About Convoy Finance

We like working with people who move fast, think for themselves, and care about doing great work. That’s pretty much how we run Convoy.

We’re a small finance and accounting firm working with technology, SaaS, fintech and Web3 companies across Canada and internationally. We work directly with founders and senior finance teams, helping them with accounting, tax, finance operations and CFO advisory.

Our team is small, which means there isn’t much bureaucracy. You get real ownership, direct access to senior people and the chance to actually make things happen.

Most of the team is based in Toronto, so you’ll be working closely with the people around you while also getting exposure to clients and colleagues in different markets.

Why Convoy?

You’ll work with interesting companies, smart people and problems that don’t always come with an instruction manual.

You’ll have direct exposure to founders and senior finance leaders and get to see how growing companies actually operate. Because we’re a small team, your work is visible and your contribution matters.

You’ll be based in Toronto alongside most of the team, but our clients and colleagues aren’t all in one place. You’ll get exposure to different businesses, industries and markets, without being stuck doing the same thing every day.

We also make time for team lunches, happy hours and, when the numbers are good, the occasional team trip.

It’s fast-paced. It’s challenging. And it’s definitely not boring.

If you want to keep learning, take real ownership and grow beyond traditional accounting, we’d like to hear from you.

Compensation

USD 90,000–130,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
