About The Role

This is a first or second industry move for someone who came up through Big 4 and wants real accounting ownership - not another rotation.

You'll work directly with the Controller and Finance Manager across fund accounting, IFRS reporting, full-cycle close, and external audit for Orion Digital's asset management entity. The scope is broad by design: financial instruments, fund reconciliations, consolidations, treasury-related accounting, and operational finance - all within a dual-listed public company running a lean, high-accountability team.
