Senior Accountant

Role Summary

We’re growing and we’re looking for a detail-oriented, process-loving accountant to join our finance team in Edmonton. Reporting to the Controller, the Senior Accountant is responsible for owning day-to-day finance operations with a focus on accounts payable, accounts receivable, procurement, and spend management across the organization. This is a hands-on role that sits at the intersection of finance and operations, built for someone who takes pride in owning the details — accurate books, tight controls, disciplined purchasing, and well-run processes. The role plays a key part in maintaining financial discipline across events, supporting cash flow visibility, and building scalable systems and processes as the business continues to grow. If you're a few years into your accounting career and ready to take on more — this is your opportunity.
