internal controls to support IPO-readiness and a strong compliance framework.
  • Partner with the VP, Corporate Controller to design SOPs, workflows, and documentation required for audit-readiness and efficient onboarding of new team members.
  • Partner with the VP, Corporate Controller to assess, remediate and monitor information technology general controls ("ITGC").
  • Conduct periodic internal control testing to ensure policies are followed and design improvements where gaps are identified.
  • Support initiatives to streamline accounting operations, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual work.
  • Work with the finance team and external stakeholders in the implementation of a new ERP system, including process mapping, testing, training, and control design.
  • Lead and execute day-to-day and monthly financial activities including reconciliations and month-end/quarter-end/year-end close activities.
  • Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules with high accuracy.
  • Assist with the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
  • Analyze and report on financial and operational metrics to support data-driven decision-making.

We're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; must be CPA-designated
  • 3+ years of experience in analytical accounting or finance role, public accounting experience is a plus
  • Advanced knowledge/proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets
  • Relentless attention to detail and accuracy, while having a bias to action
  • Exceptional organizational and multitasking skills
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills
  • Experience with Oracle Fusion is a plus
