At Meow, we provide startups with business accounts, corporate cards, and the clean financial reporting they need to operate and raise capital. Early-stage companies often don’t need a full-time accountant, but they do need reliable books and investor-ready numbers. We bundle bookkeeping, tax, and reporting into a simple finance-in-a-box solution so founders can focus on building.

 

We’re hiring an Accounting Lead who wants real ownership in a fast-moving startup environment. You’ll manage startup clients, ensuring their month-end close is accurate, on time, and scalable. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, systems thinking, and direct collaboration with founders.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Manage client relationships

  • Owning the creation, review, and issuance of flawless and timely monthly financials for 20-40 clients

  • Managing and training preparer team for bullet-proof financials and strong client margins

  • Communicating with clients via Slack and Email: answering questions, obtaining information for closes, etc

  • Cleaning and setting up new sets of books for newly signed clients

 

Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years of accounting experience

  • Strong understanding of month-end close and financial reporting

  • Experience reviewing the work of others (bookkeepers or junior accountants)

  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple clients simultaneously

  • Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders

 

This is a high-autonomy role where you’ll truly own your portfolio and have the autonomy to improve how work gets done. You’ll work directly with innovative, early-stage startups, gaining rare exposure to how companies operate while they’re scaling. Because of the responsibility and client volume, you’ll develop faster than in a traditional accounting role, building skills in prioritization, systems design, and stakeholder management in a fast-moving environment.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
