Senior Manager, Accounting

ABOUT PHOENIX

Founded in 2019, Phoenix is building the most trusted telehealth platform in Canada, making specialist healthcare accessible to every Canadian, wherever they are. Our platform breaks down barriers to care, empowering patients to take control of their health with personalized treatment options and the guidance of licensed providers.

If you thrive where big ideas turn into real impact, you'll fit right in here. We're a team of creative problem-solvers who move deliberately and collaborate in person, because we think the best work happens that way. At Phoenix, you'll find autonomy over your work, people who care about each other's success, and a mission that's making healthcare better for Canadians.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Accounting who thrives in complexity and enjoys building financial foundations that scale. This is a hands-on leadership role for a technical accountant who values accuracy, strong controls, and clean data, and who wants to help shape the growth of Finance at Phoenix.

Reporting to the Controller, you’ll partner cross-functionally so that financial data flows cleanly across inventory, payments, payroll and accounting systems. You’ll own the month-end close across our multi-entity structure, lead our controls framework and audit readiness, and drive the accounting workstreams of our upcoming ERP implementation. As our business model evolves, you’ll also own an increasingly complex revenue recognition picture. You’ll think strategically about how the accounting function works: spotting weak points in our workflows, introducing the policies to fix them, and using automation and AI to work smarter.

WHAT YOU’LL DO TO SUPPORT THE COMPANY MISSION:

Team Leadership

- Lead and develop the bookkeeping function and any accounting staff or contractors, setting priorities, deadlines and quality standards, and build out the team as we grow

- Review and sign off on the team’s journal entries and AP/expense postings for accuracy and correct entity allocation before they reach the Controller

- Act as deputy to the Controller and a trusted partner to senior finance leaders

Month-end Close and Reporting

- Own the monthly close calendar and checklist for all entities, and drive it to a consistent, shorter timeline

- Review and approve balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepaids and fixed assets, and prepare the more complex or judgmental entries

- Own revenue recognition, including policy, accounting treatment and reconciliations, as our revenue streams and business model become more complex

- Own inventory accounting end-to-end, including valuation, reconciliation and cost-of-goods-sold analysis

- Prepare intercompany entries and eliminations, perform monthly intercompany reconciliations, and lead multi-entity consolidation

- Oversee payroll-related accounting and reconciliations

Internal Controls, Policy, and Audit Readiness

- Own the internal controls framework: audit our current workflows, identify weaknesses in the control process, and lead corrective action

- Design, document and improve accounting processes, approval workflows and segregation of duties

- Draft, introduce and maintain finance policies

- Make Phoenix audit-ready: build and maintain audit-ready documentation (reconciliations, process narratives, control evidence) and act as the day-to-day contact for external auditors during year-end and review engagements

Tax Compliance

- Lead the tax workstream and own the filing calendar for every entity

- Oversee the preparation, reconciliation and filing of GST/HST and provincial sales tax returns

- Confirm payroll source deductions and other government remittances are calculated and paid on time

- Manage the preparation of corporate income tax returns and supporting schedules

- Manage the relationship with external tax advisors and respond to tax authority inquiries, escalating complex matters to the Controller
