“I've never worked anywhere with such a range of opportunities to expand your skills. We get to work with a multitude of brands, and an outstanding team. Redbrick is a place where you always feel supported to do your best work.”

     — Mike, Redbrick

We are changing the way work gets done, and building an exceptional team is our top priority. We cheerlead your goals and accomplishments and are invested in your future. In line with putting your health and safety first, we have made working in the office fully optional. Most of our team enjoys a blend of home and office. In-office time brings many perks, however, we also place emphasis on planning events and fun that all can enjoy.

We are seeking a Full-Time Senior Accountant who loves solving challenges, hard work, and technology. You will take initiative and be comfortable in a VERY fast-paced, multi-faceted environment (as the tech industry is known for!). Efficient in multitasking, you will maintain attention to detail and manage time effectively and efficiently. Reporting to the Controller, you will be responsible for supporting the Finance Team in the daily financial needs of the company. You will be able to work in a small team, while also being able to work independently. This role will have the option to work in a flexible hybrid/in-office environment. 

What does a day look like in my role?

We get it: You want to know what you’re signing up for before you apply, right? This is what you need to know: As a Senior Accountant, you’ll be responsible for:

• General ledger maintenance

• Monthly working-paper reconciliations

• Overseeing AP/AR

• Bank reconciliation oversight

• Fixed assets

• Journal entries

What we would like to see in you.

Every Redbricker has three things in common: We’re curious, hungry and good-humoured. We try our best to balance hard work with good, old-fashioned fun. As a Senior Accountant, these are the extra superpowers we’re on the lookout for:
