Junior Accountant

Junior Accountant

Base Salary: $50,000 – $60,000 CAD + bonus + meaningful equity

Location: Remote-first (Canada), optional in-person collaboration in Vancouver

The Opportunity 

We’re hiring a high-potential Junior Accountant to join the Finance function of Orion Digital Corp, a dual-listed (TSX/NASDAQ) fintech operating across wealth management, payments, and lending.  This is not a traditional entry-level accounting role.

You will own approximately half your time in accounts payable - processing vendor invoices, managing payment runs, and maintaining the controls that protect the business. The other half sits in wealth accounting: posting fund entries, and supporting monthly reconciliations across wealth management accounts.
You will work directly with the Controller and Finance Manager. You will understand the why behind every entry, not just the how. And you will be actively supported in completing your CPA designation by a team of designated professionals who are invested in your development.

The pace is real. The work is visible. The team is small enough that your contribution matters from day one.

  About Orion
Orion Digital Corp (NASDAQ/TSX: ORIO) is a Canadian fintech operating across wealth management, payments, and lending. We run a lean, high-accountability Finance function that supports a public company across multiple business lines and entities.

Finance here is not a back-office function. Every journal entry, reconciliation, and vendor payment feeds the models and reports that leadership uses to make capital allocation decisions. You will see that connection clearly from day one — and you will be expected to take it seriously.

Why This Role Matters

• Your work feeds the financial models reviewed by the CFO
• You’ll develop across a full-cycle accounting environment — AP, fund accounting, close, audit support
• You’ll be mentored by CPA-designated professionals with Big 4 and public company backgrounds
• You’ll gain exposure to fund structures, IFRS reporting, financial instruments, and multi-entity consolidations
• Your CPA designation is structured into the role from day one — not an afterthought
• You’ll contribute to a modern Finance function that already uses NetSuite workflows and AI-assisted AP processes

What You'll Own
1. Accounts payable (~50%)

• Process vendor invoices, payment runs, and EFT uploads accurately and on schedule
• Maintain vendor records and banking details — apply payment controls on every transaction
• Flag anomalies before processing, not after — vendor payment controls are a first-principles responsibility
• Perform bank reconciliations across multiple accounts — daily and month-end
• Coordinate with vendors on payment queries and discrepancies

2. Wealth accounting (~50%)

• Post fund accounting entries
• Support monthly reconciliations for wealth management accounts
• Support IFRS-compliant entries for fund structures under the guidance of the Finance Manager
• Prepare audit-ready supporting schedules for fund and corporate audit cycles

3. Month-end close support

• Prepare journal entries with appropriate supporting documentation
• Complete assigned close checklist items on schedule, every month
• Support the AP close prerequisite — bank accounts reconciled before close proceeds
• Escalate anything unusual before it becomes someone else’s problem

4. Process and controls

• Document processes as you learn them — if it isn’t written down, it doesn’t exist
• Identify inefficiencies and bring proposed solutions, not just observations
• Support audit preparation — schedules, documentation, auditor queries
• Participate in NetSuite workflow improvements as the Finance function evolves
  
   

What You Bring
Required

• BCom or BBA with an accounting major or equivalent
• CPA PEP eligible — confirm academic prerequisites before applying
• Motivated to complete the CPA designation — this is a condition of the role

Core attributes

• You check your work before you say it’s done -you verify numbers against source systems
• You flag the anomaly - when something doesn’t look right you say so immediately
• You want to know why an entry is made, not just how to make it
• You follow through - when you commit to a deadline you meet it
• You're resourceful and not afraid to ask questions - you seek out answers, use available resources, and ask for help when needed

Assets (not required)

• AP or month-end close exposure from co-op or work experience
• NetSuite experience 
• Exposure to fund accounting, financial services, or public company environments
• Intermediate to advanced Excel

CPA Development 
We are serious about this. Not as a recruiting line - as a structured commitment.

• Protected study time during exam periods — agreed in advance, not negotiated each cycle
• Exam fees covered by Orion for first attempt on each module
• Active mentorship from the Controller and Finance Manager — all CPA designated
• Practical experience that maps directly to CPA competency requirements across financial reporting, management accounting, audit, and tax
• A Finance function small enough that your work is visible and your development is a genuine priority

We expect you to take the designation seriously. We will support you in doing it.

Growth Path
We promote from within. The path to Senior Accountant and beyond is real — but it's earned, not assumed. If you develop the technical depth, complete the designation, and demonstrate the ownership instinct the role requires, the trajectory is there.

What Success Looks like in 12 Months

• You run the AP and bank reconciliation cycle independently with no errors requiring correction

• Fund entries and wealth reconciliations are accurate and audit-ready each month
• You have completed your first CPA module
• You have documented at least three processes that weren’t documented before you arrived
• Your close checklist items are consistently done before the deadline — not on it
• You have identified and proposed at least one process improvement that was implemented

Compensation

• Base salary: $50,000 – $60,000 CAD
• Performance-based bonus
• Equity participation aligned with long-term value creation
• CPA exam fees covered (first attempt per module)
