[Hiring] Technical Accounting Manager @Solink

Role Description

We're looking for a Technical Accounting Manager to be our go-to person on technical accounting research, keeping our accounting policies current, and assisting with complex transaction accounting for the company. This role is distinct from the core close/consolidation function — it's focused on getting the judgment calls right: revenue recognition for complex or bundled hardware/software arrangements, new accounting pronouncements, and one-off or non-routine transactions. You'll report to the Assistant Controller and act as the internal technical resource for the rest of the accounting and finance operations team, as well as a key liaison to external auditors on complex matters.

Given our hardware-enabled SaaS model and multi-entity structure reporting under IFRS, this role has real scope for meaningful technical work — multi-element revenue arrangements, lease accounting, share-based payments, and financial instruments, among others.

What You’ll Do

• Research and document technical accounting positions on complex or non-routine transactions (e.g., multi-element hardware/SaaS bundled arrangements, contract modifications, new product launches).
• Draft accounting memos supporting judgment areas under IFRS (e.g., IFRS 15 revenue recognition, IFRS 16 leases, IFRS 2 share-based payments, IAS 36 impairment).
• Monitor new and amended IFRS pronouncements, assess impact on the business, and lead implementation efforts.
• Partner with Legal, Sales, and Product teams to review new contract structures and advise on accounting implications before deals close.
• Work with the Assistant Controller to review technical accounting policies and ensure they are documented, current, and consistently applied across all legal entities.
• Act as the primary point of contact for auditors on technical accounting matters and complex areas of judgment.
• Support M&A due diligence and purchase accounting, if applicable.
• Partner with the Assistant Controller on the practical application of technical positions during the close process.
• Provide training and guidance to the broader accounting team on technical topics.

Role Expectations

This is a P4 level role. At Solink, individuals at this level are established contributors who work independently within their area of expertise while receiving general direction from their manager.

• Serves as the go-to resource for IFRS interpretation on complex, non-routine transactions for the accounting team and the entire organization.
• Drafts technical accounting memos and position papers with minimal oversight.
• Evaluates new revenue arrangements, leases, or financial instruments for accounting treatment.
• Own Solink’s accounting policy manual.

What Success Looks Like

• Solink accounting policy manual is completed and up to date.
• Clean and efficient annual audit process.
• Solink prepared well in advance of any accounting changes impacting financial reporting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field; CPA or CA required (or in progress).
• 3-5 years of accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) experience strongly preferred.
• Deep working knowledge of IFRS, with particular strength in revenue recognition (IFRS 15) and other judgment-heavy areas.
• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate research and first-draft memo preparation, with rigorous review and professional judgment applied before finalizing any position.
• Experience with multi-element or bundled revenue arrangements — hardware/software combined offerings a strong plus.
• Strong technical writing skills; ability to produce clear, well-supported accounting memos.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-accounting stakeholders (Sales, Legal, Product).

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to IFRS reporting.
• Experience working directly with external auditors on complex accounting matters.
• Experience in a hardware-enabled SaaS or similarly complex revenue environment.
• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency reporting structures.
• Experience leading new accounting standard implementation projects.

Security Requirements

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire.
• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada.
• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.
