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. You’ll 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

You’ll 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

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)

Systems, Automation & Analytics

• Build efficient reporting workflows using modern tools
• Implement automations to reduce manual work and improve accuracy

Requirements

• 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
• Work 1-on-1 with the founder
