The Role Reporting to the VP of Finance, the Senior Accountant will own day‑to‑day accounting operations and the monthly close across our multi‑entity, cross‑border (U.S. and Canada) structure. This is a high‑ownership, hands‑on role for a technically strong, high‑performing accountant who is ready to grow as the company scales. You will work directly with the VP of Finance on technical accounting, lender and sponsor reporting, and — critically — the systems, automation, and process build‑out that will scale the business, including an upcoming ERP migration, workflow automation across AR/AP and close, and the integrations that connect them. We are specifically looking for a high‑performing Senior Accountant who wants to build something — someone who instinctively looks for the manual step that should be automated, the reconciliation that should be a system integration, and the spreadsheet that should be a workflow. As Tersus scales quickly across its U.S. and Canadian operations, this role is positioned on a deliberate career‑growth track—with expanding ownership of the finance tech stack and process design, broad exposure to leadership and our investors, and a clear path toward an Accounting Manager or Controller role as the finance team builds out. The right person will outgrow this job description, and we want to be the place where that happens. Key Responsibilities Month‑End Close & Financial Reporting Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, depreciation, and amortization.

Monitor daily cash positions across U.S. and Canadian bank accounts and currencies. Technical Accounting Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 across the company’s equipment, service, usage‑based, and recommerce revenue streams. Maintain the fixed asset and construction‑in‑progress sub‑ledgers under ASC 360 across both entities, including capitalization policy, useful‑life and depreciation method determinations. Apply ASC 842 lease accounting across the company’s lease portfolio as both lessee and lessor.
