Accounting Manager

About Brickeye Brickeye leverages the power of data from construction to drive risk mitigation and productivity gains. We are a fast-growing construction technology company developing the world’s most advanced IoT-based risk mitigation platform for water damage mitigation, concrete quality / defect control, and real-time site intelligence. We protect construction projects from avoidable loss, reduce the total cost of risk, and help asset owners, general contractors, and insurers deliver projects on time and on budget. The Challenge Brickeye’s finances are more complex than a typical startup’s. We ship physical hardware and sell software, so every month’s numbers include inventory, subscription revenue and project-based contracts sold to several types of customers. As we scale, that complexity grows faster than headcount. Investors, lenders and auditors expect numbers that are accurate, on time and defensible. Leadership needs those numbers fast enough to make decisions. A close that depends on manual work, spreadsheets and a few people’s memory can’t keep up for long. The Accounting Manager is the person who fixes that. Reporting directly to our CFO, you’ll own accounting end to end, from the close and controls to inventory, audit and tax. You’ll lead a small team that punches well above its size because AI and automation are built into how it works. This role suits someone who sees a messy process and wants to rebuild it rather than patch it, and who wants the systems, standards and team to carry their fingerprints. \uD83E\uDDED Core Responsibilities Own the month-end, quarter-end and year-end close, delivering accurate, timely financial statements and a close process that gets faster and cleaner every cycle Lead and develop a small accounting team, setting priorities, reviewing work, and coaching people toward greater ownership and judgment Build an AI-forward accounting function, finding and rolling out automation, AI tools and system improvements that remove manual work from AP, AR, reconciliations and reporting Manage Payroll across both Canada and the U.S. Manage inventory and cost accounting for our sensor hardware, including costing, valuation, reserves, cycle counts and reconciling physical stock against the books Design and maintain internal controls, accounting policies and documentation that hold up under investor, lender and auditor scrutiny Partner with the CFO and Financial Analyst on reporting, budgeting, forecasting, board materials and investor or lender requests, turning the numbers into insight leadership can act on Collaborate with operations, sales and supply chain on revenue recognition, contract terms, purchasing and vendor management so financial impacts are understood before decisions are made Represent finance externally as the main contact for auditors, tax advisors, banks and key vendors, and run the annual audit and tax filings ️ What You Bring A professional accounting designation (CPA or equivalent), in good standing 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years leading a team or running the function as the senior accounting owner A background in either a high-growth startup or scale-up finance team, where you built processes from scratch, or a Big 4 firm with a strong audit or advisory foundation (ideally both) Deep, hands-on knowledge of GAAP/ASPE or IFRS, including revenue recognition across mixed subscription and project-based contracts A track record of adopting AI, automation or new accounting systems to transform how a team works, beyond just trying them out Strong command of modern cloud accounting and ERP tools, and advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills Prior usage of AI-native accounting tools (Rillet, Lensing or Campfire) is a plus Comfort being both strategic and hands-on: you can present to the CFO in the morning and fix a reconciliation in the afternoon \uD83E\uDD16 AI-First Mindset We believe in AI’…
