We’re LumiQ – an audio-first professional education platform for CPAs. We help CPAs get their continuing professional development (CPD) hours through engaging podcasts with business leaders (the CFOs of Slack, Shopify, Yelp, Yahoo!, TD Bank, and Wealthsimple just to name a few). CPD/CPE is the yearly required learning that CPAs generally dread doing. They’re tired of dealing with boring webinars, irrelevant content and product experiences that are out-of-date. That’s why they’ve flocked to LumiQ and our mission to make professional learning enjoyable.
With hundreds of companies signed up, we’re at the precipice of launching a global movement that’s going to massively change the professional education and podcasting industries. Following our recent Series A, we’ve expanded into the US market and are seeing wonderful early signs of traction.
Despite our lightning growth, we tend not to subscribe to the mantra of “move fast and break things.” Our goal is to build a profitable company, where our employees can learn and grow, and where customers see real value and genuinely enjoy using the product. We are building a company meant to last, and if this resonates with you, we hope you will consider joining us on our journey to transform professional education!
You'll Be Responsible For:
- Owning the monthly and quarterly financial closing processes, including identifying and actioning improvements in efficiency and quality.

- Leading other critical accounting functions including payroll and the cash conversion cycle.
- Assisting on income tax and SALT returns, and transfer pricing set-up, as required.
- Performing monthly variance and opportunity analyses and building monthly Management reports.
- Meeting with cost centre owners to discuss variance and update the monthly rolling forecast.
- Assisting on the quarterly Board presentation and investor emails.
- Preparing ad hoc analyses including financial "what if"; scenarios, as required.
Who You Are:
- Accounting designation (CPA) with 5+ years of progressive experience in accounting and finance.
- Strong analytical skills with an aptitude for numbers, and the ability to convey complex information and bridge the gap between financial results and business trends.
- Deep comfort in Excel, including financial modelling and report automation.
- Able to work independently with little direction but also have a strong collaboration approach.
- Have good communication skills and able to build positive relationships within a cross-functional team.
