Intermediate Accountant

Money Maestro : With a seasoned background in accounting, you know your way around profit and loss statements the way Taylor Swift knows her way around breakups. When it comes to monthly financial statements, you’ve got the accuracy of a Swiss watchmaker. And your annual reports don’t just balance the books—they tell a clear, accurate, and meaningful financial story.

If that sounds like you, let's talk!

AlgaeCal is looking for a Vancouver-based Intermediate Accountant who can hit the ground running as a valued part of our finance team.

Small print here ⇒ We’re looking for an experienced accountant, so if you’re at the beginning of your career, this isn’t the opportunity for you.

But if it does sound like you…

This job will give you ALL the feels :

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea : A world without fear of fracture. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence and the ability to live the life they love.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only natural solution that is clinically-supported to increase bone density. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If you’re at a place in your career where you’re excited by the chance for your work to have meaning and help make a difference, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• A proven ability to excel at day-to-day accounting functions , and you’ve got a reputation for always sweating the details.
• 2+ years of accounting experience in an eCommerce environment where you were responsible for full-cycle bookkeeping, general ledger maintenance, account reconciliation, and tax compliance.
• The chops to quickly assume responsibility for our day-to-day accounting needs.
• Experience at preparing CRA / IRS / VAT tax filings and working papers.
• A degree in accounting and you're currently pursuing your CPA / CMA designation.
• The ability to effortlessly prepare monthly financial statements, reconcile credit cards, monitor expenses, and a million other money-related things. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it - you’ll need a solid knowledge of all things accounting / bookkeeping to succeed in this role.
• A brain the size of a small planet! In this role, you’ll need to think imaginatively and act strategically to help us improve our financial reporting processes.
• A resume that demonstrates your mastery of reporting. Sorry, but if you have to Google what IFRS is; or don’t know what GAAP stands for, this isn’t the position for you.
• A good working knowledge of QuickBooks .

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries, but right now we’re only seeking experienced candidates who will immediately light up this role.
