Senior Accountant

The Landline Company (landlineco.com) is revolutionizing air travel by bridging the gap between regional communities and major airline hubs. We partner with top airlines like American and Air Canada to offer innovative multimodal connections across North America. We’ve launched a first-of-its-kind remote terminal checkpoint to expand the reach of major metro airports into local neighborhood checkpoints. Our luxury motorcoaches replace short flights with a faster, more sustainable alternative—reducing costs, addressing pilot shortages, and enhancing passenger journeys.

The Role:
We are looking for a Senior Accountant to take full ownership of finance operations for our Canadian business unit. Reporting to our U.S.-based Controller, you’ll manage accounts payable and receivable, payroll, treasury, corporate income tax, and GST/HST compliance for the Canadian entity. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing business unit, shape how its finance function runs, and make a visible impact as it scales. It’s ideal for someone who works independently, takes pride in getting the details right, and enjoys building processes that grow with the business.

• Manage treasury for the Canadian entity, including cash management and forecasting, bank reconciliations, and intercompany funding with our U.S. parent company
• Prepare and file GST/HST returns (and QST where applicable) and keep sales tax processes compliant as the business grows
• Coordinate corporate income tax compliance, including T2 filings and instalments, in partnership with external tax advisors
• Lead the month-end close for the Canadian entity, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, intercompany accounting, and reporting to the Controller
• Support consolidation, year-end audit or review engagements, and correspondence with the CRA and other government agencies
• Build and strengthen accounting processes and internal controls to support a fast-growing business unit

What We’re Looking For:

• CPA designation (or progress toward it) preferred
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including full-cycle accounting for an entity or business unit
• Hands-on experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and treasury
• Strong working knowledge of Canadian tax compliance, including GST/HST and corporate income tax (T2); QST knowledge a plus
• Experience with month-end close, account reconciliations, and intercompany accounting, ideally reporting into a U.S. parent company
• Solid understanding of ASPE or IFRS; familiarity with U.S. GAAP a plus
• Strong Excel skills and experience with an accounting system or ERP; ADP experience a plus
• Self-directed and comfortable being the go-to finance person for a business unit while partnering with a remote, U.S.-based team
• Experience in a high-growth environment or in transportation, aviation, or hospitality, and French language proficiency, a plus

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Compensation: C$90,000 – C$115,000 annually, depending on experience and location
