Senior Accountant in Vancouver

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Accountant to join a fast-paced, acquisition-focused environment supporting private equity-backed portfolio companies and public company compliance.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone coming out of Big 4 audit (or strong mid-tier public accounting) who wants to move beyond traditional audit into corporate finance, financial due diligence, operational accounting, and M&A exposure.

This role offers direct visibility into acquisition activity, private equity diligence, financial reporting, and portfolio company operations—ideal for someone looking to grow into a broader finance leadership path.

• What You’ll Do
• Review historical and projected financial statements for acquisition targets
• Perform trend and variance analysis across income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow
• Analyze revenue drivers, EBITDA trends, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures
• Assess accounting policies, quality of earnings, and identify non-recurring adjustments
• Support EBITDA normalization, synergy validation, and valuation assumptions
• Participate in management meetings and summarize findings for senior leadership
• Transaction Support
• Assist in preparing financial due diligence reports and investment committee materials
• Coordinate data room requests and work closely with legal, tax, and accounting advisors
• Identify financial, operational, and accounting risks impacting valuation or deal structure
• Conduct sensitivity analysis and scenario testing for downside exposure
• Prepare journal entries, accruals, and month-end close adjustments
• Reconcile key balance sheet accounts including cash, AR, AP, and intercompany balances
• Support monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial reporting
• Prepare internal management reporting and variance analysis
• Assist with cash flow tracking and short-term forecasting
• Audit, Compliance & Systems
• Maintain general ledger integrity and supporting documentation
• Support audit readiness and respond to external auditor requests
• Ensure compliance with US GAAP and internal controls
• Assist with ERP/accounting system improvements and process optimization
• What We’re Looking For
• 3–4+ years of experience in Big 4 audit strongly preferred
• Strong mid-tier public accounting candidates also considered (Grant Thornton, BDO, MNP, etc.)
• CPA completed or actively pursuing completion strongly preferred
• Strong financial statement analysis and accounting foundation
• Exposure to corporate finance, diligence, or transaction advisory is highly attractive
• Professional communication style and strong executive presence
• Self-starter with strong accountability, ownership, and drive
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Why This Role

This is not a standard Senior Accountant role.

It is designed for someone who wants to move from pure audit into private equity exposure, acquisition diligence, portfolio finance, and strategic financial operations.

• You’ll gain visibility into how deals get done—and how businesses scale after acquisition
