Job description

Founded and based in Richmond, BC, Ideon Technologies uses the energy from supernova explosions in space to image deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The world pioneer in cosmic-ray muon tomography, Ideon has developed the REVEAL™ Subsurface Intelligence Platform™, comprising an advanced suite of proprietary data-generation hardware, software, AI‑powered services, and multi‑physics fusion that provide x‑ray‑like visibility deep underground and unlock the exponential power of integrated spatial data.

By transforming muon data into reliable 3D density maps, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor mineral deposits with confidence. This reduces risk and cost of traditional methods, while saving time, optimizing return, and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. In turn, this is helping accelerate the world’s transition to low‑impact mining and transform how companies recover the critical minerals required to power the global shift to clean energy – improving peoples’ lives and enhancing economic prosperity.

We are a dynamic tech scale‑up of nearly 70 employees. We are a team that is entrepreneurial by nature and focused on doing things right to deliver great customer outcomes. And we are committed to seeking out the best brains and the most exceptional humans, wherever they come from and however they happen to be packaged.

The Role

We are seeking a Junior Accountant (a new role!) to join our finance team to support on‑going operations and take responsibility for full‑cycle bookkeeping, reconciliations, and payroll.

Reporting to the Senior Accountant, you will actively contribute to essential accounting operations and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders. This role offers an excellent opportunity for a self‑motivated individual to advance their career in a fast‑paced environment.

You will impact and drive Ideon’s objectives forward by focusing on the following activities :

  • Perform full‑cycle bookkeeping using QuickBooks Online (QBO) for parent company and foreign subsidiaries.
  • Manage accounts payable and receivable functions, including invoices and payments.
  • Perform bank, credit card, and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Process payroll and remittances.
  • Review and reconcile employee expenses, ensuring all expenses are supported with appropriate documentation and comply with company policies.
  • Prepare, submit, and reconcile statutory filings for parent company and foreign subsidiaries (WorkSafe BC, Employer Health Tax, Superannuation), ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements and deadlines.
  • Prepare and submit GST / PST filings in accordance with applicable tax regulations.
  • Support month‑end and year‑end closing processes and financial reporting.
  • Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date vendor, customers, and employee records including timesheets.
  • Prepare weekly cash flow reports for Executive Leadership Team.
  • Support the preparation of government funding claims and related documentation.

Success in the role looks like :

  • Accurate and Timely Bookkeeping : Maintain accurate financial records for the parent company and subsidiaries using QuickBooks Online, ensuring all transactions are recorded and reconciled on schedule.
  • Reliable Payroll and Compliance : Ensure payroll is processed smoothly and remittances are submitted on time, with statutory filings (WorkSafe BC, Employer Health Tax, GST / PST) completed accurately and in compliance with regulations.
  • Confidentiality and Integrity : Maintain strict confidentiality and handle sensitive information with integrity and ethical judgement.
  • Priorities in the first few months will include :

  • Understanding key accounting functions (i.e. payroll processing, reconciliations, and internal procedures for expense documentation, etc.) at Ideon.
  • Accurately posting vendor invoices and processing payments.
  • Conducting monthly credit card reconciliations and verifying transactions by reviewing supporting documentation.
  • Updating financial records and schedules, including general ledger entries and supporting documentation, to facilitate reliable reporting.
  • Preparing semi‑monthly payroll, ensuring all employee compensation is processed correctly and in accordance with company policies.
  • Assisting with year‑end audit and gathering required documentation and supporting external auditors’ requests.
  • Qualifications

  • 2‑3 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Prior hands‑on experience with payroll processing
  • Diploma or degree in accounting, or equivalent combo of training and experience
  • Hands‑on experience with QuickBooks Online or equivalent accounting system
  • Exceptional organizational and decision‑making skills, with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Proficiency in MS Excel, including pivot tables, lookups, and formulas
  • Well‑developed communication skills in English at a fluent or professional level; able to be assertive and respectful
  • Legally able and currently documented to work full time hours in Canada
  • Nice‑to‑haves

  • Experience with IFRS and consolidation
  • Progress toward CPA designation
  • We also look for the following from all new Ideon team members :

  • Experience in or excitement for working in a tech scale‑up; happy to wear a few hats and adjust on the fly.
  • An ambitious, can‑do attitude; you get that we’re doing challenging work and are excited to dive in.
  • Enthusiastic and confident to take initiative and be adaptable in an agile, fast‑paced environment.
  • Solid teamwork skills; you’re accountable to yourself and your team and will jump in to help where you can.
  • Creative solutioning mindset with great problem‑solving skills.
  • Insatiable curiosity paired with a drive to deliver.
  • Able to work well under pressure and to meet committed deadlines.
  • Great interpersonal skills; able to build relationships with colleagues, customers, and external stakeholders.
  • Able to contribute something “extra” to our culture beyond the work that you do, like wowing people with your home‑baked goods, sharing improv comedy skills, or organizing sports games.
  • More Role Details

    Location : Ideon’s office is located at #150 - 4611 Viking Way in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.

    This is a hybrid role. We love seeing folks in the office 2+ times a week; you’re welcome to work from home the remainder of the week or come into the office all 5 days if you prefer. Our “be an adult” approach means you have the flexibility to determine your in‑office schedule while factoring in the positive impact of face‑to‑face connection and communication with your leader and teammates.

    During your first few months, it’s anticipated you’ll spend more time in the office to support role‑specific onboarding and relationship building.

    Hours of work : 8 hrs / day, M‑F. Typical working hours are 9AM‑5PM-ish pacific time; some employees shift slightly earlier or later based on business and personal needs. As Ideon is a high technology company, you may be asked to be flexible with your hours due to business requirements.

    What We Offer

    Salary : The annual salary range for this role, in Canadian dollars, is $56,000 - $70,000 . Early equity option allocations upon hire plus the opportunity to earn performance‑based option allocations annually are also highlights of our total rewards package.

  • Financial support for accreditation membership, exams, continuing professional development
  • Annual tuition allocation
  • Extended health and dental benefits, employee assistance program, and health / personal spending accounts
  • Minimum 3 weeks paid leave to start, including an annual closure between the Christmas and New Year’s stat holidays.
  • 5 paid sick days + other leaves per employment standards legislation.
  • For hybrid / remote roles, 2 weeks / year work‑from‑almost‑anywhere.
  • Parental leave top‑up for 12 months.
  • Employee referral bonus.
  • Casual dress – we like our jeans and hoodies.
  • While we work hard, we also sprinkle social events and learning opportunities into our days (in person and virtually).
  • Free parking and tasty snacks at the office!
  • Ideon’s salary ranges are determined by role and level and are benchmarked against companies of similar size and stage in the Vancouver, BC, Canada market. The range reflects the minimum and maximum new employee salary. It is not typical for a new employee to be hired at the top of the range; as experienced as someone may be they likely won’t have the directly related experience unique to working at Ideon. In exceptional circumstances, though, where a person has the knowledge, skills, and experience to exceed those needed for the position, we may consider compensating at the top of the range.
