eCommerce Accounting Consultant
Fulfil.io • Toronto, Canada • Full Time
Posted on Wed, Jul 1, 2026
Rather than managing books directly, you'll help merchants optimize their bookkeeping processes, troubleshoot discrepancies, and ensure they're set up for financial accuracy and efficiency. You'll work closely with eCommerce brands to define best practices for integrating platforms such as Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, and PayPal within Fulfil.
What You'll Actually DoDay to Day, you will:
- Own merchant accounting issues end-to-end: troubleshoot reconciliation discrepancies between Fulfil and sales channels like Shopify and Amazon, and walk merchants through exactly what went wrong and why
- Guide merchants on eCommerce accounting fundamentals: support merchants with COGS tracking, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, and multi-channel transaction reconciliation within Fulfil
- Communicate clearly to diverse audiences: explain financial concepts to both technically savvy controllers and accountant-averse founders
- Support merchants through audits: help them pull the right documentation and reconciliations from Fulfil
- Advise on compliance and currency exposure: help merchants navigate managing sales tax across geographies (multiple US states, Canadian provinces and other countries such as the UK) and multi-currency accounting considerations
- Collaborate cross-functionally: surface recurring merchant pain points to Implementation, Support, and Engineering teams to shape product enhancements
- Leverage AI to move faster: use tools like Claude to clarify accounting treatments, compress context, or draft merchant updates
A realistic day might look like:
- Helping come up with a cutover plan for a merchant migrating from their current accounting software to Fulfil
- Helping a user troubleshoot and reconcile discrepancies within their ledger balances
- Conduct a training session with users, consult and provide best practices
- Working closely with our product team by iterating on customer feedback
RequirementsWhat We're Looking For:
- 3+ years of core accounting experience (not limited to tax or audit)
- Experience in a customer-facing bookkeeping or accounting advisory role, working with multiple clients, ideally eCommerce businesses
- Hands-on working experience reconciling and closing books, not just familiarity
- Strong understanding of US GAAP and eCommerce-specific accounting: revenue recognition across channels, COGS, inventory valuation, and settlement reconciliation
- Excellent customer–facing communication skills for daily live calls and async communication with North American merchants, including C-suite stakeholders
- Comfort with ambiguity, context-switching, and taking ownership without waiting to be told what to do next
- Experience with fast-paced, high-growth businesses that require adaptability
Nice to have:
- Experience at a US-focused accounting firm, eCommerce aggregator, or a multi-client BPO with eCommerce clients
- Familiarity with traditional ERPs (NetSuite, Sage, etc.)
- Working knowledge of US multi-state sales tax compliance and multi-currency accounting
- CA or CPA designation paired with demonstrated client-facing or advisory experience
- You're already using AI tools to work faster
- Most weeks are 45-55 hours; peak seasons (BFCM, major launches) hit 60+
- Occasional off-hours calls with our distributed team or for customer launches
- Long days (10+ hours) aren’t uncommon
- The work doesn’t pause even if we try to protect your focus time
- Real autonomy over execution (we measure impact, not facetime)
- Ownership of problems that matter to real businesses
- Unlimited PTO we actually want you to use (we’d rather you rest than burn out)
- If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of 10x more than your current environment allows you to output, that’s the gap between your potential and your actual impact. Fulfil eliminates that gap.
