The Opportunity

This is a hands-on role for an experienced generalist accountant who thrives in operational ownership, managing the month-end close, processing payroll, filing GST returns, and maintaining a clean general ledger month after month.

  • Run payment batches once approvals are complete.
  • Maintain AR and support collections.
  • Reconcile corporate cards and employee expenses.
  • Process payroll and related remittances.
  • Prepare and file GST/HST returns.
  • Track project and pilot costs
  • Optimize use of QBO, Dext, ApprovalMax, Plooto, and Visa Spend Clarity.
  • Prepare working papers for year-end review or audit.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 5+ years of full-cycle accounting experience.
  • Comfortable running an independent month-end close.
  • Experience with payroll, GST filings, reconciliations, and ASPE.
  • Experience overseeing AP workflows managed by another team member.
  • Strong familiarity with QuickBooks Online.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and accountable.
  • CPA designation is an asset

At Ayrton We Value:

  • Honesty and Candor – We are solving hard problems and look for diverse thought – challenging leadership is encouraged.

  • Dependability – We value action over words and will empower you to get things done

  • Be Kind – We are a team. Win together, lose together, learn together

Benefits:

  • Compensation in the form of salary and equity

  • Generous vacation policy

  • Health and dental benefits

We're looking for a full-time, long-term employee and we'll hire as soon as we meet the right person.
