Accounting Manager

Curious how AI could reshape the way accounting teams work — and want to be the one who builds it?

Then Jobber might be the place for you! We're looking for an Accounting Manager to be part of our Finance department.

Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn't like it used to be—the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That's why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want!

Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada's Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we've come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we've just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers .

The team:

The Finance team at Jobber is responsible for anything money-related, helping us plan, budget, and implement Jobber's best ideas.

The role:

Reporting to the Manager, Accounting, the Accounting Manager will drive the accounting projects that make the rest of the function better. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports, working in focused sprints — you sit outside the day-to-day general ledger close, but you understand it deeply enough to improve it. You're known for your curiosity, your bias to action, and your ability to turn an ambiguous question into a documented, defensible answer.

The Accounting Manager will:

Own technical accounting expertise, serving as the go-to resource for new or complex transactions — think revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), stock compensation (ASC 718), business combinations, and capitalized software.

Lead our controls mapping work, connecting risks to controls, documenting how our processes run, and identifying gaps — building the internal control framework that lets us scale with confidence.

Bring a strong working knowledge of the month-end and year-end close, without owning it, so you can map controls and redesign processes with a real understanding of how they run.

Collaborate across Finance and other departments to deliver projects with cross-functional impact, and act as a resource for our Finance-owned tools.

Reimagine our accounting processes with AI, redesigning workflows around what Company-approved AI and automation tools make possible — building processes that are faster and better controlled, while applying professional judgement and human review to every output.

To be successful, you should have:

Your CPA designation, with strong knowledge of US GAAP; SEC reporting experience is strongly preferred.

Significant accounting experience, including time in public practice, with a track record of technical accounting research and documentation of process and controls.

Strong analytical skills, with the judgement to make decisions based on accurate, timely analysis.

Solid project management instincts — the ability to scope ambiguous work, sequence it, and drive it to the finish line on your own.

Coachability and adaptability, with the flexibility to thrive amid change and experimentation in a growing organization.

A genuine team player who collaborates widely, champions best practices, and rolls up their sleeves when it's all hands on deck.

Experience working with a SaaS company is an asset.

Previous IPO, S-1/F-1, or public company experience is a big plus.

Experience using NetSuite is a plus.
