About the Role

We are working with Canadian Series A–B startups and are looking for a hands-on finance professional who can own the entire financial reporting lifecycle end-to-end.

This is not a narrow bookkeeping role. Youll be responsible for:

• Setting up and maintaining clean bookkeeping systems
  
• Producing high-quality financial reports
  
• Generating insights for founders and investors
  
• Building scalable, tech-enabled finance processes across multiple startups

Youll work directly with the founder, have meaningful ownership, and play a core role in shaping how finance and reporting are done across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain charts of accounts, month-end close processes, and controls
  
• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and audit-readiness

Financial Reporting & Insights

• Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
  
• Build founder- and investor-ready reporting packs
  
• Translate numbers into clear insights (runway, burn, trends, risks)
  
• Support investor updates and performance reporting

Systems, Automation & Analytics

• Build efficient reporting workflows using modern tools
  
• Implement automations to reduce manual work and improve accuracy
  
• Help design scalable systems that can support multiple companies

Stakeholder Communication

• Work closely with founders, partners, and internal stakeholders
  
• Present and explain financial data clearly to non-finance audiences
  
• Support meetings with Canadian / US-based clients when needed

Requirements

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in finance, accounting, or financial reporting
  
• Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent strong accounting qualification
  
• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and/or Xero
  
• Prior experience working with international clients (Canada / US preferred)
  
• Strong understanding of the end-to-end reporting lifecycle
  
• Comfortable building systems, processes, and documentation from scratch
  
• Tech-savvy mindset; experience with automations is a strong plus
  
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  
• Proactive, ownership-driven, and detail-oriented

Working Hours & Setup

• In-person (Lahore, DHA Phase 1)
  
• Core working hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM PKT
  
• Must be comfortable attending occasional meetings in Canadian / US Eastern hours

Why This Role?

• Direct exposure to venture-backed startups

• High ownership and autonomy
  
• Opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role as the business scales
  
• Challenging work with real upside for strong performers
