Full Cycle Accountant / Bookkeeper

Description

Money Maestro: You live and breathe numbers. You understand cash-flow statements the way Neo understood the Matrix. You know your way around profit and loss statements the way Lady Gaga knows her way around a melody. You’ve got a razor-sharp eye for spotting financial inaccuracies, and a passion for producing the most insightful financial statements possible.

AND you love a fun, collaborative workday where you get to help gazillions of people live their healthiest, happiest lives. If that sounds like you, let's talk!

AlgaeCal is looking for a Vancouver-based Full Cycle Accountant / Bookkeeper to join our finance team and help us change the world - one balance sheet at a time.

Small print here ⇒ We’re an eCommerce company. So, we want you to have eCommerce experience. Lots of it. So if you don’t love digital marketing the way Donald Trump loves mirrors, you probably shouldn’t read any further.

Still here? Okay then…

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

You’ll love it here:

• It’s not a sweatshop (mostly because the AC works). If you recognize that line, you’ll be relieved to know this isn’t one of those horrible gigs that expects you to work ridiculously long hours and frowns upon family time. We’re not like that! We enjoy our life, and we want you to enjoy yours too.
• You’ll be working with a great team. The finance team has been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. And the best part? They're friendly, funny, and easy to work with.
• You’ll use your powers for good. This isn’t one of those jobs that crush your soul with mindless tasks. On the contrary! You’ll be overseeing a wide range of tasks copy that spreads a powerful message – bone loss is beatable.
• You won’t be micromanaged. We’ll give you a simple set of KPIs with crystal clear expectations.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• 4+ years of accounting experience in an eCommerce environment.
• A proven ability to excel at day-to-day accounting functions, and you’ve got a reputation for always sweating the details.
• More flexibility than a rubber gymnast. You can effortlessly switch between preparing a monthly financial statement, reconciling credit cards, monitoring expenses, and a million other money-related things. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it - you’ll need a solid knowledge of all things accounting/bookkeeping to succeed in this role.
• A brain the size of a small planet! In this role, you’ll need to think imaginatively and act strategically to help us improve our financial reporting processes.
• A resume that demonstrates your mastery of reporting. Sorry, but if you have to Google what IFRS is; or don’t know what GAAP stands for, this isn’t the position for you.
• A solid knowledge of QuickBooks
• A degree in accounting or you’re currently pursuing your CPA/CMA designation.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries! We’re only seeking candidates who will immediately light up this role.

What Will You Earn?

Let’s agree on salary and paid vacation once we know what you offer, but our goal is to pay above market rate for your unique skills.

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

• AlgaeCal Healthcare Plan (Premiums Covered 100%!), which you're eligible to sign up for after three months of employment.
• Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use.

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
