Remote Accountant (Multinational / Multi-Entity) | Remote | Canada

  • Location: Remote / Virtual
  • Job Type: Full-Time
  • Salary Range: $3,000/month (negotiable depending on experience)

At HireHawk, we connect top global talent with high-performing U.S. companies. Our focus is on finding exceptional professionals who bring both expertise and drive to every role. We’re passionate about helping candidates grow their careers while supporting our clients with reliable, remote-ready talent that makes an impact from day one.

We’re supporting a venture-backed biotech company that operates through multiple subsidiaries across Canada with entities in the US and UK. The finance function is lean, hands-on, and built for scale—meaning your work will directly influence how cleanly this organization closes, consolidates, and reports as it grows.

This is a new, high-trust accounting role focused on multi-jurisdiction, multi-entity accounting and intercompany coordination across Canada, the UK, and the US. You’ll act as an advisory-style partner to CFO-level stakeholders—someone who can both execute and explain the “why” behind the numbers. There are no perfectly pre-built processes waiting for you here; you’ll help shape how intercompany flows are tracked, how entities are coordinated, and how reporting stays accurate across different standards. If you enjoy solving messy accounting structures and turning them into a clean, repeatable system, you’ll have real impact in this seat.

Responsibilities:

  • Own day-to-day accounting support across a multinational biotech structure (Canada with US and UK entities), ensuring accuracy across all books
  • Build and maintain reliable intercompany transaction tracking (billing, recharges, loans, eliminations) so balances tie out cleanly each period
  • Support consolidation-ready accounting and coordination across entities, helping create a clear path to consolidated reporting
  • Partner closely with CFO-level stakeholders to deliver clean financial insights, explanations, and progress updates (not just spreadsheets)
  • Ensure accounting practices align across differing regulatory and reporting environments, flagging risks early and proposing practical fixes
  • Improve or establish core close processes (checklists, timelines, reconciliations) in an environment with evolving systems and structure
  • Coordinate effectively with distributed teams across regions, communicating status, blockers, and next steps with consistency
  • Maintain high-quality documentation of entity structures, intercompany assumptions, and accounting decisions to reduce future ambiguity

Must-Have:

  • Hands-on experience supporting multinational, multi-entity accounting with subsidiaries under a parent company
  • Proven multi-jurisdiction accounting experience in both UK and Canada environments
  • Strong intercompany accounting experience, including eliminations/reconciliations and consolidation support
  • Confident working knowledge of IFRS and the ability to apply it in real-world scenarios
  • Experience working alongside CFOs or finance leadership in a support/advisory capacity
  • Strong remote communication skills and the ability to collaborate across regions with regular progress updates
  • Ability to work Monday–Friday with daily overlap with an Eastern Time (EST) team (hours are flexible, overlap is required)

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience supporting US entities and/or bridging between US GAAP and IFRS reporting needs
  • CPA certification (or equivalent) and experience in controlled/regulated industries
  • Biotech or life sciences exposure (especially in multi-entity, venture-backed environments)
  • QuickBooks experience (or similar SMB accounting tools) plus strong Excel/Sheets capability
  • Experience setting up intercompany frameworks, charts of accounts, or close infrastructure from scratch
  • Access to a $200k+ perk marketplace with instant discounts on 150+ services
  • Access up to 50% of approved earnings before payday (no credit checks or fees)
