The Role

We're looking for a Technical Accounting Manager to be our go-to person on technical accounting research, keeping our accounting policies current, and assisting with complex transaction accounting for the company. This role is distinct from the core close/consolidation function — it's focused on getting the judgment calls right: revenue recognition for complex or bundled hardware/software arrangements, new accounting pronouncements, and one-off or non-routine transactions. You'll report to the Assistant Controller and act as the internal technical resource for the rest of the accounting and finance operations team, as well as a key liaison to external auditors on complex matters.

Given our hardware-enabled SaaS model and multi-entity structure reporting under IFRS, this role has real scope for meaningful technical work — multi-element revenue arrangements, lease accounting, share-based payments, and financial instruments, among others.

What You’ll Do

• Research and document technical accounting positions on complex or non-routine transactions (e.g., multi-element hardware/SaaS bundled arrangements, contract modifications, new product launches).

• Draft accounting memos supporting judgment areas under IFRS (e.g., IFRS 15 revenue recognition, IFRS 16 leases, IFRS 2 share-based payments, IAS 36 impairment).

• Monitor new and amended IFRS pronouncements, assess impact on the business, and lead implementation efforts.

• Partner with Legal, Sales, and Product teams to review new contract structures and advise on accounting implications before deals close.

• Work with the Assistant Controller to review technical accounting policies and ensure they are documented, current, and consistently applied across all legal entities.

• Act as the primary point of contact for auditors on technical accounting matters and complex areas of judgment.

• Support M&A due diligence and purchase accounting, if applicable.

• Partner with the Assistant Controller on the practical application of technical positions during the close process.

• Provide training and guidance to the broader accounting team on technical topics.

Role Expectations

This is a P4 level role. At Solink, individuals at this level are established contributors who work independently within their area of expertise while receiving general direction from their manager.

In this role, you'll be expected to:

• Serves as the go-to resource for IFRS interpretation on complex, non-routine transactions for the accounting team and the entire organization

• Drafts technical accounting memos and position papers with minimal oversight

• Evaluates new revenue arrangements, leases, or financial instruments for accounting treatment

• Own Solink’s accounting policy manual

What success looks like:

• Solink accounting policy manual is completed and up to date

• Clean and efficient annual audit process

• Solink prepared well in advance of any accounting changes impacting financial reporting

What You Bring

Must-Have

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field; CPA or CA required (or in progress).

• 3-5 years of accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) experience strongly preferred.

• Deep working knowledge of IFRS, with particular strength in revenue recognition (IFRS 15) and other judgment-heavy areas.

• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate research and first-draft memo preparation, with rigorous review and professional judgment applied before finalizing any position.

• Experience with multi-element or bundled revenue arrangements — hardware/software combined offerings a strong plus.

• Strong technical writing skills; ability to produce clear, well-supported accounting memos.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-accounting stakeholders (Sales, Legal, Product).

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to IFRS reporting.

• Experience working directly with external auditors on complex accounting matters.

• Experience in a hardware-enabled SaaS or similarly complex revenue environment.

• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency reporting structures.

• Experience leading new accounting standard implementation projects.

Security Requirements

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;

• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada;

• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.
