Accounting Manager at a Canadian accounting firm for eCommerce brands

About UpCounting

UpCounting is a fully remote, tech-powered firm helping eCommerce and digital-first businesses scale with confidence through clean, reliable financials. Their global team works asynchronously, giving everyone time for deep, meaningful focus, and they use smart systems and automation to deliver high-quality, efficient work across every department.

The culture is built around excellence, autonomy, respect, and curiosity: a respectful, collaborative environment where people feel supported, have space for life outside of work, and are trusted to lead with ownership and care.

The role

This role is for someone who wants to help founders of eCommerce brands scale with confidence, enjoys leading talented accountants, and thrives in a tech-forward environment where continuous improvement is encouraged. You'll lead a small team of accountants (1–5 direct reports), own the quality of their deliverables across multiple client files, and help clients understand the story behind their numbers.

What you'll be doing

• Team leadership — manage and mentor a team of accountants to deliver accurate, timely, high-quality work

• Full-cycle accounting oversight — review reconciliations, financial reports, and month-end close deliverables across multiple client files

• Operational excellence — ensure UpCounting's accounting processes are followed consistently and improve them where needed

• Client support & communication — help clients understand their numbers, communicate insights clearly, and ensure smooth financial operations

• System & process optimization — identify automation opportunities and contribute to scalable, efficient workflows alongside Controllers and senior leadership

What you bring

• 5+ years of experience in accounting management, ideally within a firm or multi-client environment

• High proficiency in QuickBooks Online and/or Xero (NetSuite is a bonus)

• Strong technical foundation across full-cycle accounting, reconciliations, and month-end processes

• Excellent communication and leadership skills — you elevate the people around you

• Excellent English — this is a client-facing role

• Comfortable using automation tools and improving processes

• A calm, structured leadership style — you bring clarity without micromanagement

• Based in Latin America with availability to work EST hours

• eCommerce client experience is preferred; FP&A or financial modeling experience is an asset

Your journey at UpCounting

• First week — meet the People Team and Accounting leadership, onboard into the systems, connect with your direct reports, and understand workflows across tools, teams, and time zones

• Month 1 — manage client files, team rhythms, and weekly deliverables; lead your team through core processes and learn the review system end-to-end

• Month 3 — fully own your portfolio of accountants and clients: setting priorities, supporting performance, ensuring high-quality delivery, and improving workflows

Working hours & setup

• Fully remote

• First six months: align with EST hours (9 AM – 5 PM) to onboard smoothly; then transition to 80% EST overlap

What UpCounting offers

• Fully remote + async — they care about outcomes, not location

• Paid time off, Me Days, stat holidays in your region, and a year-end company office closure

• Promotion from within based on performance, leadership, reliability, and impact

• Continuous learning — certifications, internal training, and ongoing development

• Fair, market-aligned compensation matched to your experience and local market
